Obama Lays Out Plan To Fix Economy In Two-Minute Ad

"Here's what I believe we need to do. Reform our tax system to give a $1,000 tax break to the middle class instead of showering more on oil companies and corporations that outsource our jobs. End the "anything goes" culture on Wall Street with real regulation that protects your investments and pensions."

What a freaking laughing stock. A $1,000 tax credit to the middle class is going to fix the economy.

Obama why don’t you get all the Hollywood elitists to chip in on the stimulus package. Let’s see your just taxing people more to pay for it. How about Soros or Rezko can they help? Where was the Democratic controlled congress when this was going down. This didn’t just happen yesterday. It has been falling apart for months. They saw it coming and they did nothing. Obama was too busy campaigning to care. Obama you don’t understand the situation and you never will!!!!!!

El Jay   September 17th, 2008 - 3:12 pm

Of course, the $1000 is a “credit”. So that 50% of population that doesn’t pay income tax get a $1000 check. Guess from who ? Those of us who work & pay taxes.

Of course, I wouldn’t expect anyone who votes Obama to understand this.

Just another wealth transfer program…

I am so frustrated with this tribal mentality. I don’t care who does it, but I do care how. I’ve read everything I can get my hands on. I’m doing the research everyday. I’m not believing the crap either camp is putting out there in sound bites. I’m doing the work. Are any of you? All I hear in all these comment boards is garbage. No one is adding to a solution which is so beyond the sacrifices anyone seems willing to make. This country is so incredibly screwed because everyone wants to be on the winning team – and not living up to their personal responsibilites. Just read everything – not just the crap these parties are forcing down your throats. Get informed. Open your eyes. Challenge your old modes of thought. I’m not some naive hippie kid, I’m extremely well-educated, and I am not affiliated with any party, union or have a political agenda. I just know that the stuff is going to hit the fan if every single person in this country doesn’t start thinking & questioning the daily ration of garbage you’re getting starting now!

How about getting rid of all taxes and just have a national sales tax. Then you don’t get taxed for earning and saving, just buying. Tax would be exempt for clothing and non prepared food.

Then the tax burden falls evenly an all, which includes tourists and illegals. The more you spend, the more you pay. No more need to ‘work under the table’. No more loopholes or IRS or deductions and forms. Imagine looking at your paycheck and getting the gross amount and not the net.

You may say I’m a dreamer…but I’m not the only one.

It has been noted in congressional record of 1917, that J.P. Morgan interests took control of the United States media industry: “In March, 1915, the J.P. Morgan interests, the steel, shipbuilding, and powder interest, and their subsidiary organizations, got together 12 men high up in the newspaper world and employed them to select the most influential newspapers in the United States and sufficient number of them to control generally the policy of the daily press….They found it was only necessary to purchase the control of 25 of the greatest papers… An agreement was reached; the policy of the papers was bought, to be paid for by the month; an editor was furnished for each paper to properly supervise and edit information regarding the questions of preparedness, militarism, financial policies, and other things of national and international nature considered vital to the interests of the purchasers.” – U.S. Congressman Oscar Callaway, 1917

In his speech he states “responsibility”. The people who took out home loans were not responsible. They knew they could not pay for the mortgage. They felt that the upper income American people would pay for their mortgage. I also notice in his speech that he took some of Sarah Palin’s speech and worked it into his. He had not mention in his speeches before about drilling here in the USA by American companies, by American people He stole her lines. Just like he will still from us.

I work in advertising and what Obama doesn’t get is that no one wants to listen to him talk for 2 solid minutes. He needs to explain in clear, grade school terms what he will do. People don’t have time or focus to listen to this. McCain is presenting his case in clear soundbytes. Obama keeps talking. His challenge is how do you talk to the 60% of American’s who don’t weep when he speaks.

I want this guy to win, but his ads are terrible.

– Define who exactly is the “middle class” to you? People on welfare?
– Define “regulation”. What exactly are you going to do?
– You have flip-flopped on energy. How can we believe you?
– The lobbyists are in your pocket. How are you going to change that?
– The Iraq war is coming to an end no thanks to your lack of support . You tried to make the war last longer for your own political gains at the expense of our American soldiers.

Wake up America. This is not change. This is another elitist, liberal, democrat trying to pass the buck. I would rather take a chance elsewhere. Don’t make America a socialist country. No Obama!

Obama you are a joke. 1000 dollars to fix our problems? Yeah taxing the rich guys. My employer will be cutting wages or removing health care to cover your tax hike on small businesses everywhere, THEY WILL HAVE TOO. Which means more jobs lost, inflation and more goverment dependence. By the way how was your $28,000 dollar dinner last night while we middle class where eating beans and franks you idiot. More goverment just what i want…sure ill vote for you…right. Total idiot.

When Hitler rose to power the German economy was falling apart. People rallied around him because they believed he wanted radical “change”. He appeared to be truly devoted to his country – and he was. Read your history. People panic and make bad decisions in a crisis. This is America. We cannot let a man with the most liberal – leftist voting record lead us. Look for yourself and see what he has really done – nothing!!!!!! Take money from you and spread it out. How will he pay for this $1000. It is coming straight out of your pocket.

I wrote this AD. I hope you enjoy it.

I’ll give you a thousand dollars if you vote for me.

Let me first begin by saying ‘I’m not a sexist’. Even when I am not high on cocaine or in the back of a cab with another man. I picture, in my mind, the world’s greatest things as being feminine. In fact I picture this great nation as one giant teat filled with the milk of others hard work and nursed upon by the bitter, the angry and those who make excuses.

I’ll give you a thousand dollars if you vote for me.

I believe STRONGLY in family. My father had many. As he traveled the world I sat home and thought to myself, about how important the rest of the world must be, that my father had chosen IT over ME. This is how I KNOW I am right when I say to you ‘what the world THINKS of America is more important than BEING an American’. Fist bumps to PM Brown.

I’ll give you a thousand dollars if you vote for me.

To me government is religion and if you were to ask me ‘could Jesus have a position in my cabinet I would pause, smurk and say YES! Truth be told Mohammed is getting an office right down the hall from me so I can talk with him on a daily basis.

I’ll give you a thousand dollars if you vote for me.

It would also be fair to say I have had trouble with the issue of Gun Control. You see the 2nd Amendment just scares me you know with the whole tyrannical government thing. But I know that guns serve a greater good in our society. As a Community Organizer I learned Guns are cheaper than college and can be used as a way for the underprivileged to earn a living. If we were to take those guns away today. . . at this very moment, those same folks would have to wait at least until December before my government programs would kick in. Let’s face it we know FEMA would not bridge the gap.

Lastly, I’ll give you a thousand dollars if you vote for me.

Barack Obama has not approved this message.

Wow Barry. How long did it take you to think that “economic fix” up? That’s quite a comprehensive well thought out tax reform. $1000 tax credit. So that will fix the economy? Are you saying that more money in the general population’s pockets to spend as they choose will help the economy? Mmmmm…you know what? That sounds suspiciously like you are saying tax cuts will help the economy…that’s a Bush Doctrine! Funny how you have to keep sounding more and more like a moderate in hopes of getting more votes.

Duude   September 17th, 2008 - 4:36 pm

Those of you that are wondering why the dramatic increase in tax rates for the rich are only producing a $1000 tax break for you and me need look no further than who all qualifies. If you work and are married with children, and earn less than $250,000 you will qualify for a $1000 tax cut. If you work and are single and earn less than $250,000 you get a $500 tax cut. If you are single and you work at Walmart part-time while living with Mom & Dad, you get a $500 tax cut. If you are married, don’t work, but collect welfare and can file a tax return, you get a $1000 rebate. If you are single and don’t work, you get a $500 tax rebate. If you are a married illegal alien and have illegally obtained a social security number, whether you work or not, and choose to file under that social security number, you will get a $1000 rebate.
So, you see there are a number of ways to receive your allotment.

Earnest,

It is no surprise that the only thing people like you can come up with is racism. Let me assure you positively— if McCain were the Socialist and Obama was the conservative, a bunch of red-neck racists would be casting their first vote for a black man. People like you can’t see any rational explanation for others’ views besides racism. It just shows how simple your minds are to assume this. It is simple-minded to think that black people aren’t just as racist as whites are— or is it okay when black people are racists? Racism is the stigma of the ‘whites’. How pathetically naive and stupid. People like you have absolutely no understanding of other human beings, much less of yourselves.

Simpletons— you are just the same as your enemies, the red-necks.

Coinciding with 9/11, U.S. Law Enforcement Officers Learn Counterterrorism Strategies From Israeli Counterparts

New York, NY, September 10, 2008 … Coinciding with the seventh anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, a group of U.S. law enforcement professionals is in Israel, where they are learning advanced counterterrorism strategies from their Israeli counterparts.

The delegation of more than a dozen chiefs of police from major cities across the United States is visiting Israel as part of weeklong mission organized by the Anti-Defamation League (ADL). The program brings the U.S. law enforcement officers into contact with Israeli law enforcement and security officers and terrorism experts to learn about Israel’s strategies to prevent terror attacks. They see firsthand how Israeli emergency officials and responders prepare for terrorist attacks in a nation that can never let down its guard.

WHAT A ‘BUNCH OF FOOLS’ HE ACTUALLY THINKS WE ARE.

An economic plan .. from this man? – The man who proposes to give all illegals drivers licenses; give them all government benefits (including social security .. a system that is already being pushed into bankruptcy. An open-borders advocate who is backed by some of the wealthiest SOCIALISTS and far-left liberal groups – who plan to back him directly into the White House.

If all of us took the time to read his FIRST book; you’d realize that this guy is himself a SOCIALIST. His mom was an athiest, who clearly hated America. His Mom taught him that whites have held down blacks for years; the church HE chose to join and stay in for over 20 years openly preached hatred towards whites and hatred toward our own country. Obama would never have stayed at that church; and had his little girls listen to all of this if he didn’t agree. Now he plans on righting that thinking by taking money from people who work hard; and giving it to others who don’t work, and already depend on the government. His theory … “take from the ‘rich’ (that’s hard working citizens who aren’t rich at all) and give our money to the ‘poor’ (by the way, that includes those who already pay NO income tax) to Uncle Sam.

His plan is just the same, but better planned socialist scheme: “promise people money in order to buy their votes”. After that, people are dependent on the government for everything; thus, he can control everything, and everyone.

If enough people are that stupid, and he actually wins; all illegals will be given citizenship; and they (the socialists) will be in control forever; and our country will lose its democratic underpinnings.

WAKE UP AMERICA … see this con-artist for who he is … a far-left liberal politician who will say or do anything to get elected. He actually HAS a record AND a history that NO main-stream media dares to show or question.

HELL NO to Obama; and NO To A “SOCIALIST AMERICA”; where the government is in control of Everything. They tried to warn voters about Chevez; and now look at what they have; and they have no way to get rid of his socialism.

WE, the ‘SILENT MAJORITY’ Must All Get Out & VOTE in November to save our country from this man .. and the people helping him (mainstream media included) to con ALL Americans to get their votes and control our entire country.

WAKE UP, GET OUT THERE AND TALK TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW ABOUT THE REAL TRUTH OF OBAMA; VOTE; AND STOP THIS FROM HAPPENING!! We ALL have to ACT NOW .. or our country is LOST, and our children and grandchildren will never see the real America again.

From the remarks made it appears all of you are doing quite well. From a distance most would think my husband and I are doing well also.
We are both self-employed, have been in the same home for 21 years, sent all our children to college and always payed our bills on time.
We now have no retirement money left, pay over $1500.00 a month for medical not including dental & eye care, and a increase is on the way.
We get up and go to work each day and yet we can not afford to pay all our bills. The basic bills, house payment, lights etc.
We are not big spenders but did have to pay parents medical/then funeral cost.
We both worked and paid our way though school/no loans.
I NEVER thought as hard as we have worked we would be in this state at this stage in life.
Many people need help out here and all I see McCain doing is crying about lipstick on a pig while Cindy shops for $300,000 outfits.
Sure hope I can afford a new winter coat. Maybe that $1,000.00 will help after all!

yeah right   September 17th, 2008 - 5:12 pm

I’d rather pay %15 taxes on a $100 paycheck than 10% taxes on a $80 paycheck!

OBAMA’s tax plan is going to ease the burden on the vast majority of Americans – THE MIDDLE CLASS! The middle class is the engine of America’s wealth! We’ll all be better off when American’s can start spending cash and paying off credit.

Even arch-capitalist HENRY FORD knew that to sell more cars he should pay his works enough to buy his cars!

How Bush’s grandfather helped Hitler’s rise to power

http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2004/sep/25/usa.secondworldwar

Documents: Bush’s Grandfather Directed Bank Tied to Man Who Funded Hitler

WASHINGTON — President Bush’s grandfather was a director of a bank seized by the federal government because of its ties to a German industrialist who helped bankroll Adolf Hitler’s rise to power, government documents show.

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,100474,00.html

U.S. forces landed under fire near Algiers on Nov. 8, 1942; heavy combat raged throughout November. Nazi interests in the Silesian-American Corporation, long managed by Prescott Bush and his father-in-law George Herbert Walker, were seized under the Trading with the Enemy Act on Nov. 17, 1942.

In this action, the government announced that it was seizing only the Nazi interests, leaving the Nazis’ U.S. partners to carry on the business.

These and other actions taken by the U.S. government in wartime were, tragically, too little and too late. President Bush’s family had already played a central role in financing and arming Adolf Hitler for his takeover of Germany; in financing and managing the buildup of Nazi war industries for the conquest of Europe and war against the U.S.A.; and in the development of Nazi genocide theories and racial propaganda, with their well-known results.

“Showing up to three dozen seizures of business assets seized under the provisions of The Trading with the Enemy Act of 1917, beginning October 20, 1942. This is a detailed summary of information confirmed in declassified U.S. government documents available in The National Archives. These documents prove, for the first time since World War II, the extent and nature of Bush family support for Adolf Hitler and the Nazi war machine, from 1929-1942, when the U.S. Congress began seizing a number of business enterprises and/or assets controlled and/or managed by Prescott Bush and George Herbert Walker, the grandfather and maternal great-grandfather of President George W. Bush.”

George Herbert Walker and Prescott Bush were active in the leadership of the eugenics societies that were popular among the wealthy classes in the first half of the twentieth century. Prescott Bush was the Connecticut director of the Mental Hygiene Society which originated at Yale University in 1908. The headquarters of the American Eugenics Society was also at Yale (also home of the Order of Skull & Bones) until its relocation to and merger in 1952 with the Population Council, which was founded by John D. Rockefeller and John Foster Dulles, lawyer for Brown Brothers Harriman.

Hi, I’m Barack Obama. My economic plan is to outlaw bad luck, economic cycles, Human nature and words that end in “ion”.

I plan to do this by taxing the bejeezus out of the companies that create jobs, and give a $1000 tax break to all you undefined and ill determined members of the middle class. All you folk with combined family incomes over 100,000, you’ll still have to use the Estimate Tax form, the one we haven’t changed since 1963, so we can soak you at between 28-35% as your governments “Personal Initiative Penalty”.

We’ll end our dependence on foreign energy using the magical powers of crystals, and finding and developing the ancient Power Vortexes that helped our ancestors build the Pyramids and Stonehenge.

I’ll take away your guilt and responsibility for getting that Home Equity Loan so you could buy a 50-inch Plasma TV and put a down payment on that Cadillac Escalate, like the one Chuck up the street bought, and drove around so high and mighty.

I’ll create jobs by having you build monuments to me, Barack Obama.

Liberal and conservative politics just haven’t worked. That’s why we need something new. Marxist-Obamaism. Get %10 off your Adjusted Gross Income for denouncing your friends and neighbors for counter-revolutionary thinking.

I’m Barack Obama, the Barney Fife of American Politics, and I am even more stupid than I look.

Wow was this filmed in his bedroom? Are we suppose to grab our ankles now?

feldspar   September 17th, 2008 - 5:31 pm

I work every year until late April before I’ve made enough to pay one year’s worth of taxes. Now someone wants to buy my vote for $1000. I used to think I was middle class. I may soon find out I’m actually RICH!

agincourt   September 17th, 2008 - 5:41 pm

Do the whining libs think a president is supposed to be their own personal financial manager responsible for fixing every mini disaster caused by their lack of discipline and financial judgement? Is it the government’s responsibility to constantly bail out stupid people from bankruptcy, using the money confiscated from productive members of society?

Yes and yes? Ubama’s your savior.

Conservative White Guy   September 17th, 2008 - 5:49 pm

Amazing Barack can have this be a corner stone for his economy fix. For the Democratic convention in Denver, whose home did he stay in? None-other than Jim Crowe – CEO of Level 3. How much of Level 3’s workforce is outsourced? Close to 25%…

james   September 17th, 2008 - 5:51 pm

WOW..Genius…Problem solved..Obama your my hero….NOT!!LOL

Tara Newone   September 17th, 2008 - 5:54 pm

Only 40% of the U.S. population pays any Federal Taxes.

The other 60% is sucking the life out of those who work.

Think we need more dead wood riding our backs.

Obama says so. I say not!!

Boomer   September 17th, 2008 - 5:56 pm

Obama is running scared because if doesn’t get elected George Soros will take him out. A classic example of a empty suit.

Tom   September 17th, 2008 - 5:59 pm

So Obama is going to tax “BIG OIL” and then he might give some of us a $1000. Oh isn’t that wonderful! Problem is that the last time I looked about 15% of my retirement account through work was invested in BIG OIL. Also all of my other IRA accounts I own are also partly invested in “BIG OIL”. Actually everyone with a retirement account probably is part owner of “BIG OIL”. So in reality Obama is going to tax all Americans, except most people will be too stupid and naive to realize this. Then he will give some of our own money back to us. What a deal! Typical liberal pandering program.

Captainbaby3   September 17th, 2008 - 6:05 pm

Yeah, Barack Obama’s so stupid. But conservatives are going to put McCain in the white house to pull the same “trickle down economics” on us that has miserably failed the middle class. And when he dies a year or two into office b/c he’s old, we’ll have Sarah Palin with her bachelor’s degree in communications running the country. That makes me feel even more secure. I used to vote straight Republican. Not this year. Sorry George Bush ruined the party and made everybody sick to their stomachs. It’s Obama/Biden for me this year.

Paul   September 17th, 2008 - 6:07 pm

Good Ad? Yes.

Problem is, aside from the $1000 tax thing he doesn’t tell you what else he will do, a tax on a corporation s a tax on its customers, and last time I checked, cars still run on gas.

Also, a I fear a return to Crater era taxes on investments, not everyone who makes money in teh stock market is Rich, Obama.

Taxes don’t fix anything. Never have, Never will.

SanDiegoView   September 17th, 2008 - 6:20 pm

Financial meltdown……….hummmmmmm. We can’t blame this one on the Russians. The people who still support Bushco are stupid but not that stupid. We can’t blame the Chinese Communist eternally being funded by the Walton/WalMart sing-along. And we can’t blame Ayn Rand and Alan Greenspan because she is dead and Alan is excellent at excuses. Let’s blame…….Pelosi and the Democrats for not stopping our insanity!! HA!! HA!! Obama should have know better than allow us all this credit and the Bush printing press economy.

McCain/Palin/Bush- A drunk, a skunk and a punk.

jay   September 17th, 2008 - 6:26 pm

Well said and correct…I’m on board, thanks Senator Obama…

ps—I appreciate your uplifting & postive outlook for our country and for our citizens.

Bill Chicago   September 17th, 2008 - 6:27 pm

All Obama is offering is a bad rerun of the Carter Administration, only more crooked and inept, if that is humanly possible.

First off, you can say you are going to do a lot of things, but the core issue is, can you do them? What have you done in the past that proves you have ever been successful at anything, outside of self-promotion? I guess there is that Job Center Training Grant you got for the Gangster Disciples that allowed them to siphon off thousands of dollars in no-show jobs to buy better guns and larger quantities of drugs.

Second, Congress has been in the hands of the Democrats for 2 YEARS and they have done nothing. If all this pending economic doom was so obvious, where was Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi all this time? You did show up in the Senate, at least for 143 days, where was this amazing insight into the American Economic System then?

This guy really thinks we are all as stupid as his supporters.

Numbers Don't Lie   September 17th, 2008 - 6:43 pm

Dems are better at managing the economy than Republicans.

The one   September 17th, 2008 - 7:09 pm

Whats with all the right wing nut jobs on here? Do you camp out on your computer all day to wait for a political clip?
How about naming good things that Mccain will do for our country (probably can’t think of any) instead of just bashing the other side.

me   September 17th, 2008 - 7:13 pm

Interesting I don’t think I’ll be visiting SLATE for numbers. So maybe you could tell me how socialists fare at managing the economy.

ObamaMoney   September 17th, 2008 - 7:20 pm

Obama blames this on capitalism. It is time to end capitalism. This is working out great! A new world and a new society. CHANGE is at hand!

Obama is the one!

Jew for Jesus   September 17th, 2008 - 7:35 pm

The comments here are so right on. Enough of these politics. The greatest story ever told is that of Jesus Christ.

Bill Chicago   September 17th, 2008 - 8:04 pm

Yeah, we were all so much better off under Carter than Reagan.

If Slate says it, it must be true.

Common   September 17th, 2008 - 8:29 pm

Money is evil. Communal living is the solution. It solves housing, global warming, education and competition which causes stress.

Obama is right again!

Al   September 17th, 2008 - 8:37 pm

$1,000 is nice, but having a job would be nicer. You can get jobs to stay in America by lowering the corporate tax rate, but that’s not what Obama wants to do.

Paul in Jax   September 17th, 2008 - 9:59 pm

Powerful message, you may not like Barack for a number of reasons but when the phone rings six months, a year, two years from now, do you really think Mccain is undoubtedly going to be around to answer it? Putting your vote towards someone that is three years away from the average life span of a caucasian male is simply a wasted vote.

Shirley   September 17th, 2008 - 9:59 pm

You want to talk about your tax dollars being used to support welfare? Well, what about these bailouts? CEO’s walk away with multimillion-dollar severence packages while the Feds, with our money and some they just decide to print, step up to save them. Many individuals who thought they were taking care of themselves and making informed decisions about their investments, are getting suckerpunched right now. It’s hard to keep your eye on all the balls.
Where was the oversight? Where is the regulation? Obama wants to reinstate it. McCain has a long history of voting for deregulation. The Joint Chief of Staff has said that the war in the Middle East can’t be won by killing machine. We must use diplomacy and education. I would say the same is true of the underprivileged and downtrodden in our own country. You don’t assist people by condemning them and throwing just enough money at them to sustain them. You give them hope, opportunity and tools to rise above their circumstances. They will become part of the greater good. As they say, a high tide raises all boats.
I would rather have uncertain hope than more of the insanity that has ripped this country a new one for the last eight years.
Go, Barack!

Peace   September 17th, 2008 - 10:22 pm

Imagine a future without a military budget. Do you realize how much money our government would have!? We could all have free health care, free education and a guaranteed retirement! We need Obama because he will bring world peace and remove the need for the military. Our military is taking all of our money! Terrorism will end the day Obama is elected. Why, because he says so! He will convince the world to live in peace.

Obama for President! I’m pumped!

yeah yeah   September 17th, 2008 - 10:32 pm

AIG bailout smells like corporate welfare to me.

Bill Chicago   September 17th, 2008 - 10:38 pm

Shirley-
Where were the Democrats for the last 2 years? They just get off the bus?

Just to touch on one thing you said in that rambling post. Hope isn’t a plan. In Obama’s case, it is his lie. I know these guys. They will tell you anything they think you want to hear, and at one time or the other, Obama has touched every base in the game.

And if you want Obama to end the killing, have him start here on the Southside. We are running out of graveyard space for all the bullet-riddled 17 year olds.

You can hope for Santa Claus to bring you a lifetime supply of Tofu. Obama will bring nothing but misery. I know. I live with it every day. This is what this “Community Organizer” brought to this community. Now people spend their time organizing funerals he helped create by his idiotic support of the Gangster Disciples street gang. He “hoped” they’d change. They did. They changed their zip guns and Saturday Night Specials for Glocks and AK-47’s thanks to the Federal Grant he helped them get. They stopped buying drugs in ounces and started buying in pounds, thanks to the no-show jobs he created for them.

You step over dead kids and then tell me all about Obama’s “Hope” and “Change”. Just hope you don’t take a Chicago Hummingbird to your head.
That’s a “Change” you can believe in.

Bill5321   September 17th, 2008 - 11:16 pm

Obama flip floped again. The $1000 tax break is back on every after Allan Greenspan said the country could not aford any tax breaks!

Obama forgot to say that Joe Bidens son has closed his lobbist office until the campaign is over. All the politicans say they are against lobbyist, but never do anything.

Energy. Obama will let T Boone Pickens put millions of cars running on natural gas on our highways. Like ethanol that cased food price to go up 40%, natural gas cars will do the same to our winter heating bills!!!

Putting a wind mill on Nancy Pelosi desk will generate electric power for Washing DC for 2 days a week. Nancy only works 2 days a week. The other 5 days you have to turn your airconditioner or electric heater and lighting off.

SouthSide   September 17th, 2008 - 11:56 pm

Chicago is now a safe and prosperous city because of the work Obama did on the south side. You can now go to a White Sox game without a bullet proof vest. A safe Chicago is proof of Obama’s change.

Yes we can!

Eileen   September 18th, 2008 - 12:07 am

Dear Flim Flam Obamaman…your rich, elite, Hollywood friends aren’t doing too badly!

But you only care about the poor/middle class Americans, right?

Wrong! You are a millionaire elitist who likes to hob nob with rich “white” people! I don’t understand why the black community doesn’t see through you! You don’t care about that side of your family. Even when Michele was spouting about her black family at the convention…you were in the home of a “white” family!

You don’t care for the blacks of our country. You don’t care about the whites of our country. You have a bigger agenda and we are onto you! You are truly a Flim Flam Obamaman!

You will never succeed in being allowed to live in the people’s house – the White House! You are not good enough to live in that house. We don’t want your anti-American friends coming into our house. They want to destroy us and change our government to a Socialist government…that is your real platform…but it is a doomed platform!

We Americans love our country. We love our soverienty. We love our freedoms. We also are looking forward to the first term of the next President of the United States…John McCain.

Then and only then will America get back on track! He puts country first and party last! He is a man of honor, integrity, service and commitment! He and Vice President Elect Palin will bring the changes and reforms that we need in America to keep us the great country that we are!

They have my vote in November, and I, know, they will have the votes of the majority of Americans in November!

“FLIM FLAM”: DECEPTION, FRAUD, DOUBLE DEALING.

Wanker Limbaugh   September 18th, 2008 - 5:17 am

I may be worth hundreds of millions of dollars and have benefited from the Bush tax cuts for those of us with a little more, but as an American I just don’t see how a grand in my pocket will help me overall.

The taxpayer suckers are responsible for helping out the impoverished financial wizards of Wall Street under the Bush leadership principles.

Some of you may be thinking that the Ayn Rand ‘Virtues of Selfishness’ cult and business philosophy are somehow involved in all this financial mishap. There is nothing wrong with selfishness that selfishness can’t fix!

Why do you people insist that President Bush is responsible for anything? I just don’t get it.

Paul   September 18th, 2008 - 9:42 am

SouthSide, Are you serious? Last time I was in Chicago, all I heard about was the number of blacks being murdered.

Shirley   September 18th, 2008 - 3:52 pm

Bill Chicago,

I could substitute Republicans and/or McCain in the second paragraph of your 10:38 pm posting and agree with you, absolutely.
I’m not familiar with SouthSide Chicago. I’m curious what your involvement has been, beyond your diatribe. I trust you wouldn’t accuse Obama of being a do-nothing if you’re one.
About that 2-year old Democatic Congress: do you think the Republican administration has had any effect on getting things done?
On a personal note: you sound like a smug and nasty human being. As one who didn’t want this Administration, this war, or this corporate-run America, I’m glad I haven’t succumb to that.

merv   September 18th, 2008 - 4:18 pm

how can you tell when a politician is lying? their lips are moving. still holds true……..
