Too bad Obama didn't read more about economics prior to starting this mess with irresponsible forced bank loans to unqualified individuals thru his "political action group" ACORN.
How do we know what books Obama has read? Also, If Obama could get the banks to make loans to unqualified people then he is exactly the one that we need. According to the news, banks all around the world are no longer lending to anyone not even themselves. This is experience that we can use!

Some think it is fearmongering, but it is foolish to follow someone blindly just because the networks say what a wonderful person he is without scrutinizing who he is and what he stood for before he became a candidate for President. They rightly scrutinize Palin, but why not Obama too?
and don't forget the fact he is not black (only 5% or less of his ancestry is black) , but Arabian (48% of his ancestry is Arabian). He would be the first Muslim to run the US and the first Arabian to run the country. And this has nothing to do with race - although when mentioning these things, people need to get it right.
Another thing that always bothered me is why would a man running for the office of President of the US be traveling all over the world when he is not even the leader of this country at all until he is elected. I never remember someone of his inexperience ever doing such a thing in the past.
With regard to scrutiny, I think that there has been repeated scrutiny of Obama on the same items over and over again. It is almost as if, we can’t find any negative thing else or his political issues are to sound to argue when compare to McCain’s. We don’t even look at his proposed policies anymore. When was the last time that you have seen a McCain commercial pertaining to the issues?
I don’t understand the importance of looking at his racial make up. I don’t think that we have ever had an American Indian President before. According to science, if you look at Obama’s Mitochondrial DNA, you will find that he is related to the same African woman that we all are.
Also a matter of record, you will find that many government officials have traveled overseas.

Buy Obama a COMPUTER--he says he will reduce taxes on 95% of Americans-over 30% don't pay taxes. Economists say he will increase taxes on 20%.

compared to the last eight years?
We're talking about individual candidates, not particular parties. None of us like what has happened to our country in the last 8 years, but let's not give Bush more power than he already has. He had a full Congress, with Democrats in the majority. If we don't want the "same ole, same ole", then we need a change in people AND policy, and it doesn't seem to matter which political party is in charge, we've got idiocy and power mongering run amuck.

I was watching Fox and a female rep for Obama refused to answer the Question, "Did Obama give $800,000 to Acorn?" She asked her three times and she just spewed talking points. These reps act like STEDFORD WIVES!!!

Mocha, I'm having a hard time following you.
First, I wonder if you have ever had a course in economics. Since you are admonishing young people not to believe their professors, just what do you think capitalism is? Do you think Adam Smith envisioned corporate bail-outs or corporate tax breaks? I can tell you for sure that he did not.
And those "minimum functions" of government should be what? Should the government provide services to the people such as building bridges, roads, providing education, etc?
Do you understand that the government bail out is the most socialistic thing our government has ever done (and it was on the Republicans watch).
I think you should turn off your AM talk radio. It is confusing you.
I totally agree with you. Capitalism is not corporate bail outs. But corporate tax breaks is a myth. Corporations dont pay taxes. The investors do. But when you try to make corporations pay taxes, guess who is going to pay those taxes? Those politicians like Obama are trying to fool us. Raising taxes on the rich is raising taxes on us. We will pay more when we shop. Are you following me? university professors are either socialists or communists. And Adam Smith didnt envision that type of capitalism which is not capitalism but socialism.
And government should provide mainly a federal Armed Forces, infrastructure, each state local police, and mainly protecting each individual freedom, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. As close to these as possible.

Why is it that if I question Mr. Obama I am somehow being negative or called a racist by some? Yet when they question McCain they are merely asking questions they want answered.
First, I have not accused him of being guilty of terrorism by his associations with Mr. Ayers, yet in my line of work, the phrase "In God we trust, all others we verify" is an essential part of how successful we are.
So why is it that a simple acquaintance with Mr. Ayers has to be such a complicated issue by the Obama camp? I must say that with the terroristic conduct of the Weather Underground in the Chicago area where Mr. Obama is from for him to ORIGINALLY say he was unaware of it or Mr. Ayers activity while there, makes me question his knowledge of the things around him.
Then to change that to how he was just "some guy I served on a board with" makes me wonder what he DIDN'T do when they asked him to serve on it. Did he even look into what it did? Find out who's on any board and it'll tell you what it's TRULY about regardless of what it claims.
NOW we hear Mr. Obama says he thought when he served with Mr. Ayers on the board he'd thought Mr. Ayers had been rehabilitated.
OK..so which is it? Didn't know, casual acquaintance or rehabilitated terrorist?
I question his claim he will use the money from the Iraq War to pay for his new programs when the estimated cost of the Iraq War is 200 billion a year and his major end item programs (we all know that these are just the major items and there are more, but lets just focus on them) would run at 211.5 billion. Now if the changes in the AMT does go through he'll need another 50 billion. So where is the approximately 61.5 billion more needed going to come from to cover just THOSE cost much less the "pork" we pay for and still have enough left to balance the deficit as we've been told?
Why would anyone making over $250,000.00 support the man that insinuates they are the problem and who's VP candidate says they haven't been "patriotic" as supposedly they do? It defies logic to willingly support the guy who says he will take more from you, cap your income levels and control your finances.
I want answers, honest answers to actual problems that have been avoided or evaded and if it makes the "government addicts" angry that I think we should take away their fix...so be it.
I want assurances that I won't be lied to, I won't be misled, I don't want to be taken to the shearing pens, fleeced and sacrificed as a member of "We the sheeple".
All you government addicts can scream about how Bush did this or that...he isn't running but is that YOUR excuse for YOUR choice to do the same? What a childish reasoning that is.
But iof you REALLY want to help me find the answers show me information from places that AREN'T from Mr. Obama or a Democratic sight and I won't counter with a McCain site or Republican site, as they will ONLY show what they want their sites to show.
Explain to me, show me neutral sources that support what you say. Not youtube video or partisan sources.
As I said...In GOD I trust.....
