Ok. January, when he took office. You cant fix 8 years of problems in ONE year, let alone one month.

Even if McCain had been President, we'd most likely be going through the same right now, maybe even worse with no stimulus bill. I know I'd most likely not have a job, since NYC education wouldn't have gotten the money to save 15,000 teaching jobs.

Hey, I actually agree with someone from Texas for once??? lol
I actually agree with you as well. This started long before Obama took office, and at least he is spending money on important things (like education), rather than a pointless war (which has cost over $650 billion).

Don't you have an MBA NYC1DAY?

Because of the economy the 52 story Elm Place tower in Dallas is in foreclosure.Built in 1965 as the First National Bank tower, the 1.3 million-square-foot black glass and white marble building was once the tallest skyscraper west of the Mississippi River 1965 to 1971.




1965


Today (can you see it)

imo, both of them are stupid. it is just that mccain is a little smarter than obama
Actually Obama may be just as smart as McCain, if not smarter. Now Sarah Palin on the other hand is, well, uhm, is attractive.

overall, basically the reason why i dont like democrats is because they want to tax the middle class large amounts.

You and your fiancee are both teachers, which is a middle class salary. Both of you worked for what you have. Both of you went to school and are trying to contribute to your communities and society by giving back and being teachers.

i dont think that someone who is middle class and who has worked for what they have in life should have be taxed more money to give to a person in the ghetto that can not spell their name.

It is sort of like this country is getting to this point..... why try to be successful because everything that i make is just going to be given to a poor person. I am a person that believes what i make should be mine. And what another person makes should be theirs

EX) My father is retired, but picked up a part time job. He made 12,000 dollars last year at the part time job and out of that he was left with 7,000. 5,000 went to taxes. Why? Because the government says that he makes too much money.

I was just using that as a example.

no, it is not a big deal at all. we would get along just fine if we met in person

i have my views on politics and i realize that everyone else does too.

the problem happens with me is that everyone tries to put their opinions off onto others in person and that is when things with me get heated.

Do you remember the "where do you go to church question" asked at random. The same goes here with politics
