Obama says he is different, a new type of politician. So, what's so new about him? Is his foreign policy views different than past democrats? Are his views on gay marriage, abortion, and school vouchers different than past democrats? Are his views on energy independence, taxes, and the economy different than past democrats? Is he more patriotic than past Democrats? Does he refuse to throw race into the election, unlike past Democrats? What makes him so unique and so different than a Jimmy Carter or a Walter Mondale? What makes him different from a John Kerry or a Michael Dukakis?|||He's different from Bush and McCain and that's good enough for me. I've had enough of their ineptitude and their total disregard for the Constitution and our freedom and integrity.|||The only thing that makes him different is the color of his skin and his religious background. And all the BS aside, that is the only thing that this election is about now. That is all we talk about, all we care about. But, he is no freaking different, he is snake, just like the rest of them.|||Because of his race in part - Obama has had a unique advantage while living in both cultural worlds of both the White and the African American cultural world . This is just one example of a great moral strength and ability. I believe that this strength - has enhanced his ability to work toward peace and acknowledge and listen to another point of view.|||Is he more patriotic than past democrats?! The man wouldn't say the pledge of allegiance or hold his hand over his heart during the national anthem. He was in Germany, but didn't visit a single military base - just europeans ... oh, and the gym, too. I'll tell you what's different. He is the first non-American to run for office. Sure, he was born here, but sometimes that's not enough. He even identifies himself as Kansas-Kenyan.... Well, atleast Kansas got in there.....|||Nothing is really different about him. His campaign has taken on this rock star its cool to like Obama theme and lacked any substance. He's young, black, different, some may consider him hip, and the media is backing him like they've never backed anyone else even at their most biased times so that's all that's different.|||New world order. One world government. He wants to be the one to usher it in. He promises a new peace and universalism. The times have led to this, a culmination of policys of the past. That is what is new. A new world. Oh, and party has nothing to do with it. Evil knows no party, only power. Oh, and his voice is creepy, hollow sounding. . .|||He is black but that is not the reason he shouldn't win. He thinks he is already president.He act's like it He has only been in the public eye for a couple of years.He has no good ideas nothing new.He don't have experience to run our great nation.We can't give on the job training. He is no different than any other democrat.|||He is different. He is a Socialist, not a Democrat. This should not be news to the Democratic party. Many politicians have catapulted themselves into office on the Democratic ticket and only shown their true colors after elected.
In that respect, Obama is NO different.|||The last candidate to run like Obama was JFK.
The similarities are very strong.
I suggest spending a few minutes looking JFK up.
Not the post 1963 stuff, but from before that.
Then look up Operation Northwood and G. H. Bush's involvement in it.|||His skin color and a little more elequent on his rhetoric of prepared speeches, but nothing else. His battle cry has been "Change", which can be good, but change without a decisive plan on how to implement it can be a disaster. As it now stands, if he is elected, that is how our country is headed.|||Umm.... Obama鈥檚 black. And if u don鈥檛 for him, you鈥檒l be accused by the NY Times and Ted Kennedy of being racist. Seriously, besides a big smile and elitist demeanor, he鈥檚 no different than any tax and spend liberal politician we鈥檙e used to seeing.|||One of the biggest differences is the fact that many,many republicans like this guy, and he works together with them.
Are you not tired of seeing good ideas getting flushed because of this problem.|||He's black and has a decent chance of winning the election. Democrats lose based on their personalities, not on their stance on the issues. Obama has a charismatic, winning personality.|||hes more arigant
he loves himself alot
he thinks he is president already
he loves himself alot
he thhinks that you can save as much oil that you can drill by filling up tires and getting tune ups
he loves himeself alot
he has a bigger ego
|||Sadly the only difference is his skin color, which in this MTV brainwashed age is cool I guess. If P-diddy tells you to vote for him you better or he will kill you.|||He is WORSE!|||Yes, he is brilliant person who understans new sets of time. |||What makes McCain different from Bush?|||He's black and sincere!!!
There's a difference.
OBAMA '08|||He has Soros handling his every move.|||He works with both republicans and democrats|||Ummm,he's got rhythm.|||He's for "hope and change".
He HOPES to take my money, make CHANGE of it and distribute it amongst those "less fortunate"[read 'LAZY'].|||cause obama is really good. and he is about a change

What is Obama doing to prevent a poll shift and Armageddon in 2012?
Most Scientist agree we could be looking at the end of the world in 2012, what is Obama doing to stop it?|||Obama will fix all. He promised! Maybe Obama could head up the Departments of Hope and Change, which can be in a new federal building shaped like a heart, where he can sit around and think of ways to inspire people with empty, meaningless rhetoric. His entire role in the government can be finding new ways of feeding our emotions. Liberals yearn for a choreographed fantasy world which disputes human nature. They swoon at the idea of standing on the side of the hill while reciting poetry with talking raccoons, singing kum ba yah and drinking decaffeinated Coke. o_O|||Huh?
The world isn't going to end in 2012. Anyone who tells you that it is are mentally unstable.
People have been predicting the end of the world since man first walked the earth. They are con men who desire power, fame, and your money. They are dangerous and should never be taken seriously.|||actually only half of him will see the apocalypse in 2012

What has Obama done or suggested to be done to improve the economy?
How will Obama be our saviour and fix the economy? What has he done as Senator to improve the economy? Or does he just want to blame Bush for it?|||nothing, nothing, and yes|||Obama has suggested withdrawing from Iraq and have the Iraqis support spend their own money. This would free up $10 Billion dollars a month we are currently spending.
Bail out strategy from bottom up plan. Instead of giving the money to Wall Street and still displacing families, restructure mortgage rates and principles. The net effect will still make the securities that are based on these mortgages adjusted to market values. People will get to keep their homes, and we will not have a flood of foreclosed houses on the market driving down other property values.
Lastly, with a tax credit giving to the middle class they will use the funds and spend it. This consumer spending will stimulate the recovery of the economy. This in turn will drive businesses.|||Well, if you look at our current production possibilities table, we are operating under the economic line. The reason is unemployment. The reason for the unemployment rise is higher gas prices and foreign competition. What Obama wants to do is rise taxes to create more jobs and end America's dependence on foreign oil by putting tax money into alternative oil research. Basically, he wants to create more jobs to employ more people to get back on the economic line. So far, he has done nothing to help because he hasn't been in office for too long. As for Bush, I believe that he is blamed for all our problems because people don't know who else to blame. But he hasn't helped at all. He is just employing Reaganomics on a country that it will never work on.
BTW, even if Obama pulls out of Iraq, he is still going to use the same amount of funds in attacking Afghanistan.|||http://66.218.69.11/search/cache?ei=UTF-鈥?/a>|||He has done nothing, zip, nada, to improve the economy.

How did Obama become the epitome of what we voted against?
I voted for Obama because I felt he would be different than Bush. I have been sorely disappointed, and in fact he's looking more and more like a Bush clone everyday. Did corporate interests corrupt him? What do you think made him change so drastically from the man we voted for?|||The truth is, he started out corrupt. He is a master at saying what you want to hear and then doing something else. He is a product of the thoroughly corrupt Chicago political machine. Did you really expect him to be honest? He is completely beholden to the special interests that got him there. He also is an ideologue who has only one thing on his mind. . .Power. . Government power. If you want someone to take over and "rule" us, then he's your man. Some of us actually listened to what he said BEFORE he was elected and thus are not surprised at how he is currently acting.
I don't think he's like Bush. Bush for all his faults at least meant well. Obama doesn't.|||Those who voted for him took him at face value and didn't look into what he stood for.
He is doing what he promised - Change.
Social activists (also known as Community Organizers) are FOR big government and increasing government spending. He is also a pathological liar. If you did your homework before the election you would know that that is what he was and is.
Corporate interests did not corrupt him, he was corrupt from the beginning.|||Yes, obama was corrupted. Obama does not really have any power. He is told what to do and what to say. It was a matter of time. When will America get a good president that makes a difference.|||He always was " what we should have voted against" Unfortunately some bought the hype, the false rhetoric and drank the Obama kool aid.
I am proud to say I did not!|||He never fooled me!
Americans got the government they wanted!|||Obama is only human an does the best he can|||fooled us all
cant trust anybody to keep there word anymore|||He didn't. I suspect it's all in your mind.

What will Obama try to accomplish if he gets elected a second term?
What do you believe Obama's goals will be for second term if he wins the general election next year?|||A total and complete collapse of the United States economy. The total and complete destruction of the American way of life to include the creation of racial bitterness and antagonism between all ethnic groups. In short, should 0bama be re-elected it will be the destruction of the American way of life, to include maybe even the secession of some states from the union.|||Find a part of the economy that he hasn't destroyed yet.|||higher debt limit .|||nothing like always|||To finish the u.s. off in total damnation.
How come Obama was not specific when asked about the programs he would cut?
He says he will go through the federal budget line by line and eliminate programs that no longer works. His statement would have carried more weight and he would have come off more knowledgeable in this area if he backed it up with a few examples. Instead, I feel like I have to take his word on blind faith.
Can anyone tell me specifically where Obama is going to cut spending?|||You haven't been paying attention these past two years three months, it seems. The very first month he was in office, President Obama went through the final FY Bush/Cheney budget line by line, as promised, and CUT SPENDING by canceling the Bush-ordered presidential helicopter fleet (saving at least $62 BILLION that was returned to Treasury for National Debt paydown). Then, around mid-2009, President Obama again eliminated wasteful spending (CUT SPENDING) by simply canceling the Cheney-ordered fleet of very costly F-22 planes that even the Air Force did not want, sending more than $65 BILLION ($365 MILLION PER PLANE) back to Treasury.
If you go back and review Associated Press and Bloomberg News articles from early 2010, you would discover that President Obama's first-ever budget (October 1, 2009 through September 30, 2010 Fiscal Year) following the final Bush/Cheney FY (Oct. 1, 2008 through Sept. 30, 2009) $1.09 TRILLION budget knocked off that $.09 TRILLION through disciplined and targeted CUTS IN SPENDING (programs eliminated or consolidated, for example), making his first budget for $1.0 trillion ($90,000,000,000 or $90 BILLION LESS than his predecessors').
This coming Wednesday, President Obama is scheduled to deliver a speech to the American people about which programs he is proposing to cut that will not slow the recovery he has been able to achieve after the devastation of the Republicans' economic policies from 2001 through 2008. C-SPAN will be the best place to watch this speech or you can go to whitehouse.gov and see a live broadcast as well, unedited and uninterrupted.|||After two years of spending like a drunken sailor, do you really think Obama has suddenly become a deficit hawk.
This is the guy who has lead the biggest increase in government in history.
What has Obama been suggesting we cut for the last two years? Nothing|||Tax and spend democrats usually don't. If they did they will not be reelected. If Obama has a choice he will not until after the 2012 election. If he and the Dems are reelected, they will tax, tax and more tax.|||Obama has already cut spending..He cut federal workers pay, but freezing salaries...and he froze cost of living adjustments for people living on Social Security...never saw Bush do that|||Likely in order to avoid limiting the possibilities. He is a compromiser. (Better get part of what you want than nothing at all --- right?)|||(D) = iron-clad guarantee he will do his best to dramatically increase spending.|||Because unlike the Republicans he is really willing to negotiate in good faith.|||He dos not know himself what the senate and congress will let him cut|||He didn't say because he is a liar. All politicians are!|||Obama is just small piece of the pie! He can't FART without Congress approval!

How is Obama gonna react to the rapidly progressing Chinese Military?
Carrier Killer, Improved missile guidance systems, and not to mention their amazing numbers. What can we expect to see Obama do to react?|||Obama will call for a town hall meeting, a stern one. Forget the UN, our no so last best hope for peace, go to the top - Jay Leno at 11:30 pm. Turn this over to the tough guy Rahm Emanuel, he thinks he can handle Republicans, Chinese should be no problem. A parachute rescue mission using ACORN commandos, fresh from stunning victories over AIG execs and their wives and children, might be considered. And don鈥檛 forget David Axelrod, a guy who knows how to follow the path the media has laid down for him. Above all Mr Obama, has the ultimate weapon, his teleprompter, show no mercy ! And remember to keep turning your head from side to side, that physical punctuation mark that suggests gravity. Oh, and Mr. Obama, don鈥檛 poo your pants, because it isn鈥檛 all taking about the economy.
Liberals in control. The store is open - take what you want and nothing will happen. Kinda like the Community Reinvestment Act. This time it is the鈥╓RA - World Reinvestment Act. And you thought Barry O was going to redistribute the wealth to only Americans. o_O|||He won't need to react to their military because it is still some years away from being equal to the USA's in terms of technology
So, he'll pass the buck to future President's because he won't really have to worry about it.
Besides the Chinese are becoming Americanized by the influx of wealth and they won't want to lose that cash flow so in essence by dumping the millions and millions of dollars we are effectively neutralizing them as an all out enemy.|||With China holding out regarding sanctions to North Korea, I think we are looking at those two joining up. They could easily take over the entire region. Another world war probably. And just think, we are funding it. All the millions we send to North Korea to feed the starving (which they never benefit from) and all the Americans buying all that crap from China. And it is crap. We will soon learn I think.|||Oh, we will be their friend. There's no way they will fight us, since they're invested so heavily in our economy. They will not want us to seize their wealth. China has far too many people to fight hand to hand. They will have to be nuked if they challenge our existence. That's Obama's only option.|||Obama will say he's there to listen, not to dictate.|||Bow and surrender.|||Give them an IPOD, or a nice Wok.|||BOW DOWN TO THEM

How did Obama use affirmative action to become successful?
I've seen a lot of people here accuse Obama of milking affirmative action to get ahead. If that is indeed true, then what proof supports this claim?|||Not at all, when applying to Harvard he didn't even mention his ethnicity. Obviously this will get thumbs down as it's not a negative comment regarding the man.
Obama was a lawyer prior to becoming President, in fact education-wise, he's a lot more qualified than a good amount of Presidents in our past.
If anything, Obama is a walking billboard for why we don't need affirmative action anymore. He over came the odds and achieved his goals without using his race to promote/demote his visions, despite the naysayers opinions.|||You can't use affirmative to be successful if you don't have the talent to begin with. Neither Columbia University nor Harvard will accept a student without the grades. Black, white or green. There's nothing to milk.
I've seen this crap when I lived in Tennessee. Some of those clowns figured a smart black person had to have had an angle, affirmative action or some other crap to get ahead. I remember a white woman in Tennessee asked my wife no less than 7 damn times which school (Columbia University) she went to. Finally I told her to cut it out. Then she went on to talk about her own Community College experience as well as some Dominican baseball players. The very idea of an Ivy League Educated non-white is foreign and almost anathema to some brain dead folks.|||There is no proof so, where do all these wild accusations come from?
There is a saying in the Russian Army; 'The fish stinks from its head'.
Perhaps Zer0bama being so secretive about his past has something to do with it.
A list of visitors at the White-House had to be dragged out of him through a court order.
Has anyone seen his grades?
Has anyone seen his papers?
Has anyone seen anything he published in the Ivy league newspaper he was in charge of?
Maybe if he was a little more forthcoming all of this so-called 'nonsense' as Gibbs puts it, would subside.|||I haven't heard that one. So some idiots say that and you need to ask everyone a question about it? You're addressing a small group of people on that one I think.
No matter his skin color, I would still point out the fact that he's inexperienced...yeah just a little ya think?
Truth Seeker: No, it's liberals like you who will never let anyone be "color blind". Criticize a black man, like Obama, and what happens? "RACISM". You people are ridiculous.|||There probably is no proof. The guy worked his *** off. He has essentially been running for President since he was in HS. The guy walked around the ghetto organizing the community and went to Harvard law school. He even taught constitutioinal law at Harvard.|||You will never find proof that black people were unfairly given a leg up over white people in the name of affirmative action.
Lets be honest, if he wasnt black he would have never even gotten the nomination. We wouldnt even know who he is.|||If this were the case, than the 43rd President used legacy admissions and parental jobs to get ahead, which is an older form of affirmative action.|||There is no evidence that I've ever seen.

Obama was a lawyer prior to becoming President, in fact education-wise, he's a lot more qualified than a good amount of Presidents in our past.
If anything, Obama is a walking billboard for why we don't need affirmative action anymore. He over came the odds and achieved his goals without using his race to promote/demote his visions, despite the naysayers opinions.|||You can't use affirmative to be successful if you don't have the talent to begin with. Neither Columbia University nor Harvard will accept a student without the grades. Black, white or green. There's nothing to milk.
I've seen this crap when I lived in Tennessee. Some of those clowns figured a smart black person had to have had an angle, affirmative action or some other crap to get ahead. I remember a white woman in Tennessee asked my wife no less than 7 damn times which school (Columbia University) she went to. Finally I told her to cut it out. Then she went on to talk about her own Community College experience as well as some Dominican baseball players. The very idea of an Ivy League Educated non-white is foreign and almost anathema to some brain dead folks.|||There is no proof so, where do all these wild accusations come from?
There is a saying in the Russian Army; 'The fish stinks from its head'.
Perhaps Zer0bama being so secretive about his past has something to do with it.
A list of visitors at the White-House had to be dragged out of him through a court order.
Has anyone seen his grades?
Has anyone seen his papers?
Has anyone seen anything he published in the Ivy league newspaper he was in charge of?
Maybe if he was a little more forthcoming all of this so-called 'nonsense' as Gibbs puts it, would subside.|||I haven't heard that one. So some idiots say that and you need to ask everyone a question about it? You're addressing a small group of people on that one I think.
No matter his skin color, I would still point out the fact that he's inexperienced...yeah just a little ya think?
Truth Seeker: No, it's liberals like you who will never let anyone be "color blind". Criticize a black man, like Obama, and what happens? "RACISM". You people are ridiculous.|||There probably is no proof. The guy worked his *** off. He has essentially been running for President since he was in HS. The guy walked around the ghetto organizing the community and went to Harvard law school. He even taught constitutioinal law at Harvard.|||You will never find proof that black people were unfairly given a leg up over white people in the name of affirmative action.
Lets be honest, if he wasnt black he would have never even gotten the nomination. We wouldnt even know who he is.|||If this were the case, than the 43rd President used legacy admissions and parental jobs to get ahead, which is an older form of affirmative action.|||There is no evidence that I've ever seen.

When is Obama going to stop vacationing and start paying attention to our problems?
Do you really think they care about you? Do you really think King Obama and Princess Pelosi really care about your problems? If they do, they are the BIGGEST IDIOTS on the face of the planet, because nationalizing everything and trying to spend your way out of a recession does not and never works. A common myth is for every 1$ of stimulus produces $1.50 of economic growth. If that is so true, then how come whenever they spend money unemployment rises?|||Obama has only ONE agenda: radically and irreversibly transform the economy of this country to a point that it is no longer the envy of the world. Obma is going to put us in our place, we have been too dismissive and too arrogant for way too long; it's time for U.S. to learn a lesson, that it is not and will not be number one in the world. But of course, this is not the way he sells his policies to the American people, no, he comes our and parades some poor souls behind him and boohoos that if we don't pass this stimulus or that one or the other one then this teacher won't have a job, and little johnny will not have a teacher come this fall, and that there will not be enough police officer on the street to protect us and the crime will go up. What happened to the first stimulus, Mr. President? You said the unemployment would not go above 8%. Since you passed that one (without our consent) unemployment has been going up steadily and there is no sign of recovery yet.
Please leave us the hell alone.|||I think it is apparent to anyone who thinks that this bunch are hellbent on ruining our economy so they can centralize all power and money with the executive branch of government. Whether on vacation or not, Obama is a sock puppet to much bigger progressives who are writing the bills, spending the money and regulating us into submission.
We live in very scary times and until our neighbors who are sleeping wake up, we will continue headlong into serfdom.|||"A common myth is for every 1$ of stimulus produces $1.50 of economic growth."
How much economic growth do we get per dollar that we spend in Iraq?
What makes you think the Republicans are any better than the Dems?|||You didn't notice all the vacations Bush and his family took? Or was it because he is a Republican he can do no wrong? You blame Obama for the same things Bush did but more.

There hasn't been enough inflation to trigger a Social Security cost of living raise. So Obama is going to spend billions %26amp; send them a check that they don't have coming to them.

What can Obama and the Republicans do to fix their economy before their reelection?
Republicans are now sharing a snuggie with Obama now that they won the house.|||Obama will "spend" us into oblivion, BEWARE!!|||Obama needs to leave the country and never return. let the new Republicans go after the budget with a very sharp knife and cut the hell out of it.|||obama can agree to all of the cuts that will be proposed by the Republicans, and then obama should take a very long vacation.|||Get rid of all liberals and their Anti-American agendas and we can once again begin to become the most successful Nation on Earth|||Start listening and get along.It will never happen though.No one wants to make things work.|||Stop Spending
Why do Obama supporters always tend to blame the inaction and grave blunders of their hero on conservatives?
When will they every require their Obama to take any semblance of responsibility for his actions or the lack there of?|||Liberals cannot blame 0bama for his failures because to do so, would be blaming their core belief in moral relativism. They would have to admit things like:
The Government cannot create jobs.
Terrorists are evil with an evil agenda
Corporations are wonderful and provide most of American wealth and prosperity
capitalism is a powerful force for prosperity and good
Government intervention harms the economy
Regulations caused the mortgage disaster. not deregulation.
All liberal thought, policy, values and beliefs are rooted in specific, fundamental lies. All liberal rhetoric is simply justification of those lies. In virtually all cases, liberals side with immorality and wrongness. It's because they have no moral base. They continually will side with evil over good. Moral relativism is their religion. This means Republicans who value freedom are wrong because republicans have that moral value. Republicans who value free markets are wrong because liberals believe government is better than freedom. Government, in their opinion must always help evil and oppose good moral values. This is why they side with terrorists instead of the American troops fighting terrorists. Liberals are fond of saying one man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter. Liberals are oblivious to the definitions of words for example, freedom fighter would mean fighting for freedom, wouldn't it and clearly Sharia law forced on those who don't want to practice radical Muslim slavery, is not fighting for freedom. The examples are endless but always liberals will side with evil because they cannot commit to traditional moral values.|||Who do conservatives insist on blaming Obama for events he has no control over?|||The Obama supporters are becoming fewer and fewer...the people that really matter know Obama is a failure and they will prove it come 2012.|||It's on page six of the Liberal handbook. Blame anybody but yourself. Better if you blame a conservative.|||Because Conservatives are stupid enough to believe it when they're told that every breath Obama takes is a grave blunder that's going to doom America.

You sound fearful.
'smatter? don't like the idea of a half white man as president.too bad

What if Obama wins the majority of the popular vote but loses the electoral college?
Say the Republicans win all the states they won in 04' plus a few smaller ones like Maine and New Hampshire etc but Obama wins huge victories in California and New York etc ?
Who wins?|||The candidate with the most electoral college votes wins the election.|||The electoral college is the final arbiter. It would take a constitutional amendment to change this, and that doesn't seem likely. Further, realize that the only times this happens is when a race is so close that, statistically speaking, the margin of victory in popular vote is usually within the margin of error of the polling technology. For example during Bush/Gore, the margin by which Gore won the popular vote was razor thin. Given the huge number of tabulation mistakes, marking mistakes, outright fraud, and other factors, even though we aren't going a poll in the sampling sense, there is still a margin of error, and while no one can agree on quite that that margin would be, Gore was well within it.|||The results of the election are decided in the Electoral College. For example, if obama gets a trillion "votes" in Chicago, but no votes at all anywhere else, he only wins Illinois.|||Wishful thinking.
That's the problems with libs. They cling to "hope", "change", and "fantasies".
Obama will become NOTHING. Fact.|||As with Al Gore the snore, you lose if you don't get the electoral votes.|||He's out. Exactly what happened in Bush vs Gore. Gore had the majority of votes but still lost.

Why does Obama request to dismiss the case against him instead of show the proof?
Obama is being asked in a federal Supreme Court to submit proof that he is a citizen, why waste all of our time and money and not just provide the proof? Why is he asking it to be dismissed? What does he have to hide?|||He didn't ask it to be dismissed. He's not even a party to the case. And it was already tossed out of court, weeks ago.|||No, he isn't.

The Supreme Court (most of whom were conservative Republicans before being appointed to the bench) decided this case was so lacking in merit that they dismissed it.

You lost the election. Get over it. You'll have another shot at it in 4 years. In the meantime, be a good American and make the best of it.|||Exactly, why is this even an issue?

Obama, I suspect, has PLENTY to hide--but sadly, he has some pretty effective people covering for him. But eventually, a scandal is going to break loose that even his best people can't cover up or hide.

What will Obama have to do in order to grant equal federal rights to same-sex couples?
Now that Obama has been elected, and he said he'd like to grant equal rights to same-sex couples that mimic heterosexual couples' "marriage," on a federal level, what is the step-by-step procedure he'll have to take? How long would such a thing take, if at all predictable?|||he will give them a certificate
mark k|||He can introduce the bill to Congress - from there, it's any body's guess.
They may start debate immediately or they may go on vacation.........|||The federal government has no interest in marriage so hopefully he'll have the sense to leave it alone.|||The president does not introduce legislation though he can ask for congress to do so. President Obama has always said that homosexual marriage is a state issue, not a federal one.|||It will be on huge pile of "to do" list on his desk|||he will not do nothing, he will ignore the problem and agree that its a problem with the state, just like he does with everything else, he ignores it and points at the law in that area.|||Did you see how same-sex marriage was resoundingly rejected in the last election? It would be political death for Obama to take any action in order to further the gay agenda. All he can do is agree to rubber-stamp whatever pro-gay legislation the Congress puts forward. Even then, it may doom his chances for re-election in 2012. As far as the gay agenda has come, it will never become socially acceptable because the USA is fundamentally a religious nation and religions across the board reject the gay lifestyle. The best gays can hope for is continued ambivelence by the media and a permissive attitude by the citizenry.

How is Obama a conservative and how are his beliefs similar to the Conservative Party of Canada?
What certain beliefs of Obama are conservative, and does he have any similar beliefs to the Conservative party of Canada? Do you think he is more like the Liberal Party in Canada or the Conservatives?|||Obama doesn't have any conservative beliefs, but since nearly every political party in Canada is socialist/fascist, Obama would feel comfortable as a member.|||He's not. He tries to please everyone, and that's where he screws up. He's like airline food, when tehy design it, they make the food so no one well find it displeasing, and it ends up bland and no one likes it. Obama tries to listen to everyoen, and try to use the policies from both parties, but that makes his policy directionless. He wants to please the Republican by cutting the National debt, and teh liberal to institute Keynesian economics, but you can't do both, and therefore teh policy would definetely fail. I don't believe Keynesian economics would succeed in this recession, but there is a possibility it might succeed if he does it right, not do it half a**.|||He's certainly not liberal to GLOBAL standards but to AMerican standards he is. The American "political compass" seems to only stop at center and there is no "left".

Do you think President Obama lacks leadership and is giving too much power to his democratic congress?
It seems that President Obama has no power over the country.It seems that Nancy Peloci and Harry Reid have more power over the country than Obama.|||There is a separation of powers in this nation designed by the constitution. As for the lacking leadership, Obama has told his minions what he wants. Many, like Reid and Harry, have tried to walk lock step. Those dems who refuse have been either threatened with the withdrawal of support or bribed with special deals for their state. What Obama lacks is integrity and an understand of how things are supposed to be accomplished.|||Yes, I do think President Obama lacks leadership and is giving too much power to his democratic congress. We need a man or woman who can stand up and MAKE DECISIONS - decisions based on their true beliefs, values and principles. We need someone to be strong in war and make rapid decisions to provide our military all that they need and request - to win the war. IF we don鈥檛 go all the way and try to rapidly win the war - then get out - and get out now without another lost life. Obama is trying to please everybody - all the while our soldiers are being killed and moral is going down everyday. We need a leader.
America needs a leader who will be financially responsible and scold our current politicians for their outrageous financial irresponsibility. We need a leader who believes in capitalism and the strength of the free markets to decide which companies fail and which succeed. We need a leader who will say that the recent $300 Million payoff to the Louisiana Senator is wrong and corrupt and that it WILL NOT OCCUR! Where is our leader? o_O|||The old adage "the tail is wagging the dog" was NEVER more appropriate than this scenario.
That Congress is carrying out Obamas "agenda" ( including the soon to be passed increase in Federal Withholding Tax to 45% ) is unquestionable. This is exactly what Obama wants though. Keep the opposition and anger off him and focused on Congress.|||Pelosi and Reid are the nails on Obama Presidency coffin, he almost seems like their errand boy, and dances to Pelosi' whip!
Pelosi and Reid have an 18% approval, you'd think Obama was smart enough to distance himself,
and take over the reign, or he will go under with them,|||While we are being under attack by Terrorists, Obama is in Hawaii golfing refusing photo ops, because he does not want the public to see,
That is Leadership for you, Obama style!|||I said all along, Obama is just a puppet! Not one original idea in his CAREER! Senate and White House. He was just the face of " hope and change". Now he is basically a political lackey.|||Well he ain't no Hillary, she would have shown who the Boss is,..
Obama is a community organizer who voted present almost all of the time,
why did anyone expect leadership from him?|||Obama is constantly campaigning. He is not a leader by any means. He couldn't run a child's lemonade stand.

that could have been used to lower the deficit?
More Obama smoke and mirrors?|||Because he is by far the most disingenuous President that our nation has ever seen..
While the current system may consume a large portion of our GDP most of that money is coming from private sources not public ones. Why does anyone care what Joe Blow decides to spend on health-care?..|||I am not paying for your Iraq War Money Pit and your Bank Bailouts and your multitrillion dollar tax cuts for the rich.
When you have this all paid off, then come back and whine about government spending.|||Maybe because taxpayer money is already being used to pay for health care, and the proposal is about paying for it more efficiently.
Right now, we're subsidizing the health of every uninsured person who goes to the emergency room for everyday treatment. I would rather such people be seen in doctor's offices. It would be far, far cheaper for every taxpayer.|||Let's wait till he speaks tonight before putting words in his mouth.|||He does not know how to save money in order to spend it. He just spends and thats why his poll numbers are dropping daily.|||The current system consumes 1/6 of the US GDP. Most of this goes to replicate administrative units.
In all honesty, reforming the system, lowering costs would put more money into other areas of the economy, which in turn, increases revenue|||Yes it is. the whole concept of trying to be budget neutral during a time of soaring deficits is utterly ridiculous, only the gullible and misinformed believe it.|||Study some economics.
If you are not adding to the deficit you are not adding to the deficit.
Remember, Bush liked to put things like funding for the wars and stimulus packages off budget so they looked like they weren't adding to the deficit even though they were adding to the national debt.|||Congressional Budget Office says: Health Care Plan, that has been reveled will cost just under 300 billion over the next ten years.
You simply can't take money from a failing program (Medicare) and give it to a losing program! Is anyone listening to all this?|||He can candy coat it however he wants, it is going to cost an arm and a leg not to mention other body parts. You don't get something for nothing.|||http://americansagainstsocialism.webs.com/|||Absolutely.
Look at every single government plan:
Social Security / Medicare / Medicaid / Postal Sevice / Amtrak / Freddie Mac / Fannie Mae.
Every single one is either bankrupt, or will be bankrupt within 10 years.
Now all of a suddent, the Government is going to wring efficiencies out ofa 155 of our national GDP.
God save us from our "leaders".|||He can because no one in the press will fact check and call him on it, they are running scared and have no backbone. Others are called to answer and are put in jail for perjury.|||Many of those in favor of this plan are already receiving government benefits of some sort and merely want to keep the gravy train rolling. Those AGAINST this ridiculous plan KNOW that the government will use this to control EVERY aspect of our lives and then proceed to tax and tax and tax us until we are like Canada - with each person paying OVER 50% in taxes - is this what you want? Do you want to be over taxed just to pay for the health care of 200 million other people - people you do not know?
The Obama mob wants this plan in place because it will require another 1.5 MILLION bureaucrats to run the inefficient fiasco. Plus add in the 30 million new health care recipients and BINGO! - You have a situation where Barack is GUARANTEED another term - also guaranteeing that America will fundamentally change forever and capitalism will be all but dead in America. Where will the innovation come from? Who will be doing R%26amp;D to discover new drugs and remedies? America will no longer be the leader in these areas - Obama wants to wipe out ambition, entrepreneurism and innovation - he wants a grey, dull America - run by the government. o_O|||Because the Republicans have given him enough crap already for the the 700billion dollar stimulus check he put in place. The money will most likely slowly be paid off through taxes in the net 100years or so.

It would be far, far cheaper for every taxpayer.|||Let's wait till he speaks tonight before putting words in his mouth.|||He does not know how to save money in order to spend it. He just spends and thats why his poll numbers are dropping daily.|||The current system consumes 1/6 of the US GDP. Most of this goes to replicate administrative units.
In all honesty, reforming the system, lowering costs would put more money into other areas of the economy, which in turn, increases revenue|||Yes it is. the whole concept of trying to be budget neutral during a time of soaring deficits is utterly ridiculous, only the gullible and misinformed believe it.|||Study some economics.
If you are not adding to the deficit you are not adding to the deficit.
Remember, Bush liked to put things like funding for the wars and stimulus packages off budget so they looked like they weren't adding to the deficit even though they were adding to the national debt.|||Congressional Budget Office says: Health Care Plan, that has been reveled will cost just under 300 billion over the next ten years.
You simply can't take money from a failing program (Medicare) and give it to a losing program! Is anyone listening to all this?|||He can candy coat it however he wants, it is going to cost an arm and a leg not to mention other body parts. You don't get something for nothing.|||http://americansagainstsocialism.webs.com/|||Absolutely.
Look at every single government plan:
Social Security / Medicare / Medicaid / Postal Sevice / Amtrak / Freddie Mac / Fannie Mae.
Every single one is either bankrupt, or will be bankrupt within 10 years.
Now all of a suddent, the Government is going to wring efficiencies out ofa 155 of our national GDP.
God save us from our "leaders".|||He can because no one in the press will fact check and call him on it, they are running scared and have no backbone. Others are called to answer and are put in jail for perjury.|||Many of those in favor of this plan are already receiving government benefits of some sort and merely want to keep the gravy train rolling. Those AGAINST this ridiculous plan KNOW that the government will use this to control EVERY aspect of our lives and then proceed to tax and tax and tax us until we are like Canada - with each person paying OVER 50% in taxes - is this what you want? Do you want to be over taxed just to pay for the health care of 200 million other people - people you do not know?
The Obama mob wants this plan in place because it will require another 1.5 MILLION bureaucrats to run the inefficient fiasco. Plus add in the 30 million new health care recipients and BINGO! - You have a situation where Barack is GUARANTEED another term - also guaranteeing that America will fundamentally change forever and capitalism will be all but dead in America. Where will the innovation come from? Who will be doing R%26amp;D to discover new drugs and remedies? America will no longer be the leader in these areas - Obama wants to wipe out ambition, entrepreneurism and innovation - he wants a grey, dull America - run by the government. o_O|||Because the Republicans have given him enough crap already for the the 700billion dollar stimulus check he put in place. The money will most likely slowly be paid off through taxes in the net 100years or so.

How did Obama start a war when Libya was already in a civil war before the UN no fly zone?
Does any part of the conservatives argument that Obama started a war in Libya make sense?|||No, but to be fair, none of their criticisms of Obama have ever made much sense.|||Obama did not start a war. A decision was declared by UN to institute a no-fly zone over Libya. Without it, Gaddaffi would have killed EVERY SINGLE rebel. Also, Obama was not the one heading this campaign. Believe it or not, it was and is France that is pushing hardest to help Libya. The US has said from the start that they are not going to be heading this. Obama has openly said that he needs to hand the reigns over to somebody else. The US is already in two wars, so it cannot afford to be in another. And in case you are wondering about the chronology of the events. A great number of Libyans who were fed up with Gaddafi, rose up against him. Gaddaffi, being the evil douchebag that he is, brought in mercenaries and killed many of them. He was willing to head to Banghazi( which is basically rebel headquarters) and finish them off. But, then the UN intervened and safed those people by instituting a no-fly zone. A lot of Gaddafi's forces are still fighting though, so it's not over and a lot of people have died.|||Technically, "Obama" did not "start a war" in Libya. It was a United Nations sanction that sent multiple country's air forces to the region to enforce a no fly zone. There was no declaration of war, just as there was no declaration of war for other U.N conflict such as the Korean War and the Vietnam War. Obama was merely following international policy and would be criticized either way. If he decided to wait and disregard the sanction he would have been criticized as being slow to act and not a central part of the international community, while if he acted as he did now, he would be criticized of not consulting the formal national policies. The term civil war is debatable since the Libyan government has substantially more equipment than those of the opposition, we have also been looking for a reason to take out Libya for some time now, if you were born in the seventies you would think that Gaddafi was even more of a dictator that he is RIGHT NOW.
P.S You DO NOT WANT the president to declare war, it gives him supreme power to do whatever the skidoodles he wants to do, look at Lincoln he enabled martial law, look at Bush with the Patriot act. Throughout our history war means more power for the executive branch.
P.S Go easy on Obama he is leading our country through one of it's darkest periods. He has had to deal with the war in Iraq, Afghanistan, the BP oil spill, the Haitian earthquake, a economic depression, unemployment, a housing crisis, petty politics, the 9.0 Japan earthquake, the Mexican drug war, a series of revolutions in the middle east threatening American resources, a failing education system, North Korean aggression, and economic warfare with China. Peace out, make sure to do something with your life, the world needs it.|||I never heard Fox accuse Obama of starting a war. They questioned things like 1) Obama following France's lead instead of leading himself, 2) Obama being in Brazil when he had pressing matters at home, 3) the cost of the operations in Libya, and 4) the extent of our involvement and whether it will need Congressional approval ultimately.|||Scary thing is, Hillary is being credited now with leading the Us into war with Libya. Hillary. Not Obama who is busy on vacation in Rio. How embarrassing that this man is our "leader".
Fox is Prop- To my knowledge every ounce of blame was placed squarely on Bush during his 8 years in office. There were even calls for his impeachment. You remember that, right? How much of this current sham are you prepared to place on Obama? None right? Typical.|||There was no civil war in Libya. There was a small group of rag tag hooligans firing off AK47s in the air and that situation was in the process of being policed when Western forces decided to call it a revolution and pile in like a pack of wolves. Gaddafi has enormous support in Libya while the so called rebels have so little support that their only hope of success is to draw in the wolves and then feed on the body of a shattered Libya. Any talk of a humanitarian mission is completely at odds with the past record of the US and the British who traditionally make a game out of shooting brown people with high power weapons.|||Godless Heathen nailed it. Obama didn't start the war, and nothing the conservatives say about Obama makes any sense.
I would prefer we stay out of it but until we get Congress to overturn Citizens United, there is no hope for that.

How can Obama "give a tax break" to people who don't pay taxes?
Obama's tax break for 95% of people includes 40+% of people that do not pay taxes. Plus he is not planning to extend the Bush tax cuts, therefor increasing taxes on 49% or tax payers.|||he has to call it a "tax break" because calling it what it really is... Marxism, socialism and/or communism might scare too many people (though not those on the left).
it's his way of redistributing wealth.

in Obama-land hard work is penalized not rewarded.|||You are trying to argue semantics. 95% of taxpayers will get a break. You can't give a tax break to someone who doesn't pay any taxes to begin with.|||He doesn't - he gives them "earned income credits" which they then get as cash as a "refund".

Why is Obama opening the door for possible prosecution of Bush officials relating to torture?
The question of whether to bring charges against those who devised justification for the methods of torture "is going to be more of a decision for the attorney general within the parameters of various laws and I don't want to prejudge that," Obama said.|||He's right. The president isn't the Attorney General of the United States. While he may be inclined to let sleeping fidos stay asleep, and we certainly know that a lot of folks agree with that, we do have a new A/G and this guy not only wants to make his bones, he has both the right and obligation to enforce the law. Politically it's more in Obama's favor to let this thing alone, at least in the short term while some of our other problems take up his attention, but he's not the last word on the subject. My personal opinion is that some people need to go to jail. First, because it 'is the law', and second, if the rest of world sees that we don't allow our government officials go off the reservation, that law and order applies to everyone, and that no, you don't get to abuse your power, our prestige in the world rises and so does our leadership. If we don't lead....who will? China comes to mind...hows that for a world future? I hate to think that Obama has said things he didn't really believe about being against prosecution of Bush administration personnel, but I suspect he did. I hope he doesn't make a habit of that. There are those who say the intel we got was worth shredding the Constitution, and maybe it was, and maybe that will lighten the sentences of those that broke the law...if they did break the law. Until there's a judge and jury we won't know..and we deserve to know. It's our country! My opinion!

They committed war crimes!!|||It's about time.|||This has been his intention even before he was put in office. He likes Kass.|||This is nothing but political retribution. Probably some sore feelings dating back to the Clinton impeachment. Washington loves to play its games while there are serious problems to deal with in our country.
Probably just a side show to distract attention from Congress' lack of oversight which lead to the housing crisis.

What has Obama done that is so radically different from George Bush?
If Obama is a radical leftist, what policies has he done that are so horribly different from Bush? Pretty sure he kept Bush's Sec of Defense and most of Bush's guys in the Treasury.|||He has had the gaul to actually try to help American Citizens.|||As George Bush left office he set in place the first TARP stimulus package but since then Obama has kicked the spending and entitlements into high gear as he has sky rocketed our debt to over $12 Trillion, ensuring that our current economic policy is unsustainable and will most surely result in economic collapse - IF allowed to continue unabated. But is this what Obama wants - only so he will be there as the “hero” to pick up the pieces?
Throughout the years truthfulness and honor have been a problem but with the Obama administration they have been kicked into high gear and now executed, blatantly in front of a shocked American taxpayer. Evidenced by Obama’s low level dig at the Supreme Court during his speech - real cheap politics - and I believe he will pay for this in the long run. Tape after tape can be shown of Obama lying and members of Congress lying - it is disgusting to watch and these traitors MUST be voted out of office at the first chance the taxpayers get.
Jobs - Obama’s idea of jobs is FDR’s idea - of having the new jobs be paid for by TAX DOLLARS, instead of creating an atmosphere where the private industry can create those jobs. Obama wants to create new GOVERNMENT jobs - this is insanity. He wants there to be MORE government workers than private industry workers - All that does is ensure his vote from all those government workers - a nifty plan indeed.
Private Industry - Obama is openly against private industry and the way the American economy operates. He believes that the government and only the government should replace many of these industries - as they feel they could do it “better” and “more efficient” - but we all know that is a joke. The government should just get out of private industry’s way, lower their taxes, offer employment incentives and private industry would boom once again. Obama is clueless.
The Economy - Since Obama took office, the confidence level in the American economy has plummeted. His economic policy of spend and tax is destroying the American economy, consumer confidence and small businesses across this great land. He is destroying the economy rather than helping it to rebound.
Global Warming - A complete fraud and scam. Even after the information comes out that the scientists were incredibly, withholding conflicting data - the politicians steam ahead. We even had many of our delusional politicians still spend millions of tax dollars just to go to Copenhagen as they tried to further the scam in the faces of a now “on to them” American public. It was and is a complete disgrace.
The Constitution - Obama is doing all he can to avoid the Constitution. Nothing he does goes by the Constitution - all shown by his blatant corruption, bribes, back room deals, appointing of controversial “czars” and hatred for Capitalism and the American way. He wants to grow the government into a monstrosity - that the Constitution would never recognize. For America to remain a free and independent Republic, the Constitution MUST be the focus of all the government does.
Capitalism - Oh, this is a dirty word for Obama . He hates capitalism. For him it is either Marxism, Communism or Socialism - actually he prefers a mixture of the three. Obama wants to control everything - with capitalism he would be out of control - the free markets would be in control - the survival of the fittest would be in control. With capitalism, EVERYONE would have a chance to better themselves - but under Obama’s rule and plan - all would be financially equal - none would be greater than the other, financially.

BUT, the people will prevail. Obama’s trash politics will NOT overcome the will of the American people - something Obama and his crew will soon learn. o_O|||Obama has raised the Deficit and the Unemployment rate to levels that Bush could never do!
You da man Obama!|||He repealed the Patriot Act, got us out of the wars, reduced the deficit, and...oh wait...
*gall|||Obama spent 3 trillion dollars, but you got the...|||Spent more money than Bush and the remainder of the previous Presidents combined in a year.|||Conservatives warned and nobody listened: BUSH III|||He was able to get the country(not just the opposition) to hate his party within a year.|||That my friend's is Hope and Change.
How can Obama say he will work through the party lines with such a liberal voting record?
John McCain has voted independently, only 90 % with fellow Republicans. Barack Obama voted almost 100 % of the time with fellow Democrats. So who is the one breaking through party lines? What are your opinions? |||A fair question. I really don't care that much about comparing percentages - most politicians vote with the party, however, it is clear that one of these candidates has been finding ways to propose and enact bipartisan legislature for a very long time, and I find no indication that the other candidate, on anything significant, can cooperate with politicians not of his own party.|||All you Obama lovers, go do your homework and see who you are REALLY voting for. He is most definately not who some of you star struck,pied piper following, you-tuber, entitlement generation think he is. He says what he thinks disenfranchised people want to hear. He is an empty shirt, I emplore you to check out the facts and his record.
The REAL Obama spent ALL his political time in Chicago helping his buddies and getting free lunches and benefits for the poor (buying votes), thats a FACT, go check. Thats all he will do if he becomes president. And it will be at the expense of 80% of the population. He will never serve a second term if elected as he will be exposed. Don't let it happen even once. Vote libertarian, vote green, vote anything but for him.
I am not a republican, racist or an angry Hillary lackey, just a common sense independant moderate who does not get glassy eyed for supposedly sweet talking hucksters. Do your homework and you will most likely agree with me.

Why is Obama not willing to increase the deficit one penny for health insurance?
Is health insurance less important than the bailout of banks, auto makers, etc, which has already increased our deficit many billions?
Is the forced subsidy of health insurance by those who don't want health insurance a new indirect tax to pay for Obama's plan?|||Because the Republicans have given him enough crap already for the the 700billion dollar stimulus check he put in place. The money will most likely slowly be paid off through taxes in the net 100years or so.

See your political standing at http://www.bestpoliticalquiz.com|||huh?|||Are you saying people without health insurance that lost it dont want it? Im done I give up, aparently I dont understand the world anymore.|||Its a lie.|||Because if he did, it would make him a liar.|||Who are those that don't want health insurance? A new fringe group?|||SERIUSLY??? MORE????????????????? DO you not know he has almost quadrupled the defecite??????????|||You don't understand or didn't understand his speech, nor did you read the Dem's health care reform package. Go back, check this out and edit your question.|||If you honestly think this program will not increase the deficit, think again.|||most likely the company's the country now owns considerable stake in will help pay our 10+ trillion (thanks bush!) deficit off.
he's unwilling to essentially add this expense to the country's credit card. he wants to raise the taxes on the richest 25% (something like that) to the tax bracket that was during the clinton era (36-39%) as compared to bush's (33-36%). which will give us an extra 1.5 trillion over the next 10 years for healthcare.
you will NOT pay anything extra unless you, as a single individual, are making like 80k grand a year, or 160k for couples. its going to be the rich man's burden. Poor them, people starving, and they won't get that Van Gogh until AFTER their christmas party. bah!
the stuff above is kinda crappy, i'm confused
but you should consider, my step-father's USPS retirement benefits are $500/month....minus $400 a month for health insurance for 2.
he retired in 05 after 30 years of faithful service to recieve a $100/month in benefits after insurance takes it all, its ridiculous.
seriously, there are people in this country that not been to a dentist or a doctor in years because we have to accomodate a minimum $100 a patient to keep their standard of living...all because their equipment is "sooo expensive" and they are troubled with "malpractice insurance" which only accounts for 1% of our countries medical spending. hah|||Did you hear Joe Wilson? He lies.|||He actually DEMANDS increasing the deficit by TRILLIONS.
His claim to the contrary is EASILY proved a lie: OBAMA said it is.|||Well, by his lie not to increase the deficit, he is seeking to confuse the public. He spoke of "savings" in the future. Spending future money before it exists is "deficit spending", well that is what the Dems called it when G W Bush did it with their approval.
Insurance is sharing risk --- if you forbid a company from not accepting a sure lose --- you are then force companies to go out of business.
Many people pay about $2800/year for home insurance --- if the government forbid insurance companies from not covering cases of arson, why would anyone buy it at all. Pay for the insurance, then set fire to the house --- new house.|||i think its not true

Why is Obama now claiming 3 years for an Iraq pullout when he promised 18months during the election?
McCain is the one who said it would take 3 years to get most troops pulled out. People should be outraged about Obama lies. The main reason he won was due to opposition to the war and now he repeats what McCain said 6 months ago.|||See what happens when you place too much faith in an empty suit?|||You neeed to learn how to count and/or multiply again. 3 years is 36 months, 18 months is year and a half. Obama said 16 months to get troops out of Iraq,in his campaign, which is only 3 months less than the current 19 month plan. How have you managed to make it into the sixth grade when it is quite obvious that you still don't have the ability to count on your fingers correctly?|||When Obama was born his mother took him to a fortune teller
The fortune teller put little Barack in a room with a huge ham and a
stack of money
They left the room ~leaving little Barack alone
The fortune teller said *if Barack plays with the ham he will be a farmer*
and if he plays with the money he will be a banker*
When they returned after 30 minutes little Barack was sitting on the
ham counting the money*
*Aha says the fortune teller ~~Little Barack will be a Politician*
Thus we have the tale of why the Little Barack first got his first taste
of Politics
This pork bill is the dream come true for the Democrats and
President Barack Obama.
The moral of the story is
Don't believe anything what you hear and half of what you see|||I have a very strong feeling that again its the nexus between few countries trying to wage wars and follow the concept of divide and rule. Despite Obama trying his best to respect sovereignity of other countries - I have a very strong beleif that its the ZIONISTs and the Jewish masterminds behind it and forcing Obama to action relatively late allowing them to gain more benefit within the time window.|||Because Republicans are fighting everything he does. republicans will pay dearly.|||BECAUSE POLITICIANS ARE ALL LIARS AND THEY WILL SAY ANYTHING TO BE ELECTED.
The sooner you figure that out the better, not one politician has ever doe anything that they promised|||Because he used 18 months as a marketing tool to get himself elected. Now that he's in office he realized "holy sh*t, there's no way to get all those guys and all that gear back here in 18 months".|||Forget about John McCain. Barack Obama is the man.|||He promised a lot of things to get elected.|||Because he's in.

Why does Obama want to pass a law to make government contractors reveal who they make political donations to?
To make sure the contractors are donating to the Obama friendly politicians before any contracts are awarded?|||Perhaps the disclosures should be required after the contracts are awarded. The purpose is to let taxpayers know how their money is being used by government contractors to influence government. I can understand that Republicans would be upset either way.|||He wants to know who not to give contracts to based on their donations to democrats. Liberals rant that Republicans get donations from corporations and this is the Chicago thug way of scaring corporations from donating to Republican candidates.
It is obvious that the good of the country (the best contractor for the job) is not as important to Obama as his own political power.|||To make evident when political donors are being rewarded, of course.
Something like the Koch brothers donating heavily to Wisconsin governors and said governor planning to sell off Wisconsin power plants WITHOUT BIDDING.|||It could just as easily work the other way too, that is those donating to Republican causes would also be known, and since parties trade off on living in the White House it really would be difficult to say it would only benefit, or dismay, one side.|||Because contractors, unlike government employee unions, do not give 95% or more of their political campaign contributions to Democrats. That is something that our racist ex-crackhead Marxist President will not tolerate.|||To put the "squeeze" for money on contractors. Yes, your statement looks to be correct. It is not the governments dadblasted business who private citizens support except within the framework of existing laws.|||Exactly. Another illegal power grab by the Socialist.
Only "correct" donations from PC companies to the correct candidates.
Any deviation will end any chance you have of getting a contract.|||Yep
Along with our last two presidents, huh?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PSROlfR7W鈥?/a> This might explain it...|||Absolutely. You have it correct. HOPEFULLY, his azz is gone with the next election anyway.|||So we can catch the crooked repubes taking bribes.|||To help stop corruption, if they have nothing to hide then I fail to see what the problem is.|||he wants to be sure he is getting what he considers his.|||because he knows that the republicans are giving our money to the highest bidder not the lowest because his friends will give some of it back in kickbacks..they are crooks and we all know it..|||Or to show America who is paying for the votes of congress? What have the right got to hide?

How long before this Obama economy costs us more than the national debt?
To date the Obama economy has cost the US about $3 trillion in wealth. That's only taken about a month and a half. At that rate, Obama will have eclipsed the entire unfunded obligation of the United States ($53 trillion) by the end of his second year in office. Is that right?|||Don't worry. Your wait will be minimal.|||How can any rational person call this the "Obama" economy? The man has not been in office for three months yet!
This meltdown is a product of decades of fiscal policy, beginning with the deregulation of the market by the Reagan Administration. It was encouraged by the export of capital and manufacturing jobs during the first Bush administration and ignored by Bill Clinton.
Now, thanks to the ideological blinders worn by George W. Bush and his fellow conspirators, we have destroyed our national infrastructure as effectively as the corporations have their own. Our plants are closed or in disrepair because not a penny has been reinvested in current technology. Our schools and roads have been treated to a dose of the same philosophy.
Conservatives take care of their possessions. We accept that as a part of the responsibility of ownership because of the cost of replacement. This is fiscal prudence. Somehow the Republican party has fallen into the hands of people who espouse conservatism but refuse to practice it.
This economic disaster comes from that neglect. Obama may or may not be able to fix the damage, but it is unfair to blame him for the mess we made ourselves. We elected the snake oil salesmen and we drank the Elixir. Once we are suffering from the effects of poison is it fair to blame the doctor if we get sick?
To use a different analogy, we bought a get rich quick scheme and got taken. Is it the policeman's fault, or should we have known better?
The Great Depression was caused by greed and dishonesty in unregulated markets. The South Sea Bubble that collapsed the European economy in the mid 1700s was exactly the same. It isn't as though history has not been warning us; it's just that we didn't listen.
I doubt that the stimulus package will work, because it does not reclaim the lost manufacturing sector. However, the Republican alternative of more tax cuts and deregulation is so gratuitously inadequate we are left with no credible alternative.|||With the bailout plans of last year and this year being entirely deficit spending, the interest payments on the national debt will be the largest item in the federal budget in 2010. That's what happens when you spend more than you make every single year for FORTY FREAKING YEARS. This is not just an Obama problem. Congress has continually raised the debt ceiling since 1969. If you or I did that we'd have to file for bankruptcy. Can you imagine if I called my credit card company and asked them to raise my "debt ceiling"? It's laughable that anyone in Congress thought this could continue indefinitely with no consequences. It's like they've just been passing it off for 40 years until it has gotten to a point where we're almost 11 trillion dollars in debt and somehow are using money we don't have to save banks that don't have money either from collapsing under the weight of their own bad decisions.
It's ludicrous.|||That is something some people fail to understand, no matter how it is explained to them.
Since you can fight ignorance but you cannot fight a refusal to learn, it's pointless trying to explain.
Let me just tell you that we're building a new country, and in the process we _will_ destroy that old country of yours.
It was made by your people, to benefit your people. It was never ours. But now we are the majority. And you'll have to live with it.|||If you don't like the results of Republican policies then don't vote Republican. Stop whining and passing the buck. As you well know, the stock market is down because American companies lost money last year, when Bush policies of churn and burn were still in force.
Your post is exactly why Republican approval rating is in the low teens.|||I dont like it either but how can we lay this at the doorstep of our new Pres when last Pres did same thing? IT is government period, regardless of who the Pres is. I am so sick of politics. Doesnt matter which side you are on because it is all the same.|||It already has...some people are just too stupid to know it.
