I don't usually post in the politics forums, but I felt there is a need for me to do so.
I find it hard to believe that a lot of Americans actually think Obama is the answer to the problems of our nation. In the almost two years of the Senate and House controlled by people like Pelosi and Reid, look at what happened, but with Obama in the White House, expect the end of the United States as we know it. I'm not very impressed with McCain either, but he's still a much better choice.
Maybe this will reveal things about Obama you may not have known.
I don't think people consider Obama the asnwer to all problems.. I just think they have had enough of the crazy rediculous republican politics of the past 8 years and are coming to the conclusion that Obama is 1. a better choice than Mccain, and 2. the complete opposite of George Bush. Either would be a better choice but 4 years ago the opportunity to be rid of a republican white house was lost... I don't think it will happen this time.
i understand that you are from england and do not understand american politics, but the truth of the matter is that the last 2 years we have been under a democratic house and senate, which is where the power lies in our country. here is another bit of information for you in that bush will be leaving no matter what happens! obama is trying to run against bush and he is 4 years too late for that!
That's not going to happen. Far to many people now feel that government is good, government tells them what they need to do, holds their hand so they don't make mistakes, and when they end up making mistakes tells them it's okay, here let us fix it for you.
The era of personal accountability is over, only being practiced by a few of us who are left to shake our heads and wonder what happened.
I'm tired of the deficit going up up up. The last two years didn't force the deficit up this high. If Wall st was running away with all this money for all these years why didn't this administration say wait a minute why are these guys getting so rich and the gov't is getting so poor. Then we bail them out with MY money. I've had enough of the BS
I'm tired of the GOP lies and scare tactics. McCain voted for the Iraq war. If he was such a Maverick why didn't he put the breaks on and tell the president and the GOP congress wait we need to be focusing on Afghanistan and BinLaden not Iraq. Saddam can wait a few more years.
I'm tired of hearing about our gov't spying on us. Eagle eye doesn't seem so far fetched.
And the notion that Bush kept me safe for all these years is BULL. I was safe for eight years prior to him being President.
Obama isn' THEE answer but I'm fed up with anything that Relates to this Administration.

Apparently not. He is running on that platform and seems to be winning. The American people see McCain as another Bush so why not "run against him"?

i totally agree that bush has been a disaster but this is where people make their mistake. it can get worse and obama will show you just how bad our economy could get! when you have a depressed economy, you do not spend more money and you do not tax people more! both are acts which take away money from the average person! in tough times, we need all the cash we can get our hands on because there is no bailout waiting for the taxpayer!
i also urge you to google pam martens and the obama bailout and see how obama arranged this bailout for his wall street cronies. she is a wall street reporter with no personal ax to grind but just reporting the facts as she did in march of this year, before the bailout even happened! this was a bailout of wall street orchestrated by wall street's own treasury secretary, mr. paulson, and barack obama as their choice for presidential candidate. there are more articles in follow up available also.
i understand that you are from england and do not understand american politics...
I think that's presumptuous.
