You know, "spreading the wealth" was an unfortunate turn of phrase in that Obama has used, to my knowledge, only twice. However, his tax plan has absolutely nothing to do with socialism. His plan rolls back the Bush tax cuts on the wealthy (and I'm sorry, if you make more then a quarter million dollars a year, your wealthy) and gives the tax cuts to the middle class instead. I realize that was the McCain party line for the last few weeks of the campaign, but the whole notion of him being a socialist for that very reason is just plain silly.

Hummm, so that is what makes a good president? Nice to know.

The whole package is what makes a good president. We judged the last guy on far less then that, and look where it got us.

SO - what has he done besides raise taxes...?

What taxes has Obama raised exactly? I believe I stated this already, Obama was voted in because of his judgment on all the important issues. Truthfully, that is and has always been the way we measure Presidents being that, barring a guy running for a second term, no one can claim that they have experience being President. Judgment will almost always trump experience, which is why we got Presidents like Lincoln and Kennedy.

Sheepeople voted for him because they belive this administration is the worst thing since sliced bread. How do you know? Actually you will never know whats going on at the top level of govt. There might have been a "really"good reason for the war and other items.

So why is it, when people disagree with you, they're sheep? Why is it, when people have a positive view of someone, it's only because the last guy was far worse by comparison. Look, if we were only interested in replacing Bush because anyone was better then that, the country could have gone with anyone else. Instead it went for the guy who by all accounts and by all measure of history didn't stand a chance. Doesn't that tell you something, at least, about the people's measure of the man, rather then you insulting their intelligence because they don't share your opinion?

Most people go by what they have caught from their neighbors and friends. So who says they are right? People are sheep. At least they showed there colors in this election.

We really don't know anything about this guy. His campaign silenced all the people who wanted to bring out the gray questions. The media has lost all creditability with me since all the talked about was him. Talk about lopsided! So now they want to silence free speach with the fairness doctrin.

Whats next........Spreading the wealth?

Are you really under the impression that every neighborhood in the US is a bunch of guys sitting on their front porch being cajoled into voting for the choice of the guy with the biggest personality? This is the 21st century. Most of us don't even know our neighbor's first name. We may not even know what our neighbors look like. What we go by these days is our own best judgment. Again, why malign others because they don't share your opinion?

Also, that notion that Obama's campaign silenced anyone is equally ridiculous. The reason none of these so called "grey" questions where pursued is because they where all debunked ages ago. Only the fringe groups wanted to rehash this stuff, and what credible arguments they couldn't find, they made up. (i.e Obama is an Arab, Obama is a Muslim, Obama is a Space Alien, Obama was born three tenths of a second before Hawaii became a state.) What's sad is no one criticises the media for not pursuing the questionable alliances McCain has made over the years. Granted, they were no more insidious then any of Obama's so called ties, but still, there were no massive outcries to the media to dredge those up.
