Aren't you proud to be American again?

I can't decide which is more ridiculous, the op or some of the responses to it. Who cares what this guy thinks, he is trying (and doing a good job) of getting under people's skin. I voted for Obama, not sure I made the right decision but thought he was the best choice for me. I guess time will tell if I was right or wrong. I am also proud to be an American now and proud to be one when Bush was President. I think am as proud as anyone except maybe Lee Greenwood.

I think you're right MG, everyone that Obama selects was either with Clinton or from Chicago.

I believe Lee Greenwood was proud to be an America because he knows he is free. Freedom and capitalism go hand in hand. Socialism ultimately restricts invidual freedom. So, Lee Greenwood might not be all that proud in a few years.

While I admire Lee Greenwood and his patriotism, I hope we don't see him anytime soon.

Anytime they drag Lee out of the closet, and dust him off to sing his song. You know some sort of major crisis has happened.

You mean when they start taxing the hell out of his one hit? :)

All jokes aside, I am really starting to see this firsthand with my employer since the economy has gotten worse. Some of my opinions have changed a bit over the past few months.

I was thinking the same thing. He might be the only one in America to get excited when a hurricane pops up on radar near the U.S. coast. He is good for one National Anthem a season in Nascar too.

He specifically said, "There ain't no doubt."

Excuse me? I don't rely on the gov't for anything, I have a good job, pay all my bills on time, don't spend above my means and get by just fine. Not everyone that voted for Obama is looking for a hand out. Everyone votes for their best interest, there is nothing unusual about me voting in my best interest, it's called having a choice.

What exactly is your best interest in electing BHO?

I figure there are basically two large camps voting for BHO: those who will receive some form of government handout (be it welfare or wealth redistribution) and are voting for their best interest, and those who feel like the government should lift people out of poverty through social programs (funded by tax dollars, of course).

So, either you voted your best interest in electing BHO, or you voted based upon other factors. However, no one who voted for BHO in the spirit of voting for their best interest is not expecting a government handout of some kind.

Thinking about what you wrote, I probably misspoke. Instead of using the term in my best interest i should have said I voted for Obama because in my opinion he was a better option to be our President than John McCain. As far as those reasons, well we probably disagree hence the reason I voted for Obama and you didn't. I didn't vote for him because I think the gov't should give hand outs for people to live off of. I certainly don't agree with Obama on everything, I am pro-life for example. I don't have a problem with gov't assistance to help people get on their feet so long as it doesn't become a lifestyle. I prefer that we find alternatives to energy so that we reduce our dependence on foreign oil. I think it would create jobs that can't be outsourced rather than drill now. I think drill now is a temporary patch to a problem that needs to be fixed. Not so much for the Al Gore type green reasons but to quit sending money to our enemies and to replace something that will run out at some point. I think Obama gives us a better chance of ending the war in Iraq than McCain would have. At the time I voted for Obama I was in favor of a progressive tax but now I am seeing why it would be a benefit to reduce taxes on businesses and their owners so I was probably wrong on that issue. I guess that is my problem, maybe I don't know enough about politics but I feel like a can't agree with either party on enough issues. I feel like I am stuck in the middle, agreeing with one side on several issues but doing the same thing for the other side.

That is a much better answer. The fact that the GOP nominated McCain still baffles me.

in hindsight, Michael Steele would have been a better pick. Picking Romney or Huckabee would have furthered the notion that the GOP is nothing but a rich white guy's party.

However, Palin was a good pick simply for the energy it put into the GOP base. She was very poorly served by her handlers and was repeatedly victimized by a press corps bent of knowing more about where she came from than where the dem nominee came from.

The fact that Palin agreed to be the nomination of someone who possessed a completely diametrical philosophical outlook on how to govern baffles me. McCain's lack of principle on many key issues placed Palin in very tricky situations. She did not have the experience on the inside to handle those situations.

proud to be american again? wtf are you serious? I have never stopped being proud of my American heritage. I really am tired of everyone being on this St. Obama crap, see people are constantly saying well its the President's fault. Well if you refer to your 10th grade government class there are three branches of government that balance each other out. Im pretty sure that when everything started to go "down hill" really bad was shortly after Nancy Pelosi and her horde took the congressional majority,,, BUT the president has everything to do with everything right? I hate all that rhetorical BS, We need Change blah blah blah, get out of here with that feel good BS,,, i want to see results not catch phrases...
