Is Obama America's expert on the economy? Is that why he's in position to be President?

Is McCain any better?

I have pretty much made my decision who I am going for next month--------barring a shattering revelation about either candidate between now and then.

a person who identifies himself / herself as a true fiscal conservative would not be voting for obama in the general election, especially if he / she examined their voting records at senate.gov, barring a shattering revelation about either candidate of course.

Of all the Democratic candidates, why did Obama get the nomination? Why not, say, Hillary who's more experienced than Obama? Why didn't certain celebrities such as Oprah support Hillary?

i agree with that statement. you cannot tax a tax base that is no longer there! we need to take care of the illegal immigration problem, which would result in higher wages across the board, as well as more jobs for american workers, with the added benefit of lower costs in the social programs, freeing up more money for americans to access social services when they need it.

Economically, neither candidate floats my boat. We need the money people making those decisions. I am more worried about the war ships heading for Venezuala right now and their getting cozy in my backyard that I am about the economy. I am not convinced that we need a dove just yet. But in regards to the border....again, neither candidate will do a darn thing about it. Get your emails ready to fire off.

Call me cynical here: if Mexico went Communist; knowing the Commies' propensity for closed/locked borders------------SOB may wind up doing us a huge favor.
