TURNING AMERICAS FUTURE OVER TO AN EMPTY SUIT

I think solving the Economy, Islamic Terrorism, and the Energy crisis, might be above the pay grade of a community organizer.

CRYING OBAMA IS TWO FACED ...

Obama keeps crying about how bad the economy is,

but if Americans are hurting so bad, how come they

were able to send Obama 66 million dollars last month?

... And, tonight Obama is asking Americans to give him

$28,500.00 each for the Obama/Streisand fund

raiser dinner. Two faced Obama has no credibility.

No Wright, no Farrakhan, no Pfleger, no Rezko,

no Ayers, no mean Michelle, and, NOBAMA !!!

Lower taxes = Deficit Spending = Bad Long Term Economics

Republicans always complain about high taxes, but how low do they want them? It is easy to create false prosperity by lowering taxes. People and businesses spend their additional after-tax income while the government borrows the difference.

It is like a family borrowing on a credit card or using their home equity to fund a luxury car and that 52" HDTV that they feel they deserve. It may appear to outsider observers that the family is prospering but in the long term, it is bad economics.

The entire Bush Administration has been one of deficit spending. The economy would have appeared far worse than it currently is without this deficit spending. Unfortunately, our economy will suffer for years (if not decades) to come due to this ridiculous goal of lowering taxes without cutting government spending.

Is there a hidden Republican/conservative agenda here? A deeply indebted federal government is a weak federal government.
