"Government run healthcare". You mean the healthcare from PRIVATE INSURANCE CORPORATIONS? Thats your "ZOMG GOVERMENT TAKEOVER!!1!"?
That comes from the fact that his Obamacare requires people to buy health insurance which is an extreme stretch of the general welfare clause and power that only the state governments truly have. That is the major issue for a lot of people about Obamacare.
So you're saying McCain, who was out of touch from the economy, was a better candidate to tackle the problems left by Bush better than Obama?
Both were out of touch when it comes to economics and several economists stated that the country wouldn't improve much at all economically under either of them...what do you know they also happened to be right as well.

By supporting McCain you would be supporting an additional war in Iran,
That is still a very real possibility under Obama.
I am among the very few that said "I don't care." And that's because there were no options other than approve or disapprove.
One of the main things that people seem to overlook is that the seeds for problems were planted before Obama took office. (That election was challenging: a "tax and spend liberal"...or Sarah Palin anywhere near the White House). Back to the train of thought, the collapse of GM and Wamu happened VERY soon after he took office. The election took place in Nov 2008 and he started "work" in January 2009. And it's all his fault? He inherited an unprecedented bill of goods, save what FDR inherited.
He got on national television and claimed after being in the white house that the economy was his now. That "the buck stops with him" he has also had over three years in office and quite frankly whether you loved or hated bush I really don't believe Obama has done better then if Bush was still in office and that is saying a lot about how terrible Obama has been at running this country and contributing to the lack of unity in the nation. Bush was horrible but then so is Obama as well.
If you are talking about what our country was becoming under the Bush's with considerable aid from Clinton, I sincerely hope to destroy as much of that evil as possible. The country I want to see will not be dominated by a perverted form of crony capitalism being financed by debt to pay for a bloated military engaged in thuggish terror for the Big Oil, the World Bank and the IMF. I want a country where we have Equal Opportunity and “Liberty and Justice for All.” I want a country where the same Law applies to all and not one Law for the us and no Law for the very wealthy.
This is far likelier with President Obama than with any Republican.
I'm not voting in the poll, I have my crystal ball and can see the votes from the contributors of the thread
Could have kept dumb dubs and it would have been the same. Just another clueless azzwipe.
