dont speak for me, I dont feel "united" under a guy who wants to diminish the hard work I do for myself by saving and working hard and just hand it over to "those who cant afford their credit card bills" to quote him today.
Why must you cling to these myths?
No one is "taking" anything from you. If you are uber wealthy you have been getting big breaks from the government while the other 90% is told to starve, so if you are in the 10%, I have no sympathy for you, if you are in the 90%, get a clue.
Food for thought about Obama and his promised changes from a different perspective.
From Richmond Times-Dispatch, Monday, July 7, 2008 ~
Dear Editor, Times-Dispatch:
'Each year I get to celebrate Independence Day twice. On June 30 I celebrate my
independence day, and on July 4 I celebrate America's. This year is special,
because it marks the 40Th anniversary of my independence.
'On June 30, 1968, I escaped Communist Cuba , and a few months later, I was in
the United States to stay. That I happened to arrive in Richmond on Thanksgiving
Day is just part of the story, but I digress.
'I've thought a lot about the anniversary this year. The election-year rhetoric has
made me think a lot about Cuba and what transpired there. In the late 1950s, most
Cubans thought Cuba needed a change, and they were right. So when a young
leader came along, every Cuban was at least receptive.
'When the young leader spoke eloquently and passionately and denounced the
old system, the press fell in love with him. They never questioned who his friends
were or what he really believed in. When he said he would help the farmers and
the poor and bring free medical care and education to all, everyone
followed. When he said he would bring justice and equality to all, everyone said,
'Praise the Lord.' And when the young leader said, 'I will be for change and I'll
bring you change,' everyone yelled, 'Viva Fidel!'
'But nobody asked about the change, so by the time the executioner's guns went
silent, the people's guns had been taken away. By the time everyone was equal,
they were equally poor, hungry, and oppressed. By the time everyone received
their free education, it was worth nothing. By the time the press noticed, it was
too late, because they were now working for him. By the time the change was
finally implemented, Cuba had been knocked down a couple of notches to Third-
World status. By the time the change was over, more than a million people had
taken to boats, rafts, and inner tubes. You can call those who made it ashore
anywhere else in the world the most fortunate Cubans. And now I'm back to the
beginning of my story.
'Luckily, we would never fall in America for a young leader who promised change
without asking, what change? How will you carry it out? What will it cost America
?
'Would we?'
Manuel Alvarez, Jr.
There is a differance " This is the United States of America" and some of us will never allow our guns to be taken away without the biggest fight any nation has yet seen .
dont speak for me, I dont feel "united" under a guy who wants to diminish the hard work I do for myself by saving and working hard and just hand it over to "those who cant afford their credit card bills" to quote him today.
Your hard work is diminished by the incredible debt we owe to other nations. How's it feel owing the Government the equivalent of a car, in 8 years time under the current Administration?
But Juan Williams, Nina Easton and Fred Barnes are bashing it. LOL

All that and they now realize Obama's gonna kick McCain's patootie in November. They're scared as hell.
Nina Easton and Juan Williams are pretty hard core democrats. They, amoung many others, appear on FOX representing the democrat POV.

Heres why your jobs went overseas.

That is a greatness that moves people from within, something Republicans could never, ever, understand, as it is bred of hope.
