Predictions.........what will the New Admin change FIRST.

Col I agree with you, but you cant open closed minds. The thing about narrowing down the war on terror means that we will go after the one who started this , OSAMA BIN LADEN, like we should have, he will get us out of Iraq, we should have never went there in the first place, Bush even admitied that there were no weapons of mass destruction there, Bush should and could be charged with war crimes as he invaded a nation with unjust cause, Bin Laden got what he wanted, they struck the towers, which were a tribute to our finaceal success, the thing the Terrosits despise in us, and it worked, the war in Iraq has helped fuel our countrys money mess, so in turn they won as we are now struggling. Tax cuts to the rich, come on they DO NOT NEED ANY MORE TAX CUTS, Bush made all his friends richer, he almost destroyed this country, due to his greed and stupidness. Regan has rolled over in his grave after seeing what the republican party has become, a party of greed, hate, and self rightgoness, sorry for spelling, whaty I am seeing on this board right now is just shy of racisim and hate from some of you, an dthat is not right, this country is in trouble, and some of you say you love this country, but after seeing some of these posts and the other posts about the inauguration, I truly wonder where your loylity lies. This same narrow mindness is what has propelled this country BACKWARD, yes BACKWARD, now there is a little hope but some will never be happy, and can't due to some will not open their minds to change. We needed this as a country, we need to heal we need to put this stupid race thing aside and let the man do his job as WE ELECTED him to do. It does seem funny that the repub's did more to hurt Mcain than help him, Sarah Palin as VP, really what a Repub blunder, it appears to me that the threw the election when they did this.Some of you are now retired and doing ok, the rest of us need a future to look foward to> Also some of you have served this country in war and peace time and gave a lot for this countr, and I respect you for that in the utmost honor, but now you are going against this country in a way that behoves me. It all boils down to pure RACISM and BIGOTRY. nothing else but hate. That is sad

Where have you been? You would probably sing a different tune if your son was in a jet patrolling the no-fly zone and getting shot at every day. There were no less than 17 violations of UN resolutions that the UN would do nothing about. Everyone in the is calling for the U.S. to do something about something everyday. When we do then they say "you shouldn't ought have done that"! Saddam Hussein slaughtered the shiite's in the south with helicopter gunships during the uprising after Desert Storm. The world screamed that we should do something. We did! You throw the word Racism around pretty easily. Is there a new definition? Racism - doing the right thing if it is not politically correct. When there is no legitimate defense accuse the other person of racism. Obama is not the first black president! He is the first mixed race president. Why do people overlook that he is half white also?

Great point on the half white issue. To me it's because he has black skin, it's that simple The Black race and the media also need a hero heck, look at Tiger Woods. The first Black man to dominate the sport right? Again, it's hardly ever mentioned his Mother is Asian. Racism is not dead never will be.

Example, I have had people who don't know me start on the Japanese race. I let them talk just to see how far they will go. Sure, I could have crushed their little bitty heads but the look on their face was priceless when I explained how I didn't appreciate their opinions since my Mom is Japanese. Have to admit I got red faced but kept it under control. These were 55-60 year old men! Successful educated business men. Now I know how they really think and they fall all over themselves trying to be nice to me now....whatever.

This statement really gets me, the rich still pay taxes, not as much as the middle class, but you look at the amount they make, and what they pay, and its an incredible amount. If the rich keep getting richer, that means they keep paying the working class salaries. The more money my boss gets to keep, the more likely he will keep his employees employed, and paying them good salaries. So I say let the rich keep as much of their money as possible, that way I will still have a job, and if you tax them to death, guess what, they are going to take their ball, and go play somewhere else (Mexico) which leaves me without a job.

(Bush even admitied that there were no weapons of mass destruction there, Bush should and could be charged with war crimes as he invaded a nation with unjust cause)

I may be wrong, have been before, but I thought that the United States shipped over 150 tons of weapons of mass destruction to Canada to be destroyed, this was supposedly kept secret so no attacks could be made on it. I read this somewhere just dont remember where, and the Liberal Media never mentioned it because they didnt want to admit that there were actually plenty of WMD in Iraq. Someone here help me out, cause I know I read this somewhere. Devils Horse, I'm sure that if anyone here knows it would be you, seems like you keep up on world events pretty well. I will dig around and try and find the article.
