I have been crying for eight years, so I know how you must feel. As all congressman have voted to put our country on the skids, we can blame no
one more than ourselves. We fell for their lies and they got our vote, those fine white men in those expensive business suits. Socialism reared again
when those men approved the hugh bailout for the banks.
Our country has suffered under these banksters, hedgefunders, insurers, congress and the leaders in white house.
I will give Obama a chance. So should you.
I will now leave this group. I used to think you were a group of fact seeking, opened-minded and intelligent people. I guess I was wrong.
Anyone feel good about this? What does this mean for us?, page 4

Well, if you're looking for some good news - if you believe the Bible - we will one day have the end-times! How's that? Much better, right?
Maybe we can get lucky and only have two years of this turd.
And I love that avatar!

The argument of 'taking away rights' always makes me giggle. Almost as much as the whole 'tax and spend' myth. Lets examine those shall we?
To start, this bailout plan was hatched by bush and poulson who then tried to ramrod through congress. It failed the first time. Then the republicans added another 150 bil in tax benefits to their buddies. How is this a demo bailout?
Otherwise, take a look at the deficits of the last presidents. The following is a comic, but it sums it nicely:
Conservative
Otherwise:
The Repubs are always afraid of guns to 'protect their rights' while they are in fact supporting the party that strips rights away. Look at the Patriot Act, suspension of Habeas Corpus-That one the frightening one.
Yet, all people can squeal about is whether they can purchase an Uzi. While typing this how many people were killed or wounded because of your parties grab for more oil? You know, your parties pursuit of the american dream at the cost of everything else.
The Cons claim to be the party of freedom and liberty, yet legislate amendments to make it so two adults can't share insurance or visit each other in the hospital.
I dont understand how anyone could be worried about any damage being done to our nation after the last 8 years. Elmer Fudd smoking crack while fingering the 'big red button' couldn't make things worse than they have been.

im quite aware of that however if one leader a blackman!!!no less makes big positive changes in his country then just maybe it will have a knock on effect and the world will wake up & say enough is enough you are our goverment & you are meant to listen to us,surely you can see where im coming from?
But it is true we do have more than enough the world needs to be rebalanced, how come we in the west can go into a shop & choose from say 20 different types of breakfast cerial yet in another part of our world they cant even get hold of 1 grain, just perhaps its time to see that & stop complaining because we have to do without something that we are being so selfish about, come on i love my vehicle like any other but if it meant the difference between,my friends children having a planet to live on or not then i wouldn't grumble,if i had to give it up.if i have to take less of a few things so that the balance can be readjusted then really does it matter that much, i guess you have never really had nothing?sorry its not a dig at you but surely we all need to look at the big picture before there aint one to look at?

No, but I can point you to where it says we have the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
In America it is not the job of the government to tell people how to run their lives. The reason why the corporations have so much money is because they government went and got involved in the market.
Adam Smith said that when the government gets involved in the market capitalism will no longer exist and that is exactly what has happened.
If it wasn't for government intervention then the people with a new idea would have been able to build from the bottom up and put the corporations out of business because the guy with the idea or invention would have been able to build a corporation himself.

It doesn't seem like your getting the big picture. You either missed it or completely ignored it.
We send billions of dollars of aid to these countries every year. The problem in those countries is the government.
Their governments are run by evil dictators that take the money and food and keep it for themselves and sell it to the people that can afford it. You sacrificing things in your life to help these countries out are only making the dictators and their friends richer.
Those people don't chose to live that way they live that way because they have no choice. The only way your going to improve those peoples lives is if you assemble a massive army of a few million and invade them and over throw their government. That is the only way you are going to help those people.

I would love to agree with that, but facts show otherwise. Aside from you not being able to show me that quote in the Constitution (its in the Declaration of Independance). There is the fact that vote after vote says that only select people get that anyway. I agree the Gov shouldnt be involved in the market (those business should have failed not been bailed out) or mandating religious ceremony (Marriage is a religious institution, by banning it it infringes on the freedom of religion of those who's religion says its OK).
I am not really certain of your last paragraph though... (relevance).

Dude, seriously. drama much? a massive army is not the only answer. How about if someone feels something in their heart that urges them to help these people, sacrifice personally by going over there or supporting someone who will go over there to teach them how to be self sufficient.
There are other answers to these things than just aggression. Teach the people how to be self sufficient and their confidence will grow. This is how all successful revolutions against corruptions have begun.
I do see your point about the financial aspect you brought to the table, but ya know.. the greed of these people could be their downfall if more ppl would wise up and learn to appreciate the basic things that are free and how to be self sufficient. I am finding myself less and less concerned with $$ because of all the divisions it is causing around me.

The kind of people he attracts such as, Bill Ayers, Louis Farrakhan, Rev. Wright, Khailid, the communist party of the USA, the socialist party of the USA, Tony Rezko, The endorsment of Hamas, Hugo Chavez, Castro, Kim Jong IL. Those kind of people?
Or how about his past record for example spent 160 million dollars to improve the schools and nothing got improved. Or lets take a look at his past record and see how that matches up with his rhetoric.
There is absolutely no proof that he is going to do what the people ask him to do. In fact I remember he said he was going to vote against and filibuster the FISA bill he voted yes without so much a peep, then went and called the people that are mad at him for it "egotistical." Or how bout the recent bailout bill which over 80% of us didn't agree with.
And, yes it can get a lot worse a whole lot worse. That is fine those people voted for him and they got what they wanted. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt and wish him well, but I don't expect for him to even do 5% of what he has promised all those people.
Let's not even get started on Iraq. There is so much going on over there unless you are there and see it for yourself there is no way to get a straight answer. And if the politicians would have stayed out of it we would have been out in no more than a year.

Urge those people to do what, fight men armed with AK-47's? You forget that these people are oppressed, they are not allowed to gain the upper hand. They are not allowed the most basic thing in life which is food. Their governments micro manage their lives.
I feel bad for those people I really do, but nothing short of an army to over throw the government is going to help their situation.
It's funny as how you say do I "drama much" when that is what the current state of the world.
Obama is not going to magically come into office and solve all the worlds ills.
