I have never voted in my entire life, mostly cause I used to think my vote would never matter.

I can write for days here on what's wrong. I'd rather write about how to make it all right.

Americans no longer want to hear it was the other guys fault, we understand and know things were screwed when Obama got into office.

Those of us w/ our heads on straight also realize that this economy mess is even to big for Govts to fix, that it simply has to play it's self out.

We want things to start changing. For every law that's passed to curtail or place controls on the financial institutions that largely contributed to the economic collapse, there are as many if not double the ways in loop holes for them to get their money in other ways, or lash out at Americans in other fashions.

We want the illegal war in Iraq to come to an end like Yesterday. Many of us expected that to be one of the first things completed when he got into office, and it's time it happened.

We want the past administration to be informed that their prior acts will at the right time be investigated.

We want free health care for the poor and disabled, and elderly, or those unable to afford their own. W/ no strings attached, like the current bill.

What most Americans who voted for the first time such as myself, or came out of the wood work to vote don't want is for OBama's Presidency to be remembered as the President was all talk and no bite, we can't have it nor can the African American community.

I thought you said you never voted in your life; then you said you voted for Obama.

You blame the former administration, yet fail to hold this one accountable. But this administration has done nothing to "fix" the situation and everything to make it worse.

There is no such thing as "free health care" for anybody. Sombody pays for it.

War in Iraq, "Illegal"? Explain. You are just another anti-war, anti-Bush activist. Who are you kidding?

Was 9-11 an attack on the U.S. or wasn't it? Should we have responded, or not? Oh, yeah...right...Iraq didn't attack us. We went there for the Oil, huh?

Sorry. You're busted.

Go peddle your lies elsewhere.

Thanks again nononsenseguy, if you would not have said this, i would have, we think alike. Some act ignorant and act as if 9-11 never ever happened. You dang straight that somebody will be paying for Health Care. Your dang straight that this current administration, is going to push us over the end. And some never saw it coming.

I'm no fool thinking the government is going to hand everything to me on a silver platter while I sit and wait. I'm also no fool thinking the government can spend and not want to tax me more.
I'm also no fool in thinking a bloated central government can run any program within it's budget nevermind bring a profit.

Oh there will be a recovery alright, but not to what we had in the past.
Get your house in order while there is time and be ready for it.

And Obama is trying to get you to cough that up too. He doesn't want to leave you with one spare dime!
