    Maybe people see the bigger picture:

    1. Americas standing in the world ....zero

    2. The mighty dollar.... worthless.

    3. April 2003... Mission Accomplished ! Oh really !

    4. Tens of millions of American citizens with no health cover... and the cats get fatter !

    5. Global warming .... it don't exist according to the Republicans and their friends.

    6. Hows about you intervene in Zimbabwe ( how many of you know where it is ?) No wmd, no oil, millions dying.

    STAND UP AMERICA, WHEN I WAS A KID YOU WERE MY HEROES !

    I'm old enough to remember elections form the 1970's and I can tell you that every candidate says they are not going to raise taxes or that they are going to cut taxes. The problem is neither candidate truly knows what it is to be president. It's a new job. Just like if any of us get a new job, we may know a few things about the job, but until we do the job on a daily basis, we really don't know what it all entails. Once they get into office, they ALL end up raising taxes. So I wouldn't rag on Obama or McCain that much because whoever gets elected will raise your taxes at some point.

    There is no evidence that Obama will spend on his programs any more than McCainn will spend on his. However, there is evidence that Obama's programs will benefit common people who are making less than $250,000 per year. McCain's programs will primarily benefit big corporations such as oil companies and the banks that brought us this financial crisis. McCain's programs and tax cuts will of course benefit you if you are making over $250,000 per year.

    He is going to take all the money from the people who studied, and worked hard, went to college and were very prosperous in their life, and give it to all the people who quit school and sat on the couch all their life until they're parent's money ran out and then they became very poor and they don't have health care. Obama is lying about the taxes. He just wants people to vote for him.

    Oh and btw Obama is trying to make people feel sorry for him because his mom died of cancer when he was little. Come-on! Mcain was held prisoner for 5 years and he got the crap beaten out of him-for 5 years! EVERY SINGLE DAY OF THOSE 5 YEARS! THAT is why he can't send an e-mail. Not because he is out of touch...

    How can he have over a trillion dollars of new spending and cut taxes for everyone? Yes, yes, I'd like to know that too. Problematically, hes probably just a liar.

    He can't. In addition, Obama wants to give small tax breaks to those who create no wealth and no jobs, while raising the taxes on those who do. A clear recipe for failure.

    Amazing that so many college kids think they are educated, yet they support Obama like a bunch of mindless sheep drifting aimlessly. Obviously, education in real life is the best and highest quality education for those willing to watch, listen, and learn.

    Those who have acquired any degree of wisdom in their life understand that Obama is BAD for America.

    We can only hope that the light will continue to shine in all the dark corners, until everyone can see the empty suit and his empty promises for what they are, empty words.
