I completely disagree. First off it is your opinion that Barack won because of race. I know the voting was very devisive, but HRC being a woman, people not trusting "Slick Willy" had a lot to do with it. Plus I think a stump could run and get votes as long as it wasn't a vote for Bush / McCain policies. Look at the record turnouts. I would say 19 million people believe Barack Obama can be a leader. I think if you look at the economic plans of both Obama and McCain, Obama wants to make sure there is a middle class.
Sorry dude, Obama is an inexperienced senator who has been groomed by Chicago political machine and has been presented as the second coming of Christ to save the country. He has produced nothing as a senator, he has been clear that he is an extension of the Kennedy policies, which are far worst than Bush’s and he has had a questionable past with people like Wright, Ayers and Rezko. It don’t matter what excuses are being made for Wright, there is none for being associated with Ayers who is the equal to McVie and Rezko is typical Chicago. Do you want a president with association like these?
Race is THE issue, it wasn’t made an issue until the media and some people made it an issue. It has been clear the moment the question was made “is America ready for a black man as a president” and to the point that “we have made history by electing a black president” – if this was not about race, why the h*ll are these questions being raised?
History was made over and over but this is not now. He has not even been officially nominated.
I listened to Obama supporters and volunteers complain that this country is racist due to the opposition that they have encountered over trying to get people to vote for him. Not about race?
I read several pieces from professors and physiologists who are democrat and who want to see Obama win that explain what they see as a clear movement based on people who are voting for him to; make history and to “…lift the guilt off of the shoulders of the average American over 300 years of slavery.”
Obama and his wife are elitist, they hold the middle class in contempt and don't care about us.
You said you need a leader to fix the issues, not health care, Iraq, Oil, Social Security........are those not the issues facing all of us. We need to revise the tax codes to hold the "Independently Wealthy" accountable, not paper losses, but they should hold the highest tax burden. Bush is so abrasive that he has alienated America from the rest of the world. If we just focus on the needs of our people and quit meddling in other countries issues, we possibly will have real allies in the future.
Amazing, we need a leader who will not kowtow to the minority who needs things in life, but a leader who will bring prosperity to the country, not to a select individuals based on some study or census.
We don’t need to revise any tax code to hold anyone
accountable, accountable for what?
You know under their idea of rich, you are rich. You own too much and haven't paid enough. Well if you are so convinced that it is wrong for the rich not to pay their fair share, write a check to the IRS.
The labor of the people is already taken away through the present tax system and it is used to control the economy and prevents people from moving up. It is a form of control and revising anything leads to more control and more power for people like Obama and Kennedy and others who don't care about you or I.
We are not alienated, we are targeted. You seem to not understand that we don’t need the world as much as they need us. I think that you fallen into the same trap and listen to the rhetoric of the idiot left.
And if you don't believe congress and politicians are not owned by PAC's which in turn are owned by major corporations Board of Directors, not the common employee, rather a group of directors that get multi million dollar bonuses every year and then donate that to their local congressman to get their issues passed, then you have missed the millions and millions of dollars spent on TV ads and the related in running these campaigns. A small percentage is by the common person. Look at the oil companies, Congress was harder on Roger Clemens than getting answers out of the Oil Companies CEO's about their record profits, while the rest of us spend our hard earned money to feed them. This country is becoming a 2 class country. We need to fix this problem.
Well I don’t know about you, but I have been part of a PAC with the largest pharma company and there was no way that the board or any upper management could make that impact. Some of the issues we worked on could not have been done without the voters within the company to speak up to their representative. One other thing you and many others forget, companies don’t vote.
Roger Clemens belongs to a bigger organization than does Exxon – baseball. Baseball needs to lose it’s exemption and forced to become a business, not a monopoly. The oil companies (which are not monopolies) should not be put on the spot until you and I vote out the same people who prevent them from finding and using our resources and stop forcing them from buying oil from our enemies. We are the one who is at fault for the high price of oil.
