Do people really think that Obama is going to do worse than Bush has done in the past eight years?
His party controls congress which gives him an edge. Considering the "Affordable Housing" debacle caused this financial mess and this was the Democrat's baby. The Current Democrat Party seems to think that the "Great Society" (a Dismal economic failure) is worth not only continuing but expanded as well. National Health Care (VA Quality), Nationalizing our financial sector, Nationalizing our retirement (proposed confiscation of 401K's and IRA's using the Argentina model) and "Redistribution of Wealth." These are seizures of Capital and distribution thereof under government (community) control and by definition Socialism. 1. a theory or system of social organization that advocates the vesting of the ownership and control of the means of production and distribution, of capital, land, etc., in the community as a whole. 2. procedure or practice in accordance with this theory. 3. (in Marxist theory) the stage following capitalism in the transition of a society to communism, characterized by the imperfect implementation of collectivist principles.
Conservatives/Republicans - Do you agree with anything that Obama has done?
What has he done that they should agree with? He continually places the priority of military decisions below everything else he does. He has been trying to befriend enemies while shrugging aside our allies as though they don't exist. He hasn't presented any remote signs of transparency in government as promised. He hasn't done a single thing to solve the spending problems in government as he claimed he would. The majority of people he has nominated to positions either have been involved in questionable activities or direct corruption or have absolutely no knowledge on the things they have control over. He's been promoting health care reform that decreases care quality and availability while increasing costs. He's put us in a significant danger of inflation in the coming years. He put a lot of focus on promoting the Chicago Olympic bid while so many important issues are going on here in the country (and then failed miserably at it). The only thing he's done has spent us significantly further into debt than Bush left us.
Do you think Obama is doing a good job so far?
He has no longer stored even one in all his pre-election supplies you, nor has he accomplished one valuable situation he has mentioned he grew to become into going to do after his election. His approval score has dropped significantly considering the fact that his election and if he wasn't black, his rankings may be even decrease...loads of blacks can assist him basically because of the fact he's black. He won the Nobel Peace Prize basically after he grew to become into elected, an award he neither deserved then nor now, and his spouse is a racist that has an air of entitlement. he's letting the banks and massive companies abuse and what can purely be defined as steal from the yankee people. So, in a be conscious...No!
Do you think Obama wil bring us to the end of the world?
It's my belief that yes Obama aka "Obamanation" or "Nobama" will bring the world to an end in the year 2012. There are facts that are shown that can prove this theory. People long ago have written that one day a Muslim ruler will rule or three years a peaceful and happy nation and by the fourth year of his ruling havoc will be caused around the world. It has also been said that Hussein is a feared name, which is Obama's middle. Another myth is that the anti-Christ has no sons; Obama only has daughters. Superstition? I would say yes, but the fact that all if this is acting in place there isn't really much to believe anymore, now is there? Is there truly a so called "God"? If and only if this superstition passes and this disgrace of a president ruins the world then yes, a so called "God" is at hand for the doing of this travesty. People believe we need a change. What is this change that Obama has suckered everyone into believing? Could it possibly be the change of the end of the world? People need to open their eyes, America isn't ready a black President. The world might not come to an end,but America could possibly see its self falling into a black abyss. People are going to be outraged look at the Aryn race they're a huge underground race and are going to be outraged by the election of Americas new president. To conclude what has been said, America isn't ready for "change" and 2012 is no myth.
Is it just killing conservatives that Obama is popular here, abroad AND the economy is recovering?
the sole factor I provide Obama direct credit for is for "chilling the international out" and convalescing foreign places family members via a extensive margin across the international. As to each thing else, he's spending money and it somewhat is helping some human beings and a few jobs yet those "projects" are in particular no longer "improve engines" which will create jobs and improve the financial device, and so on. it is what desires to take place, and all of those products is debt-financed which desires to be paid returned. additionally, the loan resets do no longer even top till next summer so there is going to be greater homes being dumped and an increasing style of greater till next summer so housing expenses are going to proceed to plummet ... those are all purely numbers real? nicely, in my small community we had a million homestead get foreclosed on approximately 2 years in the past and this year we've had 2 homes get foreclosed on which comprise the homestead real next to mine and that i think it's going to be 3 homes in 2010 based on the macro traits. After next summer issues will start to point off returned, despite if, as an previous buddy says, "the U.S. can't proceed to exist merchandising hamburgers to a minimum of one yet another" and there are purely some genuine financial improve engines interior the country at the instant.
Why does everyone think Obama can achieve world peace?
..the vast majority of our next war, engagement, conflict, occupation, [what ever you want to call it] has already been laid out. The last 8 years of foundations, architecture, details, criteria, and preparation to launch this country into the next conflict will be inherent with the new presidency, not willingly assumed, but inherent. The best we can hope for is a global distraction..and we may well have just obtained that. Association of 'elitist attitude' with global economic chaos is quite a stretch.
Do you think Obama is racist?
Someone was telling me how they think Obama is racist. She pulled a few quotes from his book: "The point I was making was not that Grandmother harbors any racial animosity. She doesn't. But she is a typical white person..." "That’s just how white folks will do you." "If [black] nationalism could create a strong and effective insularity, deliver on its promise of self-respect, then the hurt it might cause well-meaning whites, or the inner turmoil it caused people like me, would be of little consequence." "I can no more disown (Jeremiah Wright) than I can disown the black community." "I ceased to advertise my mother’s race at the age of twelve or thirteen, when I began to suspect that by doing so I was ingratiating myself to whites." "To avoid being mistaken for a sellout, I chose my friends carefully. The more politically active black students. The foreign students. The Chicanos. The Marxist professors and structural feminists." "I learned to slip back and forth between my black and white worlds. One of those tricks I had learned: People were satisfied so long as you were courteous and smiled and made no sudden moves. They were more than satisfied; they were relieved -- such a pleasant surprise to find a well-mannered young black man who didn't seem angry all the time." "The emotions between the races could never be pure; even love was tarnished by the desire to find in the other some element that was missing in ourselves. Whether we sought out our demons or salvation, the other race would always remain just that: menacing, alien, and apart."
How are we going to put up with knowing Obama, Oprah, and Michelle are racist?
It is interesting what some will do for votes and to appear a team member. All I can say is Lyndon Johnson, President after Kennedy's assasination, was a pro segregationist member of congress. However, once president, he personally introduced more pro civil rights legislation than any other president in USA history, which is probably his greatest achievement. It is hard to know why Barak and Wife stayed in that church with Rev. Wright unless he and wife tell the truth and come clean. My guess is that it seemed the politically correct thing to do. NOW, Barak has come out against his former minister's hate policies. I think, in light of many things, he's probably misleading to an extent, not always doing the right thing the first time. Yet, this is exactly what he claims to do and why we should not support Hillary. He says he believes in Jesus, and did not walk his talk. The real test of a man or woman's integrity is their walk, their actions and deeds,not their talk. Barak accepted money from Nuclear lobbyists in his state to allow them to do what they do in his state, and it harmed citizens' health. That is enough for me not to vote for him. On the other hand, Hillary is a liar when she said she has been serving for 35 years. She has, in fact, only been ELECTED NY state senator for a relatively short time. She has little track record of significance in government. and her demeanor has been one where she is tried to Bill, no matter what. She had to be in favor of NAPTA, which has hurt the USA working class a whole lot. A big NO for Hillary too. Tool bad edwards dropped out!!! McCain is totally anti people and anti the working class, far away in left field. I supported Kucinch and now, I support Cynthia McKinney. Look her up!!!
What does the phrase “winner take all” mean in presidential elections?
It has to do with the electoral college. Each state has a certain number of electoral college "points" (or votes) and that it literally how the president is elected in this country. The number of points for each state is based on the population for that state. The smallest number is 3 -- several states with small populations have 3 electoral votes. California has the largest with 55, and all the other states are somewhere in between. The way it works is -- let's say a majority of voters in California vote for Obama -- "winner take all" means that ALL the electoral votes in California go for Obama, whether he has won the majority by a huge number or a small number. He gets all of California's 55 electoral votes. This is how it works in each state. (Nebraska and Maine are exceptions where it is not "winner take all" - - i have no idea why.) What this system means (and lots of people think the electoral college should be eliminated or changed) is that someone could win a majority of votes in the nation and still not win a majority of the electoral college votes and therefore not become president. If you want a more detailed explanation just look up electoral college on the internet.
