Obama: "Yes" to Higher Taxes, "Meh" to Spending Cuts

So i think that it is totally bogus that obama wants to raise the taxes on the poor and give the government more spending room. NO! this reminds me of the old days when they taxed the poor and not the rich, UH HELLO the rich are the ones that have money to spare the poor don't. in the united states we have the most poverty because the rich keep getting richer and the poor keep getting poorer. its insane to give the government more money and more freedom to spend, because they don't use our money to help us they use it for retarded things. the government is just a big fat money greedy power hungry monster. there was money taken away from the natural disaster account and put into the war account, so when Katrina happened we didn't have enough money to help them out. Obama needs to think real hard about the people in america that are suffering and not about the ones who aren't. if obama wins the election there is going to be more poverty than ever because the poor and the middle class aren't going to have enough money to pay taxes and the rich well they're rich they got money to spare. Think about it!!!

Bush has been a terrible president, but these two democrats wold be much worse. All the things you dislike about Bush, such as a rampant foreign policy, will be worse under the Democrats. Remember Clinton's meals-on-wheels foreign policy that saw us bombing civilians all over the world and committing troops to decades long occupations? Obama will be worse; he won't get out of Iraq, but he will send US troops and funds (nearly 1 trillion dollars currently proposed) into Africa, probably under UN authority (like under Clinton our military will be wearing blue helmets and taking orders from corrupt UN dictators). Domestically Obama and Clinton will, like Bush, further bloat the federal government with new initiatives that are supposed to help the poor (remember Bush's prescription drugs?) but instead merely rob the people of their property to line corporate interest pockets. So a vote for Clinton or Obama is a vote for Bush's third term.

Disillusionment

There is a tremendous need to create more disillusionment with the federal government. In that regard Obama is the best poltician to happen in years.

He just might get us to a trend reversal in domestic policy, as Bush hopefully has with foreign policy.

Obama's Budget

So Obama's got an economic pastor as well ... his name is Rev. Dhimmi Carter. No wonder Matthews has a tingling in his leg.

"The only good thing Hillary ever said I quote "It takes a village to raise a child" which i totaly agree with."

The village better keep it's hands off my children.

"But being a child advocate won't get you into the white house."

That's right, because no body cares about the children. It's not like anyone would ever vote for something that they thought would benefit thier children. That would be absurd, right?

Did it ever occur to you that maybe most people don't consider what passes for 'child advocacy' to be actually good for the children?

"I had my say."

Yes, you did. And the sad thing is that you probably don't wish you could unsay it.

barack

This man is such a light-weight....inarticulate to boot (guess the "great oratory" is written by someone else and put on the teleprompter). His response is riddled with "you knows" and no meat. Does he even understand basic theories of economics? Where's he been for 20 years that he doesn't know tax cuts PRODUCE revenue and hikes CUT revenues? Does he even realize that MOST Americans own stock, via pension plans or 401K's or own homes which appreciate, thus jacking up the cap gains rate will HURT the economy? Wow..what a maroon!

Barack is just making things up as he goes.

I don't think Barack has thought about the economy (or anything else?), I hope he isn't just stupid. I don't see how people can feel that he can lead our nation.

Sure, his minister is a racist, no wonder his wife is miserable. If you go to that church to get spiritually renewed, you don't come home with any spiritual renewal.

The scary thing is that his problem is not the minister, the problem is that Barack is not capable of leadership.
