Obama

[Col Forbin]

Jim,
Excellent but scary reading.

Moose,
Have you read Obama's Economic Plan? Can you explain how he can totally eliminate taxes for over 10 million people, reduce taxes for middle class, raise minimum wage each year as needed, double the funding for the after school programs, create a fund for foreclosure victims, regulate that small companies of 25 employees or more (from 50) enact the Family Medical Leave and whatever else and make this work? I don't see any of it working one idea works against the other. Oh yeah I forgot about Healthcare Reform.

I am guessing that not spending the monthly billions in Iraq would be a start.

I dont remember who said it, that I was against the war.YES I am, the war in Iraq, the war in afganistan was and still is the right war. We could have won there if we made the commitment, now there is much doubt. My grandson did his tour in afgan., and is now on his tour of Iraq.The last letter sounded like he will give it up, and get out of the military. One thing he said still bugs me, his platoon sarge, after his tour of iraq, afganistan, had the good fortune to be sent to korea,less than two yrs state side in 10 yrs.
I may be an old timer, and I know one thing about this country, once I voted on the merits of an individual, then we became fractioalized.Never can I recall as much division about politics, if it turns to hate, as it may, are we heading the same way that religeous differences have gone in other countrys.Yes I'm a dem, came from an area that leaned that way, and still does, but at least I did vote for a couple of reps in state elections. Moving here was an eye opener into the benefits of one party rule in an area.The one party ghets elected, does nothing, gets reelected, and does even less, and then claims they are for the common folks and cite their accomplishments.

Exactly!

3 or 4 TRILLION DOLLARS is a lot of money that's been wasted on Iraq.

Money that could have been spent here at home on developing alternative energy resources for our country

I hear today that there is now an electric car that can go 200 miles on one charge and can be recharged back up in 4 hours. And the batteries are much better now. And cheaper too.

We are not seeing Iraq paying for the Iraq War with the Iraq oil money! Didn't YOUR MAN CHENEY promise that Iraqi Oil would pay for the Iraqi War. But the truth is that your man CHENEY reached into our back pockets to take our hard earned money to pay for the war in Iraq.

And when it comes time to replace and repair all the used military equipment who's going to pay for that? You and me that's who. Iraqi's oil is selling on the market but somehow that's not meeting the worlds supply now. But we had plenty of oil for the world before the Iraq war.

Is Cheney making money off the Iraqi War and who's getting the billions of dollars from the Sale of Iraqi Oil now? It use to be Saddam Hussein that got the Iraqi Oil Money. So who's getting it now. If Iraq is making money on their oil sales then why are we using US tax dollars to rebuild Iraq? Why are they not using their own money to rebuild the Iraq cities?

Bush/Cheney is tax you to pay for the Iraqi War Folks.

Moose I am with you on your last post ...Just where to hell is the money going
? I wish my dear old departed dad had invested in oil stocks and ammunition factories cause my mom would not be worried about how to pay for her medications or groceries. Instead he invested in Anheiser Busch Oh wait a minute maybe we have stock somewhere after all cause looks like the last great vestige of an American company is leaving us too 45 BILLION for a brewery business . Dad, too bad you didn't get some stock certificates with all the Bud you bought over the years..

Moose I guess you have never heard of any " Little Johnny Jokes in your lifetime "

I guess I should have stated that my last post about Hussein Obama was a joke, in case some people don't recognize a joke when they read one.....

[Moose1am]

Well EXCUSEEEEEE MEEEEE!

Didn't look like any good jokes I have seen on here.

You want to call it a joke? OK fine. But it didn't look like a joke at all.

Yea I have heard most of the "little Mary Jane" joke but not one was anything close to your post.

Ask not what your country can do for you.... Ask what you can do for your country!

I doubt that Cheney would agree with the above statment!
