Obama (like Hillary, like McCain) will say ANYTHING to get elected. The end of the republic is at hand, since the populace has learned that it can vote itself the proceeds of the general treasury.

The only candidate that had any interest at all in restoring the US to a constitutional republic never stood a chance.

obama has the same idealist ideas that ted kennedy has. improve those problem areas with increasing the size of the government, create new agencies that you will never get rid of, dump billions into the global warming hoak, instead of drilling for oil in the united states, and off shore, and build nuclear power plants.

Who wrote this article? Someone on the Obama campaign staff? At least some specifics of an Obama adminisration are starting to be mentioned: ending the war (how and when Senator?); tax the rich and business (this appeals to the ignorant); taxing "carbon" polution (I still don't know what that is or how you tax it).
If Obama is elected and we have a Dem Congress, (both are a very real possibility) all I can say is "head for the hills."

Are you two first posters crazy? Did you just forget that someone who is a republican just proposed the biggest federal budget ever? Didn't he and a REPUBLICAN congress pass tons of bills that did nothing but spend on useless pork projects? At least this is BENEFICIAL to the economy.. over the last 6 years corruption has been pretty damn out of control with people passing the spending bills also on the same committees that do investigations on stuff like that. Maybe people who haven't become drunk with power or believe that, as you seem to believe, all the problems in this country is due to democrats. The last 7 years prove otherwise... and all of a sudden its like Hilliary and Obama were running the country during this time.

It doesn't matter anyway, they'll be some new way to discredit what I'm saying and your side does no wrong. Blind by your own beliefs you're echoing the same crap that's said over and over again on the conservative side without any basis in reality.. the echoing is proof enough that you're not a person who makes up their own mind and merely latching on to others beliefs in which you've identified your self as being. Great way to fit in with family and probably your community... but it does this country no good.

er.. sorry exist on all sides of the political spectrum who are like you: unthinking and echoing the same stuff you hear by people whom which you have ingrained into yourself that you are one of. There's no critical thinking at all.

I think there should be some concern with the thought that billions of dollars will magically appear for the next President to spend if the Iraq war "ends." In the days of the Vietnam War (which was a substantially worse situation than Iraq) people often made that argument. The problem is that when we pulled out of Vietnam there wasn't a huge windfall. Instead, as I recall, the country was in economic trouble with rising inflation and economic stagnation and also rising oil prices. And the national debt was exloding. We already were spending huge amounts on the war on poverty and on Vietnam. We didn't have to worry about homeland security much in those years. Moreover, even if we pull out of Iraq we still have a war in Afghanistan and a need for heavy military spending.

I think we should tax the "die-hard" Republicans in this country 80% of thier income to pay for the bombs, bullets, and bridges in Iraq. That way, the big mouthes that say "kick a--" can pay for it also. Put your money where your mouth is - Repubs. Change is a comin'

I have been around for approx 50 plus years....I have seen many changes in the world. It is event that to a point, no matter what the public feels, sees, or does, votes, lives, this world is in an ever changing status and I don't know that we have any control over what is going on. I pray to this worlds higher, and I mean higher power to help direct this world and its people all over the world in it. I just wish for a while we could all live in peace and the suffering stop. The pointing of fingers as to who created what to stop. Is maybe what going on setting a trend for our childrens future and there childrens futures?....I hope that maybe by a large, and I mean a very large chance that the next administration try, all sections of our US government try to make the necessary changes for the world at hand. But on the other hand all of our candidates are people with plenty of funds....so how can they even begin to understand the real working class, lower class, middle class population......someone answer that. Thank you for allowing me to voice my short opinion.

Obama's economic program, shows sound
judgment and widsom.

Creating 2 million jobs to improve our infrastructre will help plenty of families, and the businesses though families spend money.
Concurrently it will increase tax revenues and expand the tax base. This will reduce the the deficit and interest paid out to foreign countries.

ONE NOTE, IF WE ALL HAVE JOBS. THE GOVERMENT GET IT'S TAX MONEY. NO JOBS, NO MONEY.EASY MATH.

People are underestimating the potential danger the economy faces period.

Falling house prices combined with the cost of living increases will take down consumer spending and cause employment levels to fall (and this is a re-inforcing cycle) also note i don't cite unemployment numbers because those do not include those who have stopped looking for a job (they are considered to have dropped out of the work force, nice way to politicize a statistic).

We absolutely need a gov't jobs program to be developed NOW, not when people realize that it was worse than they thought. How will it be paid for? let's see the same way the gov't funds iraq attack ( "war") sorry sheeple, not that i think securing recources for the future is a bad idea, it's just the propoganda behind it is a bad joke. It will be paid by increasing the deficit, as usual. Better to go in more debt to fund something that will actually produce something tangible in the economy, no? Obama's Plan if he has the will to implement it will be a building block for a country that is on the verge of getting a reality check.

Makes a little more sense than mailing people a 500$ check, wow.

Aren't you glad we have a central bank, so they we can go into debt and pay intrest on it, when we could have printed the money (and even with inflation) stayed out of debt. although no gov't has ever paid it's debt back in full.

Obama is proposing what Hillary already said she was going to do a year ago.... lol.
He stole her idea and speech, lol.
Great leader! lol. Great thinking!

No matter! Congress and the Senate run this country! They are the ones that VOTE yes or no on all matters concerning this country.
Blame them for the sorry state of our economy!

All new construction jobs created will go to Mexicans anyway. All illegal! They dominate construction in this country! Millions more will flock to this country! The money will go to Mexico! lol.

This country messed up big time. Instead of Congress raising the minimum wage, year after year, for inflation like they should have...(keeps prices up, and American companies working) they did nothing!

They in fact made it easy for companies to manufacture cheap stuff overseas to keep from paying the American worker more in wages!

American companies care nothing for Americans....They only care about money!
We must all stop buying made in China to turn things around!

Obama or Hillary should bring back our factories from China....Our jobs back from India...And real people on Phones when we call a company! By doing this they will create even more jobs! :)
