Ah, Liberalism.

Many of us are already succeeding here.
Blaming your failures on a president, or waiting for a new president to turn your failures into success, just isn't the answer.

If you open your eyes and you don't see success all around you, don't look at your government. Look in your mirror. That's where you will find the person who did you wrong.

I SO agree! Why people think that the person elected president is some how going to "save" them from what ever hardships are in their lives, just amazes me. The person becomes the president of the US, that really only means that he becomes a figure head, it is those behind the scenes, such as congress that can actually do anything.
However some must believe that the president can make a HUGE difference.
Look around at what is going on. Bush has been in office the past almost 8 years, for the first 6 and half years or so, things were going pretty well at home, even though we keep a nervous eye on the war but once the candidates were picked, polls started coming in, economy took a HUGE nose dive.....correlation?
One thing I have found interesting and no one else seems to have commented on: Anyone else notice that the further ahead in the "polls" (I have no faith in them that is why it is in quotes) Obama gets, the worse the economy becomes? People are pulling money out of wall street faster and faster....correlation?
Seriously, take away what main stream media says, look at the over all picture of what has happened in the past 8 months in the political and economical world and the polls, correlation?

I think that title would be closer to the task at hand if it read "The final week TO SAVE America"

It's 2 months and 1 week of freedom to go for all of US. After this, you will have all kinds of OBLIGATIONS under OBAMA. It's the patriotic thing to do to follow your OBLIGATIONS because you have practically given up your freedom with OBAMA.

this is very good.there is much at stake in this election. GOP/DOD is making it too easy. i suspect tampering with the voting machines comin up soon. DOD stands to lose billions in contacts if we leave bagdad, i think they are going to play another card soon.
