This is exactly why many people voted for Obama. They took a look at the McCain/Palin ticket, wanted them as far away from the whitehouse as possible, and voted for the other guy.
And what an obvious mistake.
Look, we all know that corruption exists in many of our seasoned politicians on either side of the fence. This fact is NOT however tied to their knowledge and experience in doing their job.
Its like pro-athletes. Sure, more than a few take steriods... but that doesn't necessarily mean they are not good athletes without them. So what did we do last election? We picked up a promising triple A player and expected him to carry the team to the World Series.
Obviously... that didn't happen, and certainly doesn't even look like a viable promise.
. . . . . . and the power to find a real crisis that they can use to stop us from voting. It could happen as can be seen by the recent talk about "allowing" those who make more than $250,000 to pay for the surge in Afghanistan. They do come up with some real goodies and stopping them may be very hard to do.
No. They are talking about a war tax for incomes as low as 30K. It is not solely for those over 250K. Spend, spend, spend b/c we're in a crisis, then use a crisis as a pathway to tax increases on the middle class. You saw it coming way before election day. The american idol people did not.
1. Obama has not even had one year in office, it is impossible to know how any of his sponsored legislation will play out. All we have is speculation now.
2. If Obamas policies are proven to have done major damage, what evidence do you have that McCain/Palin would have done anything different or better?

A LOT MORE than speculation we DO have.......many just choose to ignore the obvious.
If BO's policies prove to be damaging.......is not even an "IF" anymore.....but a GIVEN.
Assuming that McCain/Palin would have opted to do things differently......would produce some kind of outcome, sure.....but NOT the one we are presently heading for!
48% Expect Tax Hike, Fundamental Challenge for Obama Administration
Forty-eight percent (48%) of voters nationwide now expect their own taxes to go up during the Obama years. The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey shows that just nine percent (9%) expect their own taxes to go down.
Those figures reflect a dramatic turnaround from earlier in the year. In January, just 29% expected their taxes to go up while 21% expected them to go down. That trend presents quite a challenge for a president who clinched the White House by promising to cut taxes for 95% of Americans. 48% Expect Tax Hike, Fundamental Challenge for Obama Administration - Rasmussen Reports™
Where do they get their crystal balls? I want one. Mine's not working right. I don't make wild speculations.
They don't care what the populace wants, neither are they listening. They are counting on the fact that the American voters are stupid, ...
Sure they are ... The fact that Obama even got elected should be a sign of how incredibly stupid the American voter really is.
