Re: Obama Wins!!!!!
A major factor which gave the nod to Obama is because you had SOME people vote because of the color of his skin....
If those people could have said...Yes I like his platform or his economic stradegy is to my liking, or some substantial reason I could understand but to vote because he is a Black Man with no experience, that is plain wrong!!!! |

People forget it's Congress that writes the legislation and spends the money, not the President. Bush's biggest problem is he never found his veto pen. |

Besides the War in Iraq, what specifically didn't Bush do to make you feel better. That's what this is about, feelings. And why support Obama and not Clinton? What is he going to change? Do you think that January 21st he'll pull all our troops out of Iraq? Do you think he'll lower taxes with a Democratic Legislature? what? I'd like to know:) Why didn't you like McCain? He obviously didn't want Bush's endorsement either and Bush did not campaign for him. (for the most part) McCain said he'd lower taxes and provide a tax break for people that wanted to buy their own health care. I don't think he meant he'd write them a blank check, but take any money spent on health care off their taxes, up to $5k a year. That's pretty cool in my book. Do you think that Republicans in general were responsible for the recent economic turmoil, even though they don't control Congress and did not pass the Legislature that led to the demise of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac? BTW, anyone can answer these questions, but I'd like to know. I'm just happy I don't have to endure the political commercials while I'm trying to watch the weather anymore! :D |

Obama has no Executive experience and has spent more than two years of his four in the Senate on the campaign trail, thus he has less experience than anyone running from the major parties. Palin was the only candidate with executive experience. She's the only one that actually had a budget to adherred to. She was the only one to actually run anything. Obama has never written legislation in either the state or federal legislature. He signed on to a few bills after they were well on their way to passage. Obama voted "present" while in the Senate more than he voted "yeah" or "nea", yet he still managed to be ranked the most liberal of all senators. That puts Obama left of Kennedy and Franks. That's not leading. That's not running the show. |

Before or after he halts military research as he's promised. Before or after he pulls our troops out of a vastly improved Iraq as promised? Remember, Obama was against the very effective surge. |

Re: Obama Wins!!!!!
Hey Rox.
I don't like Obama, nor do I like McCain. I do however like them both more then I like Bush, and believe either one of them would do better then Bush. The war in Iraq, and the bailout are my two main reasons for hating Bush. I believe both are terrible for the economy, and just plain stupid...and IIRC..both of those ideas came from Bush, and not Congress. Sure Congress had to OK them, but they still started with Bush. |

I thought we'd go back to talking about Hummers and boobs today? :confused: :( :( :( :(

You know, a couple of weeks ago I heard a friend of mine predict 18% unemployment within the next 2 years. :eek: Not if Obama was elected but because we don't have the infrastructure in our country to offer jobs to people that lose them in the financial industry. The strengthening dollar should help that some, but I was surprised to hear that needless to say. Who gets blamed for high unemployment if they can't help stimulate the economy? Usually the sitting President. I sure hope he was wrong. I'd like to see Obama change his constituants from takers, to doers. Maybe they can use him as an example of how you can change your life if you try hard enough instead of sitting back and waiting for a handout. You know we live in a Democracy, it's not the same as England, France or Canada. Personally, he lost my vote because he doesn't think showing respect for the Flag of our Country really matters that much and he couldn't even cast a vote Yes or No on hardly any legislation while he was in the Senate. Now that he's President-Elect, is he going to show us pride for the country that elected him? Will he actually take a stand and tell us what he's going to change, or just test the winds? It's time for him to lead. I'm afraid he doesn't know how. |

Maybe it won't be because Obama was elected, but his plans for the coal industry and his lack of plans for nuclear power sure won't help the employment situation. |

I just can't get the "Peggy the Moocher" mentality out of my mind. What a farce this has become. And the whole thing idea of "Everything Oprah touches upon becomes gold...", that they keep talking about, is nauseating. Don't get me started. :soapbox:

Re: Obama Wins!!!!!
The President surrounds himself with his "cabinet", forming the executive branch of our government. If Obama chooses his cabinet as carefully as he chose Biden as his VP, and they work well together, he will be able to handle any situation.
If McCain would have won, and some tradegy took his life, what would Palin do? More than likely "fly to the bright light"! The Republican party would have themselves another "puppet" and we'd have 4 more years of corporate corruption and war. So your saying that the problems our country faces today are due to those whom were in power 12 years ago? Get a Grip! Don't you mean 9 to 16 years ago? Of course you do, that would make everything the Democrates fault. |
