quick question for you guys...
If Obama is elected President (Commander-in-chief), will you give him support in the short-medium term to help turn YOUR country around?
I don't agree with his socialist policies, although, I think many of them are skewed by right-wing media (much in the same way McCain's are skewed by the left wing media)... I have seen them tried and 'fail' in Europe. However, with the United States of America traditionally being a center-right country - will he be able to enforce the 'reported' policies he is proposing?
He won't have the budget to do so... if he tries to tax everyone and everything to do it, their will be SERIOUS unrest amongst the people - I can't see it being as bad as everyone reports.
America has a strong social and moral core, if he tries to take this country to the far left (which I don't think he will), people will not allow it.
As for the tongue-in-cheek 'anti-christ', he's a politician... they are incapable of the truth!!!
John McCain has got skeletons and has made some questionable personal and political decisions.
Joe Biden has got skeletons and has made some questionable personal and political decisions.
Sarah Palin has got skeletons and has made some questionable personal and political decisions.
... and yes, Barack Obama has got skeletons and has made some questionable personal and political decisions.
Does he have an agenda to break the US and ruin the country... take a step back, do you really think he wants to take the US away from its standing in the world?
The country is in a bad way, finger pointing aside, it is in a bad way.... I'm optimistic, just as many of us are... but there is no one person to blame, or one group to blame. We are human and will always look for a reason or explanation for the situations we face... my opinion for what's to blame?
CAPITALISM ------ and I am not for changing it!!
Someone on a Q&A page on the web put the pros and cons of it like this:
Pros = It works
Cons = It only works if you do
Fact is, we all want the best and more - not necessarily for greed, but to have the best for our family's and ourselves... nothing wrong with that, we are entitled to it.
... anyway, I'm off on a tangent.
One thing the US media (TV, Radio, Newspapers, Magazines, Online Video, Blogs, Viral Email...) is good at is propaganda... whipping up hysteria and questioning every last detail of an individual's conduct.
With regard to the content of all the Obama videos, I found this quote"
"Conspiracy theories are like black holes--they suck in everything that comes their way, regardless of content or origin...Everything you've ever known or experienced, no matter how 'meaningless', once it contacts the conspiratorial universe, is enveloped by and cloaked in sinister significance. Once inside, the vortex gains in size and strength, sucking in everything you touch."
"As an example of this sort of mechanism, one has only to mention the so-called 'umbrella man', a man who opened up an umbrella on a sunny day in Dealey Plaza just as President John F. Kennedy's motorcade was passing. A number of 'conspiracy theorists' have assumed that this man was signalling to the assassins, thus tying a seemingly trivial and inconsequential act into the alleged plot to kill Kennedy. It is precisely this totalistic, all-encompassing quality that distinguishes 'conspiracy theories' from the secret but often mundane political planning that is carried out on a daily basis by all sorts of groups, both within and outside of government. It should, however, be pointed out that even if the 'umbrella man' was wholly innocent of any involvement in a plot, as he almost certainly was, this does not mean that the Warren Commission's reconstruction of the assassination is accurate."
