Yup, you're right..I mis-read an article. But everything else I wrote is dead on. That's the best you can do? One sentence? My bad for being wrong about our current gov. going to Iraq...which has nothing to do with Obama's inexperience and the N word..lol.
I'll offer my post again.
Unreal. The original post I responded to claimed that as the reason to vote for the man. Period. Twist it how you want, the post is there in black and white (pardon the pun) and that was the sole reason cited, with the intent of voting soley based on that reason typed there as well. Nothing about issues or accomplishments. If you are going to try and defend Obama's record against McCain's, you're the one that needs to do the research. Did you research ACORN and Ayers? LOL. Probably not. And that Rev. White, he's a beauty too.. telling us we "deserved" 9/11? Come on.
During the debate Obama stated (saw it myself) that Healthcare is a "right'...that's Socialist pure and simple. Ask anyone who's been living in Canada or the UK for the past 5 yrs how they like their gov't sponsored healthcare. And it would bring about change alright..Calif has proven gov't heathcare will bankrupt the them..imagine that in all 50 states. The only reason we ever started taxing was for a combined military to protect from invasion. That's why we're 50 United States and not 50 separate countries. Everything else is gravy..your schools, all those lovely liberal programs, roads, etc. heck ever fire fighters who will come and use the most up to date high tech equipment to put your fire out if your house and possessions are threatened. (Ever been to europe? Asia? How about a 3rd world country? Hav you ever even been to Canada? Ever seen THIER "up to date" equipment? ANY of those countries I mentioned..ever seen what they offer their citizens? Didn't think so..) But I digrss..There was one reason and one reason alone for taxes. Military.
And if you actually had looked into Obamas plan, he will give $1000 in one hand and take $3000 with the other...and no not just from the person who makes $250K annually..read the fine print my dear..it's not a real plan at all. He will kill small business which WILL affect the economy. Read his plan. If your going to speak of it, don't just parrot a cadidates words, read it for yourself. I did. The man is a LIAR, and I am scared of him like no other.
Those "big business" tax breaks you spoke of? Do you know how tax breaks really work? I suggest you look that up, too...larger corp's get them...but with a caveat...they hav to re-invest them back into hiring people..thus productivity goes up, and they wind up paying the same DOLLAR amount in taxes, so the gov't loses Nothing. Understand? NOTHING. Or very little, but they usually wind up paying more. It gives that money as a stimulus to creating more jobs. I could go on & on, but unless you know feduciary process, you won't get it. Don't believe everything that's pumped at you via the cathorade tube...media wants you to watch their (ads) shows and the mulolet wrapper wants you to buy their paper..
My senator Charlie Christ has been to Iraq four times. A senator who aspires to the job of Commander in Chief should hav vested interest long before 6 months before he hopes to take office.
OK..now to the stock market "fiasco". Your using some pretty broad terms here which you probably googled, but let me brief you real quick.
The stock market has NOTHING to do with anything you referenced. If you knew what you were talking about you'd know that the japanese and UK markets are getting hit hard as well, a result of GLOBAL impact. It's not just the US and it;s not Pres Bush. We will pay for the bad loans, but bailouts are nothing new. You are probably not old enough to remember Chrysler and Lockheed. The dollar amount is higher on this bailout (each time goes up) because our GNP (each year goes up) is the highest it's ever been as well.
Also the stock market will Never see a crash like in the Great Depresion because the reason for that was you could buy stocks on credit back then. Today you must fund 90% up front before purchase. There's a lot of other particulars, but I am not a typist...it takes a long time and quite frankly the INET is a huge time-burner for me...you answer 4 emails and an hour has gone by. I could spend 8 on this issue alone.
The election isn't about skin color. If Gen. Colin Powel were running I'd vote for him in a hearbeat. I am promoting Condoleeza Rice for 2012. I hope she runs. (Think of it, if you want someone to be "proud of", black and Woman at the same time). Plus she has a focused, in-depth knowledge of how the world operates. To say "Why would Barrack Obama go to Iraq" is a clear indication that you don't grasp the magnitude of the job as Commander in Chief. He's not running as a game-show host or media spokesman..he's taking the helm of The Most Powerful Nation on Earth. Obama has been a Senator who's responsibilitiesw are to his country. If he feels qualified enough to run the country, he should had invested of his knowledge of that job loong before 6 months ago.
Lastly, the Truth is you've never been affected by slavery. Period. Get off it. What a crock. The best your race of your generation can name about slavery is the history of it. It's been beaten to death and using it as a crutch is nothing more than drama-seeking behavior to shirk responsibility for your own emotional well-being. The only mature thing to do is to speak about the merits of what you HAV experienced in life. As I see it little girl, there's along way that you hav to go.
Now, go use that anger towards something good..like real information.
Good Luck.
You mention here that our President is taking the helm of the Most Powerful Nation on earth, yet you seemed to have forgotten that McCain is 72 years old and his pick for VP is a woman with no experience. Well, that scares the heck out of me! A soccer mom as the most powerful woman in the world, with no experience at all. Haven't you even thought about that at least once during this election?
This two-syllable expression is arguably the most divisive word in society. Dr. Phil tackles this touchy topic with help from a panel of outspoken luminaries: civil rights activist Rev. Al Sharpton; legendary comedian and writer Paul Mooney; CSI actor and author Hill Harper; comedian Sheryl Underwood and conservative radio talk show host Michael Graham. First, is there a double standard that allows African-Americans to use this sensitive word, while non-blacks are forbidden? The debate heats up when Rachel, a white guest, says she calls her husband the N-word all the time. Then, should hip-hop artists be censored or fined for using the N-word in their songs? Becky says rappers promote negative stereotypes with their lyrics, but find out who Rev. Al Sharpton thinks should face the music. Plus, does tone or intent make a difference when using the N-word? See what Dr. Phil thinks and share your thoughts here.
