The Irony of Obama's message tonight

Obama's associations will hurt him in the general election, not the primaries. A lot can change between now and November, but there's worse to come for him I suspect. As far as Ayers goes, he has stated on record that he regrets he hadn't done more.

I saw a funny piece on MSN trying to drag up the McCain/Hagee issue again. The media will be pushing that hard after the Dem convention.
 
I head Obama on the radio yesterday. He was talking about some new entitlement programs of his, giving everyone money for college, free healthcare, etc.

He's a joke. We are on the crevice of a energy crisis, a monetary crisis with the falling dollar, a military crisis in Iraq, and a future economic crisis with the deficit and social security. His solution to all our problems is more entitlement programs. He's a pathetic joke. The only problem is the other side thinks deficits don't matter.

I don't see how anyone can vote for either one of them. Too bad Ron Paul won't run as an independent. Though he cant win, at least I can vote for someone who will say the truth.
 
While Dems should walk away big time, just by the shear math of D's to R's, and with history on their side as well. I would say unless they run together, can't see them winning "big" with the massive negatives they've aquired thru this process. If HRC gets the nod over BHO with the super-delegates help, the black vote will be non- existant. BHO holds on gets the nod in the end, I seriously doubt he gets any of the "Reagan Dems", when you've got a moderate like McCain running. Can he win with just the black vote, and how many young people show up on election day. With this, the craziest election process ever, anything can happen, no doubt. But with these choices, I can't see anyone running away and hiding with this election.

Are you offering some evidence that the black vote is all he's likely to get?
 
thanks so much b'ham...glad to be back. missed you guys. It seems I couldn't have come back at a better time; the almost certain upcoming race between McCain and Obama is going to make for a daggum interesting election season, don't you think?

btw, thanks again for the welcome. :salute:
 
He would stand behind muslims B 4 He would stand behind AMERICANS in his book for CHRIST sake.:good!:NO Pun Intended..............
 
care to help me understand how EVERYONE got that idea? I guess you can easily explain to me currency pricing. Thanks.

They can explain it better then I can:

Much has been made of the United States’ astonishing deficit spending in the first half of this decade, and also of the rapid decline of the value of the U.S. dollar, but not everyone wants to draw the link between the two. Historically and in the present case, deficit spending is the main cause of currency declines, and in a much smaller way, the decline in currency adds to the budget deficit.
To get the bigger picture, you need to see the cause of the deficit spending. Some would want to blame the Bush tax cuts, but while those tax cuts are certainly hurting the U.S. economy, they are not nearly large enough to account for the deficits we are seeing. This is a deficit caused by deficit spending, and specifically, spending on the U.S. invasion and occupation of Iraq.
 
that wasn't an explanation, that was a political commentary.

This pretty much sums up the situation IMO:

Im sorry, I don't care for the man, but I just couldn't see him saying that maybe Rev. Wrong, but not Obama. Is there a link or something ?
 
Does anyone know the percentage of our non-discretionary spending that we will be dedicating to medicare/medicaid in about 15 years or so? I saw some predictions once, but I don't remember them with any certainty....I swear it was like 40% or something absolutely ridiculous when compared to today. We talk a lot about universal health care - but this would seem to be the larger problem...I don't want to act like the sky is falling, but how do you think that we will make it through this upcoming spending nightmare?
 
what part of did you miss?
you're telling me that you want me to buy just that statement from a biased source? We had tremendous deficit spending for the 20 years prior to today and tell me how that impacted the dollar?

I caught the statement, I'm just asking for it to be validated. I'm a bit of an economic dunce, so just asking for some help. Should be simple since it's so plainly obvious to you.
