I check this often. Ehhh so far pretty decent...

I'm ecstatic he was able to lift the stem cell research funding ban from the Bush administration. That alone was worth it.

since when is the first time home buyer tax credit 18k?

I think it's a typo for 8k. Not a homeowner myself so I'm not sure.

I think the guy you said "did a great job of articulating some fine points to consider about our new president" didn't do such a great job after all

Why do people act like we live in a dictatorship? The president does not have that much control over your life. The person in office doesn't determine whether you can be successful or not. Like I stated before if more people would get off there *** and do something with their life things would be a lot better.

If you can't forgive someone for a typo and listen to the message they're sending instead then I'm not sure what to tell you.

It sucks that the country is in the shape that it is in, and a demo is in office. Cause when it goes under.... everyone will blame the Obama supporters and Obama... when the country has been in a downward dspiral for the past couple decades with both demo and repubs.

But Obama hasnt really followed through with ANY of his promises... I had to laugh my *** off when I heard he is sending more troops to Iraq. When the majority of his voters voted for him cause he was agaisnt the war.

HAHAHAHAH you voters got owned!!

I voted obama and Im glad I did.

I thought palin was a retard from watching her speeches. And I didnt really like mccain in the first place.

It was an easy choice for me.

On the war, you can trace the hypocrisy quite a ways back.

I remember after the 2006 Senate vote, Nancy Pelosi announced that the Democrats had won what was basically a referendum on the war on terror.

She then proceeded to vote in support of every Bush bill for the WoT.

Everything here is true. Parties didnt cause out problems, politicians caused them. Politicians on both sides. Everyone had their part, and it built up for a LONG time.

I just dont see the logic behind solving the problem of overspending with more spending.

Nancy Pelosi is also the one who wanted the "Truth Commission" to find out what everybody in Washington knew about any possible torture in Guantanamo Bay, then when it turns out that she was the first one to know she calls the CIA liars and Obama drops his decision on releasing the Abu Grab photos.

 

[galacticmonkey 5,000+ posts]

Just for the record.

 

[newusername 10+ year member]

Obama should've released those photos; I am not happy with him as a result of that.

Re: One party system...

As Andrew Bacevich put it, the Republicans are elected to balance the budget, and the Democrats are elected to end wars, and neither party has fulfilled those mandates in quite some time.

Like I said, if the spending creates more jobs, that increases your tax base and essentially pays for itself. I look at that as an investment. If the spending is full of pork, than it solves nothing.

In what way is the government well-built to invest? On whose behalf and to whom? If it is about earning the biggest ROI, then where is the analysis for every other company in which money might better be invested?
