Tell me. If you make $60,000 per year, will you be able to afford a house that costs $250,000? People do it all the time. Yet, you're claiming that $60k per year isn't enough to afford a $120,000 house (your faulty figure) or even a $50,000 house (closer to actual debt).

WAKE UP! Take a math class. Take a history class.
We are spending in a deficit..fool..we have no money..forget GDP..our debt is projected with this insurance giveaway to be over 20 trillion dollars..get a clue

I'm 52. How old are you, sweetie? I'm a capitalist. What are you? A fascist? I'm independent. Are you a sheep?

Too, too funny. You got nothin'. Zip. Nada. What's it like being filled with such hatred? I'll feel sorry for you Sunday when I'm scooterin' over Sonora Pass. Good luck, sweetie. *hugs* *big KISS!*
If this isnt a good argument for rehab..I dont know what is..THIS IS YOUR BRAIN ON DRUGS...

Actually I think it is white guilt that makes some white people afraid of having a black president. They know how they have treated black people and they assume that all black people are just as mean and nasty as they have been. White people who haven't been guilty of being unfair and unkind toward black people aren't afraid of having a black president because they assume that just as good white people are fair to everyone so are good black people.

little wonder you're so confused. you somehow convinced yourself the OP is a republican, rather than a race-obsessed liberal..

I'm white and Obama's color is rarely on my radar. I might see him and think, "oh, he's black" but even then, its extremely rare, because I really don't care about it.

I can understand where whites are coming from in regard to that. I would say, why in the beginning would you bother voting for him if you feel that way. 1. I would say white guilt. 2. I would say it was cool and trendy to vote for Obama to prove you arn't racist, and 3. Wanted to see how whites would react with a non-white in office, a test of the white race.
can you also explain why everyone else is afraid of obama? polls are going down every day
