Poor people: Has your life improved since Obama was elected?
We have all seen the videos of poor people crying and holding their hands up in the air during Obama's election night speech, and his inauguration speech. Most of us knew that Obama wouldn't do a darn thing to help you get out of your poor living conditions. You maintained your tunnel vision and assumed your status in society would improve the moment Obama set foot in the White House. Now that you still have no money, no education, no hope, and most importantly, no change [literally and figuratively], how do you perceive what has transpired here so far???
9 AnswersPolitics1 decade agoDid you vote for Obama? Do you regret it?
Just wondering how many people who voted for Obama are now realizing what people were shouting about him before the election. For example how did he get Tim Geithner, a tax fraud, to get approved to run the IRS!!!???? The Treasury Secretary is a tax fraud. That's Obama in a nutshell. The man is a criminal, and the sooner he is fully exposed the better.
18 AnswersPolitics1 decade agoDo houses with lawns exist in the Middle East?
I am fascinated with differences between life in the USA, and life in the rest of the world. Right now, i'm trying to find out if suburban neighborhoods full of houses and lawns exist outside of North America/Europe. Especially interested in what kind of houses middle class families have in the middle east.

11 AnswersGarden & Landscape1 decade agoDoes Obama think he's fooling anyone when he "thanks" veterans for their service?
When Obama thanks veterans for their service at debates and speeches, it comes across as so phony and so superficial it's not even funny. He's a disgrace. McCain walks over, shakes their hand and pats them on the shoulder. He makes a real connection. Obama just points to them and mumbles uh yeah, thanks for your service of course.....so insincere it makes me puke. His little girls are safe because of our veterans. He should get a clue.
9 AnswersMilitary1 decade agoHow many months will it take before the media turns on Obama??
The media is in the tank now, but I suspect that most of the people who will vote for Obama will not approve of his performance when they realize they still don't have any money or success and will spend 3 years complaining about him, including the media. It's almost TOO predictable...
9 AnswersElections1 decade agoWhen McCain is inaugurated, should he appoint Obama Head of the Dept of Welfare?
It would show good sportsmanship.
35 AnswersPolitics1 decade agoWho are you voting for? ?

McCain/Obama/Neither
My answer: McCain
5 AnswersPolitics1 decade agoDo you think Obama tries to sound like a preacher on purpose? ?
If you look up interviews and other speeches before this campaign, he doesn't have that accent or those trademark inflections, or tones. Does he really believe that he is the torchkeeper for MLK??
4 AnswersElections1 decade agoIs factcheck.org another liberal mouthpiece?
After weeks of liberal media outlets rabidly pointing to factcheck.org in response to Republican statements, I began to wonder if factcheck.org itself needs to be fact-checked. It seems that for every fact check they do for McCain, they do 40 for Obama. It's so obvious it's almost funny.
24 AnswersPolitics1 decade agoWhy won't Obama help his poor half-brother?
His half-brother is very poor, and only makes 1 dollar per month.
If Obama is so eager to lift up the poor and broken, why hasn't he helped this relative of his?
11 AnswersPolitics1 decade agoAre you taking election day off to closely watch what happens? ?
I am. I am fired up and ready to watch the painful truth come riding down the pike for the Obama train.
14 AnswersElections1 decade agoCan I transfer Windows Server 2003 license to new server?
I want to replace my server. I paid over $700 dollars for my copy of Server 2003 though, so I'd like to use it on the new server. I will be wiping the disks on the old server and selling it. Is there any way I can avoid buying another copy of Windows server 2003 for $700 dollars again? [Using Linux instead is not the answer I am looking for...Windows required]
4 AnswersComputer Networking1 decade agoWhy do people try to sound sophisticated by saying "clientele"?
When people talk about work I always get embarrassed for them when they talk about clientele. HELLO! They're just customers. If you are super special, you can call them clients. But clientele? WTF? What kind of word is that? Totally sounds like a word to make the speaker sound more elite or sophisticated ...
Really irks me.

2 AnswersBaseball1 decade agoAre you a good boss?
I have never been anyone's boss, and throughout life I have liked very few of my bosses. Are you disliked by your staff? Why? Do you care? Are you really as bad as people think? What do you have to say about it? Have you forgotten what it's like to be controlled completely by someone else? Are you as good as you think you are? Did you get a lucky break or did you earn it? Honest answers please.
4 AnswersOther - Careers & Employment1 decade agoDoes everything really have an ecological purpose?
It's hard to believe that everything has a purpose. For example why certain trees have a fragrance. Pine trees for example smell really great, but for what purpose? Is anything beneficial attracted to this fragrance? Are there pests which don't like this fragrance?
What is the ecological purpose of grass? Wouldn't wildlife survive without grass? How about Poison Ivy or any weed for that matter. We can get rid of lots of things and not notice any drawbacks or so it seems.
4 AnswersBotany1 decade agoApple iLogic?
Is Apple going to release iLogic soon? What's iLogic? It's the logic replacement plug-in for your brain so that you will believe the Apple propoganda automatically in the future without question.
Assume for a minute that people were PCs and manicans were Macs. If you ran iLogic you could say that the manican is a better choice of coworker and friend because manicans don't get viruses or get sick. The actual person who has much more dynamic range as a sentient being is not preferred because they can get viruses and get sick.
Without iLogic from Apple anyone can plainly see that the actual person is a better coworker and friend even though they may get sick from time to time. As long as they wear their jacket and eat their veggies, they shouldn't get sick too often anyway.
iLogic allows people who want to be cool to justify having manicans instead of real people as coworkers and friends. Hey, the manicans come in black and white, but the black will cost extra.
iLogic from Apple: ??
1 AnswerOther - Computers1 decade agoA lot of Mac evangelists now support running Windows with bootcamp?
Before the Intel switch, the Mac VS PC war was strong. Mac fans blasted PCs as lame sick feeble machines (total bs). They praised OSX as if it were the 11th commandment.
Now all of a sudden Mac fans suggest that if someone wants a new laptop running Windows, "just get a Mac and run bootcamp!"
This is strange. Now it almost seems acceptable to Mac fans to run Windows because running Windows on a Mac is considered a feature and a selling point. What happened to all the Windows is evil and terrible preaching?
Are Mac fans so desperate to convert anyone and everyone who will listen that they will settle on converting people just to the hardware platform, and forfeit the software battle? People love to find other people who like what they like because it validates them.
