Obama isn't going to change anything! What he will do is raise our taxes-not just the high rollers but us middle income taxpayers too. He has to increase taxes so he can spend our tax money on his liberal government give away programs. AND GET THIS by the time congress begins tacking on spending appropriations Obama's programs will be another super expensive economic boondoggle. We'll have to dip into our pockets again and again to pay!

This recent drop in the stock market is very telling of what investors think about Barack Hussein Obama Junior. Investors obviously believe the election Of B.H. Obama Junior will result in hard times for us all.

You said: More preposterous nonsense ignoring the obvious failures of the Bush administration-- BLAH-BLAH-BLAH-BLAH-BLAH-- How dare you try to associate this with Obama's presidency.

Um, show me where I tied to associate Bush's failures with the Black Prince?
I would give you a rep but it wont let me!

This congress is a disaster and we gave them a chance and they have failed us.

We need to get them out as fast as we can. Look at their record, they have ruined our economy.

Could you imagine these idiots and Obama together, talk about wrecking a country.

We cannot let them destroy us any longer, they have failed us in the the time they have had control, time to impeach the dirty scumbags.
Invrestors see him ruining companies that have large payrolls and a large amount of employees, thus laid off workers cannot invest.

Prince Barry Hussein NObama Jr, Jr. is a economic train wreck and they know it.

Lesson learned: Never let a dem control your money.

Default Obama's truly diverse America; all in one neat-package!

The fact that Barak Obama says that he was never a Muslim, notwithstanding, being born to a member of the Muslim faith, by Islamic Law, made him a Muslim at birth. There is nothing wrong with being a Muslim unless one is out of control (and that is true to members of all other religions.)

There is nothing in the United States Constitution to keep a Muslim from becoming President of the United States, suggesting that the Muslim-born, practicing Christian that Obama is, can legally become the President of the United States. Additionally, his first name, Barak*, means lightning in Hebrew; the "Jewish connection" causes Senator Obama to represent most Momotheist religions.

Senator Obama is also half African American, and half Caucasian, with that makeup, the good Senator covers nearly all elements of society.

Now, if Senator Obama was only bi-sexual, or selected a qualified Lesbian Latino as his running mate, the United States would indeed live up to its desired image of being a truly all inclusive society.


* Senator Obama, in front of Jewish audeinces, on several occasions suggested that the name Barak was meant to be Baruch, which is the Hebrew for Blessed; that seems somewhat far fetched even though it may reenforce Obama's Jewish connection.

During the Wolf Blitzer interview Socialist Presumptive nominee Obama Junior once again made reference by saying ". . . this recession we are currently in"

A recession is defined as 6 consecutive months of negative growth in the GDP. So far we have only had 4 months. When Socialist Obama Junior made the statement to Blitzer it had been less than 3.

Obama don't know jack sheet about economics.

John McCain ADMITTED he has no clue about economics so lets get straight who doesn't know "jack". Here is Grampie McCain's quote....

"The issue of economics is not something I've understood as well as I should," McCain told the Boston Globe late last year. He said that in choosing a vice president he'd look for a person with economic experience to compensate for his own shortcomings. "I'm going to be honest," he told Stephen Moore of the Wall Street Journal three years ago. "I know a lot less about economics than I do about military and foreign policy issues. I still need to be educated." McCain has since tried, implausibly, to disavow all these statements, protesting that his knowledge of economics is perfectly sufficient for a president. But the zigs and zags of his 25-year career as a congressman and senator suggest that, when he said he didn't know much about economic policy, he was giving us some of that bracing straight talk.

Hillarious and true! Thanks for the laugh.
Ok, let's see

Obama-all things to all people
1. Prince Barack Hussein Obama Junior is black or He's white

2. He's Muslim, He's Christian, He's Jewish

3. He's for immediate withdrfawal, He believes we will have a continued presence in Iraq for an indeterminate period.

4. He's for raising taxes on middle and upper incomes, He's for a tax cut for lower income people that pay little or no taxes and most already get a refund.

5. He's for aborting unwanted babies and abortion as a means of birth control (and the US Government paying for it!), He's for increasing welfare for illegal alien children.

My eyes burn!

So taxing the poor who can already barely support themselves is a better policy than taxing the rich who can afford to take the hit?

Lets see... tax the 30k a year person for 20% = 6k revenue
tax the 600k a year person for 1% = 6k revenue



What sounds better to you:
Looks like you have to be evicted from your apartment because you can't pay your rent and feed your children, sorry.
I'm sorry sir, you can only get the 63 foot yacht, not the 65 foot one.

For those supposed economics experts out there, go back to your textbooks and look at marginal utility functions.

Follow along. Attention Deficit Disorder can be cured or controlled with proper medication. Talk to your doctor about it.

Wealthy Americans already pay nearly double the percentage of their earnings in taxes than the rest of us. They will continue to bear that burden even more as taxes rise.

Isn't it discrimination to punish success with a "penalty tax" for working hard and making money honestly?

Both parties say they will raise taxes on the people with the highest incomes. I'm not in that group. I feel very confident in saying that you aren't either.

I'm just concerned that if you punish part of the population for their success with a heavy tax burden that yopu might remove any incintive to succeed. Why should you go out and bust your butt working hard to make a lot of money if the government is going to take most of it away?

I know that with ADD you probably haven't been able to read this far. However I will go on in answer to your "question".

No one is going to raise taxes on the poor. That's absurd. Not even Prince Obama could get away with that. Prince Obama does say he will give the lower income people a tax break. But remember most of the lower income people pay no taxes anyway. THEY GET F'n REFUNDS! So what does Prionce Obama really mean? He means "free money" (big refunds) for the poor. That also includes the lazy bassarts that don't or won't work and who commit welfare fraud!

Which brings me back to the matter of scale. Welfare fraud to get a few thousand dollars compared to the rich guys committing tax fraud for millions.

To make the discussion practical and not just academic, look at the only (viable - Nader IS running after all) other option. McCain making the Bush tax cuts permanent?

The IRS will go after the rich guys committing fraud--and they are pretty good at catching them too!

Nader- HA!, McCain HA!, Prince Obama HA! Bob Barr-HA!

Where is a real Candidate? All of the above will cave in to lobbyists, special interests, become puppets of the Washington establishment and/or Wall Street. Add to that Obama's "Chicago gang" Communist backers and McCain's Angry temperment....it's a F'n mess!

Our key indices show a deepening slide which may be briefly skewed by a false sense of euphoria over the change in political administration. . . Investors seem cautious about Mr. Obama. His proposals to increase taxes on corporate America may well drive all but the most fearless out of the market. . . . We stand by our earlier position of a weakening market with inflating prices well into the second quarter of 2009."
Meh, seems like the typical stereotypical nonsense...
