Who's the next president?

Now they are trying to link Obama to Khalidi which somebody forgot to check the fact that McCain gave the same guy almost $450k back in '98.

See: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20081030/ap_on_el_ge/fact_check_obama_ad

As you can see in the link above, Obama is really not promising much of anything. (To be fair, neither is McCain.) You can tell by his use of words to get himself out of trouble later (if he becomes president). Indigent (that word again!) families with children ALREADY have free child care coverage. Obama is just saying this to get people's attention, but it is already available. He is NOT promising 100% adult healthcare coverage...he just said that his plan will be more affordable...isn't that similar to what everyone is trying to do (including McCain)?? He will force corporations to help out on healthcare coverage for employees...so, employers will still provide coverage...as they do now for most companies with full-time employees.

So, after a night's rest, i actually feel better about Obama. Why? There won't be any drastic change in anything. Lobby groups are too strong in our country. McCain will be the same way if he gets elected.

Four more years of the same for either candidates? We will see.

BTW, have you notice? When gas prices go up, everyone takes their aim at Bush. When gas prices go low, no one says anything about Bush (good or bad). Bush has very little to do with gas prices. We live in a society that can't see pass it's nose.

Are you mental??!!

Let me go real slow here...see: http://mw1.m-w.com/dictionary/indigent

INDIGENT = suffering from indigence

INDIGENCE = a level of poverty in which real hardship and deprivation are suffered and comforts of life are wholly lacking = poverty
-----------------------------------------------------

So, no, i did NOT misspell. It is a term that the medical field uses often to describe people who lack means to pay. Nothing more, nothing less.

WTF are you talking about??!! Again, you're totally out of line in your previous personal attack. :mad: It is amazing...you took something that i wrote...stupidly not research the term...made dumb assumptions...and then made personal attacks.

Before you go on your next crusade to save the world from Republicans, maybe you should go back to school first.

Thanks for clearing it up and making yourself look a bit foolish!

I'll grant you that, my bad.

I totally apologize, misinterpreted the word and it changed the whole meaning of what I thought you wrote. Egg in my face, I admit.

That's cool...no problem. Like i said earlier, i thought that you are a nice guy...just with the wrong philosophy! :D
 
This one is priceless...when you are faking a pose for a camera photo opportunity with the American flag, at least get the phone turned in the right direction!!!

Lets see some more outrageous pics (of either candidates)!

There was one going around with Bush holding the phone the wrong way that was photoshopped as well.

Yeah, but kind of taken out of context. I believe McCain was joking around as he didnt know whether to go around the table to shake the mod's hand or not, so the press got a lucky photo of him like tha t lol!

Article:

For the second time in a week, a prominent Democrat has downgraded Barack Obama's definition of the middle class -- leading Republicans to question whether he'll stick to his promise not to raise taxes on anyone making under $250,000.

The latest hiccup in the campaign message came Friday morning on KOA-AM, when New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson pegged the middle class as those making $120,000 and under.

"What Obama wants to do is he is basically looking at $120,000 and under among those that are in the middle class, and there is a tax cut for those," Richardson said in the interview, according to a clip posted on YouTube.

There's no indication that Obama has changed his tax policy, which states that anyone making under $200,000 would get a tax cut under his administration, and nobody making under $250,000 would be hit with a tax increase. Richardson actually recited that part of Obama's plan correctly earlier in his radio interview.

But Sarah Palin accused Obama of shifting the threshold Friday afternoon at a rally in York, Pa.

"So now we're down to less than half of the original income level," she said, citing Richardson's interview. "We can't let this happen."

And the Republican National Committee quickly blasted out an e-mail saying, "At this rate, it won't take long until Obama is again raising taxes on Americans making as little as $42,000 a year."

"When Barack Obama comes to your door this Halloween, there will be no treats -- just taxes," the e-mail said.

Joe Biden caused headaches for the campaign Monday when he told a Scranton, Pa., TV station that Obama's tax break "should go to middle class people -- people making under $150,000 a year."

John McCain said the tax threshold was "creeping down," while the Obama campaign accused him of lying about Obama's tax policies.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Uh-oh, the tax bracket is getting lower and lower, according to Biden and Richardson. :(

And yes, i have a "virtue of selfishness" with my hard-earned money! :D
