This is the "Entitlement Generation" at work, thats all. They think:

The government should do it for me.
I am owed something by everyone.
I am here to provide a service IF you pay me enough. You want me to work harder for the greater good, pay me more!

Obama hasn't so much run a campaign as he has ran a promotion. Except, this idiot "rock star" is going to run our country.

I wonder who Jerry Springer and Oprah endorsed?

By the way, deathhasnosound, you have not answered this question;

I wish she was excited about help from the government to further her education so she can get a better job

What evidence do you have she is not?

Obviously, what one person thinks, is precisely that. What one person thinks. Nothing to see here

I really despise how supporters of either candidate are portrayed. EVERYONE has their own views, opinions, and no two people are alike in thinking. People need to stop categorizing liberals and conservatives as all being or thinking a certain way.

I know conservatives arent all redneck hicks. And I know all liberals are flower toting hippies.

We are all just people with different opinions, and some opinions are stronger than others.

hah I meant liberals arent* all flower toting hippies

That my dear, was a freudian slip!

She said

"I never thought this day would happen"
"I won't have to worry about putting gas in my car"
"I won't have to worry about paying my mortgage"
"If I help him he's gonna help me"

This sounds like someone who just won the lottery or perhaps just someone who just found god/jesus.

Or is it possible... just possible she's thinking she won't have to worry about these things because in an Obama administration she just might be able to get a decent job that pays a decent wage and she'll be able to do those things because the hard work she has put in for the last 20 years will finally begin to pay her back a little?

Now that's FUNNY!

IF you even begin to believe that a President can "create" jobs without creating a huge tax burden then you need to stop smoking crack.

IF you even believe that jobs will be created when the economy is slowly spiraling down the toilet then you need to stop smoking crack.


Obama has done the same campaign as George W. Bush in 2000, said nothing concrete, given vague promises, and been suckering in the folks.

This is about an ocean of ignorant people who believe that government should save them from the stupid decisions they have made in the past.

Let me translate that:
The people who have made smart decisions, and acted responsibly, not spending everything they make, should now be punished for being wise by "redistributing the wealth" they have earned and give it to those who made very ignorant decisions and did spend everything they have.

That is why democrats are despised by the most productive and wisest people in the country.


AND PLEASE NOTE: I did not say republicans=wise because the current politicians calling themselves republicans, don't give a hoot about preserving the strength of the republic of states and they certainly don't conserve the constitution or fiscal responsibility, as any descent conservative should.

Fair enough, but the point I was trying to make was that she (the woman in the video) did not say she expected her bills to be paid by the government.

She didn't say a word about welfare.

So, what puzzles me is why anyone is assuming that is what she meant.

You could just as easily assume she meant that under Obama, the middle class will get tax breaks, the price of gas will be more reasonable, and he will do something about the mortgage crisis, thereby taking away from the worry of wondering where we're all [edit-she's] going to get the money to pay our [edit-her] bills.
