Even with a company pension, how is Obama going to help him?

It was his money to spend, and while you might not have liked what he said, but plenty of people did enjoy & appreciate what the candidate had to say.

Yes, But I imagine you cried for joy when you heard McCain going around saying, "I want to make everyone wealthy." Too bad those are the words that con artists love to use.

This kind of emotional garbage sounds like what people voting for Hitler said in the 1930's.

And if dcadca had said "as a Jew..." or "as a Muslim" or "as an Athiest" would you have another ridiculous follow-up?

But you know what? They never learned to manage money in all their life. They never saved even part of what they earned and to this day they waste more moneythan I can figure out where it goes.

Sad huh? You see, to most sad stories there is a back story. Something you don't see, something that usually relates to personal accountability. But BO isn't interested in that part of the story.

well did you ever think that perhaps they would have a bunch more money if they weren't buying you all those christmas presents, or all your kids (their grandkids) presents, gifts, paying for things,
I don't discount money management, but that has NOTHING to do with someone's pension, or medical expenses.
I hope for your sake.. that you don't have to put your foot in your mouth when you are old enough to retire.. and I hope you are a millionaire... but I hope you aren't a millionaire by not taking care of a family, grandkids, and all the other expenses that arise when you are grandma and grandpa...
I don't know if you have an analytical mind... or if you're just a jerk... or both...but just think about everything before you come to a conclusion...
your perception of others is exactly that.. a perception.. its not fact.. and you might just be surprised how much money was spent on what.. and if it is your parents.. it could be very well on something for YOU or YOUR kids benefit....

I can not nor would I presume to know what Jesus would approve of, I know what I as a Christian am willing to accept and Obama in that Church for 20 years is not something I can accept.

I think it was great over all.

On the other hand, Obama presented issues and plans to resolve them, for 30-minutes straight, without once negatively representing his opposition.

Yep. I already knew where I stood policy-wise, so I really just wanted to see if he could pull off the whole 1/2 hour focusing JUST on what HE is going to do. There is NO way McCain would have or could have done that. That's why he is not getting my vote.

I would have watched McCain as well. It says a lot about a person when you'd rather firmly shove your head up your behind then hear your opposition out. But I guess she needs to stay where she's comfortable...at least it's warm in there!
