I found Obama to be both inspirational and charismatic. Gov. Richardson (NM) stated "he is a good and decent man" and I echo his sentiments wholeheartedly. I have never been very political prior to this election but I truly believe an Obama presidency will bring the change we need.

...and if Obama has his way, those who have, won't.

I completely agree. Not everyone having money issues is there because of jobs going overseas, etc.

Not bashing McCain will very likely give him huge points. People are sick of the bashing on either side.

SO much better than the other side,who has done nothing but stir up hatred,fear & division in their campaign. Finally after 8 long years,we have some hope for the future, & I for one am DONE letting the fear-mongering,hate-spewing republicans get to me. Time to look to the future!!
I agree. What McCain and his minions don't seem to realize is that the vast majority of Americans are weary to death of the Rovian neo con politics of division. They can mock him for it all they want but Obama's message of unity is winning the hearts and votes of Americans.

How is it expected for people to put up any savings when living from paycheck to paycheck still has them coming up short for the week?

The people below middle class can't get a cent to save because their groceries have nearly doubled in price.... home heating (taxes & fees) causing additional increases.

Yep, I just left there so I missed the messiahs message, 4 NY strips, 2 1/2 lbs large shrimp platter (football Sunday) gal milk, ice cream, pork shoulder, canned goods, beef gravy, cheese, 12 pot pies, a peach cobbler, 2 bxs cereal, and a little this and little that -21.00 for MVP card $61.94 and that's at least 4 dinners for four and one day of leftovers. I'm not too proud to buy dented cans, if one buys SMART they can save. The same "smart" can apply to almost everything, the "new" curly que light bulbs have saved me about 25% on my electric bill and at 4 bucks a gallon of oil I use almost none anymore except for taking a hot shower or bath.
