Your guy will do nothing, squat. It will be business as usual if McCain gets in there. He isn't going to do anything for the little guy. He will only fight to make the wealthy even more wealthy. Nothing, and I mean nothing, will change if he gets elected.

So, back to the original question, how will Obama fund all these without taxing anything and everything in sight?

Or do you not have an answer and will just reply with another random comment about Bush and McCain being the same?

He only says what he thinks will get him elected and unfortunately people only see a well spoken man instead of someone with no ideas, no qualifications and a socialist train of thought.

Lemmings turn around. You're almost to the cliff!

Economist describes Obama's campaigning well IMO. They endorsed Obama, but their article is very balanced, talks about Obama's "lack of executive experience; and the suspicion that he is too far to the left."

Quote:
There is no getting around the fact that Mr Obama’s résumé is thin for the world’s biggest job. But the exceptionally assured way in which he has run his campaign is a considerable comfort. It is not just that he has more than held his own against Mr McCain in the debates. A man who started with no money and few supporters has out-thought, out-organised and outfought the two mightiest machines in American politics—the Clintons and the conservative right.

Political fire, far from rattling Mr Obama, seems to bring out the best in him: the furore about his (admittedly ghastly) preacher prompted one of the most thoughtful speeches of the campaign. On the financial crisis his performance has been as assured as Mr McCain’s has been febrile. He seems a quick learner and has built up an impressive team of advisers, drawing in seasoned hands like Paul Volcker, Robert Rubin and Larry Summers. Of course, Mr Obama will make mistakes; but this is a man who listens, learns and manages well.
Quote:
In terms of painting a brighter future for America and the world, Mr Obama has produced the more compelling and detailed portrait. He has campaigned with more style, intelligence and discipline than his opponent. Whether he can fulfil his immense potential remains to be seen. But Mr Obama deserves the presidency.

I believe if you go to his website you can get a breakdown of his plans. I am not going to type them because it would be of no avail because you have your mind made up as I have mine made up. Your guy says what he thinks will get him elected. You are a lemming, too.

His website is the same propaganda. He CAN'T follow through on anything without raising taxes.

Good empty post though. Thanks for your time.

You mean like Bush did? With Daddy getting him into Yale where his grades were an average 77%-- working his butt off all right. Or how about Kerry who averaged 76%-- nose to the grindstone for sure. McCain? Finished 894 out of 899 at the Naval Academy.

It's called affirmative action for the rich. Daddy gets them into school, gets them a job, gets them set up in or out of the military. They start rich, they marry rich.

I went to Yale and let me tell you, the majority don't start small and work their tails off.

You want to talk about working your tail off? Try being a dockworker. Or working a double shift at the hospital cleaning the bedpans and puke. Try driving a truck for a living.

Yeah. Let's all vote for McCain and keep tax cuts for the privileged, elite, born-with-a-silver spoon in their mouths "hard workers," while the truckers, nurses and dockworkers bail out their Wall Street banks. After all, we wouldn't want them to miss a dividend payment.

Kev, where's the response to my rebuttal? You insult people for not offering you a rebuttal, but when you get one, you ignore it. Hmmmm.....

WHat rebuttal? McCain's is running the campaign with back stabbing, name calling and blame passing..They're trouting out charactures like Joe the Plumber and Tito the Builder..They can't even screen calls properly for their moronic VP pick..

You should try and avoid "issues" just like the McCain campaign..Stick with smear tactics and fear mongering.

I love when you guys type up these witless, inane posts and then act surprised when your responses are about the same.

Ask a stupid question....
