I know what Obama keeps saying. 'Hope' 'Change' 'Trust me' yadda yadda yadda

But I've never once heard HOW he plans to do any of this.

Except his old standby - tax the rich. Let them pay for everything.

Problem is, this week there are a lot less people who qualify as 'rich' in the USA.

So NOW who's going to pay for his promises?

I don't wanna do it.

He is going to open up the federal tax plan to all Americans and not just to the federal employees - you hear him say it - "I want you to have the same insurance that John McCain and myself have" - that's how. It won't be free, but it will be available to you, it won't require you to go to a certain doctor, it will only be affordable insurance for people who otherwise do not have insurance.

Iraq war..what did it accomplish
Im no Saddam lover, neither do I love Bush, however, seems to me under Saddam, the people had jobs, electricity to help with fans under the 125+ heat, food, a stable way of life, fresh water, security in the streets. It has been said under this new regimen women have less freedom and rights and under the regimen that will be voted in, they will have even less rights. Who has killed more Saddam or Bush? We should have NEVER invaded Iraq, I cannot believe the destruction and death we have caused over NOTHING. Bush, Cheney, et al..need to be brought up on war criminal charges..As of today, only 38% of American people think the war in Iraq was justified..
