Thus I feel comfortable in saying I support the effort to help others since I have mine and am set for life.

I am able to be online a lot as I have worked hard and secured my future and my children are doing well securing theirs. I unlike you am secure enough to wish and help others to do as well. That is how we differ both in our walk and our talk.
Now catch your flight and enjoy.
Sure would like to keep going back and forth with you but I never found that to be much fun. And you are not old enough to be my dad, plus my dad does not see what people see in Obama. And remember, you never lose money in investments until you sell.

Enjoy your retirement and your nice home, and I do give a lot of money to the less fortunate. But I would rather give to whom I choose, not who the government chooses. And like the liberals use to say in there early days "Peace"

To be honest I at one point in the Spring shared your sentiment. This time last year I was a McCain supporter and critical of Obama and his economics. However for many reasons I have changed and our future security is at risk and we as a nation need to change. At one point I posted on here Obama keep your hands out of my pocket by time and events are changing and McCain is a mere skeleton of what he once was.

Yes, it confirms Willy Horton should have been executed. Now just what do you think the anti American terrorist sympathizer will do with the Willys of the world?

The Carter years are still fresh in my mind and I see too many simularities in Obama and Carter and what the country was going through then.

I deal with a lot of salesman in my buisness and Obama reminds me of a good salesman. And I am running a buisness now and if my taxes were cut I would expand and hire more people. I get a real enjoyment out of hiring someone who is having hard times and watch them prosper.

And being a retired alcholic there is nothing worse then an enabler. And that is what the government tends to do. People need to help themselves, noone else can do it for you. And we all know if someone just hands you something instead of earning it, you don't appreciate it as much and you just want more.

Send them to your neighborhood.
They could buy the unsold home down the street.
Help coach your kids youth teams, they probably are always asking for volunteers.
Chat with you at the mail box
Help with lunch duty at the local elementary school
Help the wife carry grocery bags in the house if you aren't home.

I am sure he will find lots of good things for them to do that will help them and help you.

Well if Willy Horton ever saw the light of day this might be the last place he would want to seek refuge. Ain't that right Yo?

I was there. It was amazing. SO MANY PEOPLE. Obama gave a good speech, but what was more amazing was the total sense of complete community among the huge, diverse crowd that showed up. It was a fun day, indeed.
