    I've been saying the same thing for a while now. It feels like 1929 all over again. I don't thing Obama will be able to turn things around right away I think it will take time.

    You want to know something that is interesting

    On the norm. . .
    Folx seem to Expect THEIR GUY to HOOK THEM UP when they get in Office

    i.e. GW was an Oil man . . he went in and made things good for Oil men

    however
    Among black folx I talk to . . . They expect NOTHING from Obama
    No hook up
    No special treatment
    Not even an extra effort to make things more equal
    They expect nothing more than him to be a typical American President

    Heck . . I have heard this phrase among black folx more than any other group
    "He running for the president of the United States of America . . not the Black United States of America."

    The total lack of any expectations . . . is rather interesting
    says alot to me

    Just as when Bush had a republican congress, Obama will have no checks and balances to control any type of spending that will be proposed. I see campaign promises that of course will be broken, with a raise in taxes to cover the spending. Absolute power corrupts absolutly!

    I see a raise in taxes no matter if we elect Donald Duck.

    We can't avoid it thanks to G-Dub.

    1. Fix our infrastructure, pay our contractors to work in AMERICA rather than Iraq, and make sure that our bridges don't FALL APART and that the next time we get a CATEGORY 3 HURRICANE we don't lose power for weeks.

    Why hasn't the McCain campaign said a damn thing about infrastructure? It benefits the entire country and stimulates the economy by adding jobs, domestic ones not foreign ones.

    2. Get out of Iraq. The first step to restoring our image within the Middle East is to stay the hell out of their way as they conduct their tribal wars. Make sure they don't get nukes, and that's about all the intervention you need to have. Be ready to negotiate when they are ready to put aside their differences.

    Nothing.

    That way for every good thing he does I can be excited and for every wrong move he makes I won't be disappointed.

    Ask not what Obama can do for you, ask what you can do for your family and your neighbor.

    The WAR is over......there is no battleground.

    Right now, it is a police action with a military force trained for combat...there is no battlefield.

    So, I move the troops out ASAP....let the Iraqis handle Iraq...it is their country.
