well..obviously this is a hit piece....so you have to really wade through it...the accusations of having a secret language with NAACP members, and some very liberal (ha, ha) interpretations of Obama's positions...

Is Obama the most liberal senator...I think so...but he has shown the ability to compromise (the FISA bill) and to work with republicans...even if it was a "meaningless" non-proliferation bill....

my thoughts are that many of his very extreme ideas will not see the light of day...a president can't do everything by himself....and most likely they will have to be tempered.

People tend to use the term "wealth redistribution" but that is a very mis-leading term.

This isn't about taking money from my pocket and putting it in someone else's....this is about spending the tax money collected in other areas than where they are now.

I know...why should we pay taxes for these programs...but we already pay taxes for outlandish things that no one seems to mind....

like a 550+ million dollar US embassy in Iraq..that seems to be ok, why not have a bowling alley and a top of the line movie theatre...

or over-priced materials for military contracts, man...can we please get charged $300 dollars a bolt? Thanks....

or how about the 10 billion wasted due to poor accounting by the US govt...and paying for work never done...that's right...we have paid contracts with our taxes for work that was never finished!!

I haven't seen anyone really get up in arms over this stuff..

but give a check to someone to buy milk and the shizz hits the fan.....

our taxes will never go down....anyone who thinks that one day our taxes will get lowered is living in a fantasy land....and if we don't spend it on welfare programs, well, the govt will find some other way to waste it...

to try and wipe out welfare, in m y opinion, is a losing battle...

we have to reform it and do our best to eliminate abuse of the system.....
