I didn't buy into Obama. I didn't vote four years ago. But I had more faith in Obama than I did McCain.
People don't understand what we just went through. This isn't about high unemployment - this recession nearly took out a dozen countries and their governments. We are lucky it didn't become a full fledged depression. Half the people on my street lost their houses - HALF.

Well, what is his plan? All I've heard so far is he's going to increase spending to the military while reducing taxes and the deficit - all the while increasing jobs. He makes it sound so easy. Well, how is he gonna do it? Other than shutting down PBS and killing off Big Bird, how is he gonna do it?

What friends is he giving out money to? He must have some friends here in Sacramento in my home town, being as some of the stimulus money went for a $300 million freeway bypass that JUST opened this weekend. (Thanks for that btw.)
They say this about every politician - "He gives away the money to his friends". Who?

A lot of people dismiss the military thinking it's all about war and killing people. Our military is so much more than that. Our military is a massive training school that employs millions and creates all of the technology we have here.
