[/qb][/QUOTE]yea I feel yea. But I'm more interested in how my country fairs before my personal interests. [/qb][/QUOTE]Well that is all fine and dandy, but you must really consider your realm of influence first before helping/considering others or it could end up a bad case of the blind leading the blind. And that starts with your own home then trickles out. Although your thought is a noble one, its just not realistic to consider all situations. You consider your then those that closely resemble or trail yours. (IMO) [/qb][/QUOTE]I'll agree with you on some of your points thus far; however, just because you personally ("as a taxpayer") have benefited, it does not mean that Obama can be considered a success as a president. I didn't necessarily vote for McCain; I simply voted against Obama. As you said, all politicians are crooks - fine, I'm with you all the way on that count, be they Republican or Democrat party members. As far as I'm concerned, I hope and pray Obama and his entire administration and line of thinking is a one-and-done deal. Call me "bandwagon" if you must, but the label of Socialism is one that is an apt description of the changes he is attempting to initiate in this country. What happened to his promise of disclosure, that the health-care hearings would be broadcast live on C-SPAN, or his promise that all bills would be on the White House website for five days prior to signing? It's too bad that he was elected based on who he is and what he looks like, rather than how suitable he was to lead this country. People got caught up in the Bush-backlash (and perhaps rightly so), but to cast votes blindly for someone because they are a "first for the country" and whatever other flimsy rhetoric was used to bait the under-educated into supporting him continues to be a disaster. Now, I am in no way saying that Obama is a sub-par president because of the state of the union and the state of our economy at the time being - this was a problem to be inherited by whomever took over the reigns, be it McCain, Dean, or even Nader. As mentioned previously, I hope that the voters who made the mistake in 2008 will see the bigger picture, much as 23109 said - forgoing personal interests for the sake of the country as a whole. Just because Obama's record (by a looooong shot) deficit spending hasn't affected us on a personal level (yet), I hope there are enough level-headed voters with sufficient foresight to see the direction the country is headed if we continue to allow the current administration to guide the ship. /rant off :patriot: [/QB][/QUOTE]
