Scream it from the rooftops

I've never bought into the whole Obama thing anyway, but now that I've gone from "not being for him" to being "vehemently against him" I wanna scream the truth from the rooftops...because the American people are not getting it from the media (which is the only way that a large majority of them get any kind of information). I'm tired of people using the catch phrases of the media to tell me why they're going ot vote for Obama...READ PEOPLE! Find out for yourselves why this guy is NO GOOD for our country! His shady background alone should say enough to that effect!

I'm not tired of him...I'm downright bone weary exhausted of him. And I have at least four years of him to go. ug.

How can anyone possibly assign blame to the Bush Administration when corporate greed has penetrated and infected the banking industry with these crises?

I would never profess to be an expert in the Banking Ind. or Wall Street, but one would have to conclude that greed is at the heart of the banking issue. Banks have continued to over extend themselves and customers by financing homes to individuals that didn’t actually qualify. People have been losing their jobs as companies continue to outsource their business, thanks to NAFTA, which was stimulated by Bill Clinton and his administration and later found to be as suspected, One World Trade Organization, making the crises inevitable.

We believe his continuances are taking America to a One World Government or better known as socialism. The Constitution clearly warns us of such devices, not withstanding the Fairness Doctrine. “…But when a long train of abuses and usurpations pursuing invariable the same object, evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty to throw off such government and provide new guards for their future security.”

GWB cannot be held accountable for every single investment or business decisions; however, McCain has insisted, for a good while, that we put new regulations in place with banks and Wall Street to protect homeowners, private business and investors and many are now seeing his value by his constant reasoning.

Balloon payments is never a solution for purchasing a car much less a home. But because of greed, ten’s of thousands of homeowners are finding themselves in foreclosure, leaving the banks rightfully high and dry and broke and unfortunately at the expense of Americans. Earlier today on GMA, Pete Peterson former head of the Fed--discussed the economic crises. It was clear McCain had the understanding necessary to control the banking industry and investment firms. Obama has declined to weigh in on the matter, but continues to assign blame toward McCain. Where’s his promised leadership now?

"Change" one-liner getting TIRESOME, LAME

Heather,

You are right, dead on.

It's about time Obama clearly defines what he means by "Change".

It's become mechanical, robotical and TIRESOME.

Obama prefers leaving the definition of "Change" vague so people start filling in the blanks of what "Change" really is and walk away thinking Obama agrees with their idea of "Change".

This is pseudo-intellectualism. Only people who don't THINK deep enough buy into the GENERIC ONE-LINER of "Change". That's why Obama has so many votes from teenagers, who go with their emotions more than their head.

Obama's "change"

This election campaign reminds of Russia in 1917. Like Obama, Lenin promised massive change. And like Obama, he didn't define it. And like the Russian masses, many Americans are buying into his message.

Obama is right about one thing: we are at a crossroads. We can elect him, and experience the wonders of communism. Or we can reject him and reaffirm our traditional values which include personal responsibility.

BINGO

BINGO

Slogan Change

"Change" as a slogan is meaningless unless it's defined.

Media Bias

Obama hasn't defined "change" because no one in the media has made him. Never in my life have I seen the media so biased in favor of one candidate. 2008 will go down in history as the year journalism died. Thank God I cancelled my cable subscription and now get my news almost exclusively from the radio and the internet. I would encourage others to do the same.

Change this channel or just toss the TV?

I'm so sick of the MSN shoving Obama's face down my throat.
