Been using it for years now.
Did mine the other night in 1hr flat, it remembers the prior year's info and blazes through all the deductions.
The whole thing cost about $100 and the returns should be in the account in 2 weeks max.
Easy-peasy.

It certainly was 'convenient' for Obama that he wasn't in the Senate at the time of the Iraq War authorization vote, but he did actualy speak out against the war back then at a time when the likes of Clinton didn't and when it seemed almost unpatriotic to take an anti-war stance as a politician. I'll give him some points for that.

Easier to speak up as an "outsider" than face the considerable pressure of the Congress, President and the mood of the country then. FWIW I was very vocally against the war before it started, but of course that counted for nothing.

Anybody see my men on the TV last night?

Texas is in the bag, or perhaps the slot would be a better term.

Giantaxe

Agreed, that's why I said it was 'convenient' for Obama not to have been in the Senate back then. Otoh, he had already announced that he would likely run for the Senate, and given the mood of the country and the 'unpatriotic' label that was being pinned to politicians who opposed the Iraq war, I do think he deserves some degree of credit for speaking out.

Had to laugh at Romney yesterday talking about how the US was the worlds nice guy because they have never taken any land after they have won wars. He used Korea where the UN and China finnished at the virtual same point (No land won there) Germany which we all occupied for 40 years and Iraq lmfao WON?????? yeah right.

elfman

did he really say that? what an arse.
Leaving aside the conquest of Native American lands, he's obviously ignorant of the fact that the only reason the US owns Puerto Rico and Guam is because they seized them from Spain in the war of 1898. And in that same war the USA seized the Phillippines from Spain and governed them as a US colony for almost 50 years.

What a load of bollox the $600 stimulous rebate cheques will be sent out in May. I need some stimulation now!!

The US is winning the war against Al Qaeda in Iraq.

As for the stimulus checks....throwing mine right into savings.
Don't need it, but hey its always been my money

BritGuyTN

would have been a lot cheaper just to not invade in the first place since al qaeda weren't a threat under Saddam's regime'

That trillion dollars could have given a lot more flexibility with economic policy

cpltony

Agreed. But the US invaded under the impression there were WMD's.
As far as many of Saddam's top military guys knew, there was.
This is what the US intelligence worked from.

A mistake looking at it now. But at the time......he was a threat

Have you considered diplomacy as a trade?

cpltony

Not really no.

cpltony

I'm just going by what the troops are telling us.
