Eisboch wrote: "Boater" wrote in message ... I don't think Palin has the intellectual capacity or curiosity or judgment for high federal office. Obama has all of that in spades. Palin does nicely with a teleprompter and she obviously is "The Personality Kid," but, hopefully, most voting Americans will want a bit more in their president than winks and shout-outs. Spent most of the morning half watching, half listening to Obama giving his stump speech again this morning while I worked on some other stuff. He's a gifted speaker, that's for sure, capable of whipping up the emotions of an audience to a fever pitch. But again, as before, I miss the logic (if there is any) of his statements and long list of promises. How do you reduce taxes for 95 percent of the so called "working class" when 40 percent don't pay any to begin with? How do you justify calling a yearly government check of approximately $3k to people who didn't pay any taxes as "tax rebates" and not welfare checks? How do end the war in Iraq by telling the Iraqi government that they have to assume responsibility for themselves? Bush has been trying that for over four years without success. He is a scary guy to listen to sometimes. He's going to "transform America and it's government" as he often states. I don't want America to be transformed. I want solid, honest representation and leadership. My concern is that Obama says whatever he needs to say to get the votes and does so in a dishonest way, appealing to the emotional sensitivities of a frustrated citizenship. There is one thing for sure. He will go down in history as a failed president (if elected) because there is no way he can deliver on all he has promised. Eisboch If Obama is elected, he will do what is possible in light of the horrific circumstances in which Bush will leave this country and the federal government. He's already stated several times that many of the changes he'd like to make will have to be phased in gradually. BTW, everyone who is working pays taxes of some sort, assuming they are working on the clock. *I* want America transformed into a country that is concerned with building up and maintaining a middle class society that encompasses most of its citizens. I want everyone in this country to have access to decent health care without having to jump through hoops. I want our roads, bridges, airports, power plants and water treatment facilities improved, I want significant federal seed investment in alternative means of energy production, I want GITMO closed the day after OBama, if elected, takes office, I want normalized relations with Cuba, and I want our foreign policy conducted by intelligent men and women, not hipshooters. I don't give a crap if those whose net income is $250,000 or more a year have to pay tax at the rates of the Clinton era. "if elected," your tone is getting less and less hopeful. |
