    Default In The Week Of The Worst Day On Wallstreet, What Does Obama Do?

    He says how bad things are and how he wants to change it, But what does he do on the week of the worst day on Wallstreet? Has a $29,000 per plate dinner tonight for his campaign in Beverly Hills......

    Not to mention that the Democratic controlled congress has passed the fewest bills in 20 years. So much for Democrats bringing change. They decided to go on vacation instead of passing legislation to deal with the energy crisis.

    Do you look at how much McCain's wife's outfits cost? Over 300 thousand dollars.

    Typical Democrat Bull sh*t . LOL instead of going yea umm that is kinda weird you come back with some stupid **** on how much McCain's wife wardrobe is worth. What the hell does that have to do with the price of tea in China?

    I think the Dems are really playing on something from Swordfish here misdirection. "What the eyes see and the ears hear the mind believes"

    What the hell does the price of Obama's meal have to do with running the country? Obama's meal is as relevant as Mrs. McCain's dress.

    So...what is the looming national importance of either?

    These are the types of "political issues" that are quite frankly ruining this election's politics. These "kiddie" issues are irrelevant and small. Gotta look at the big picture.

    Dont forget that it's one sided. When your bring up the "kiddie" issues such as Palin having a pregnant teenage daughter, the "kiddie" issues aren't relevant then.

    It's relevant. They are talking about how expensive Obama's dinners are, and I'm talking about how expensive that cvnt's dresses are. You've ruined this with your pointless war and breaks for the criminally wealthy while the lower middle class is continually stressed.

    Take the tea in china and shove it in your tight laced, republican *******.

    for the record, I'm not a democrat. I'm a liberal.

    I didn't know it was a crime to make money.Last I checked in a Capitalistic society you were ENCOURAGED to make money NOT PUBLISHED. And since our economy is in the tubes because for the most part PEOPLE AREN'T MAKING MONEY.Banks are closing, the government is having to bail these companies out because they didn't do their job in the first place yet you want to tax them more than they already are being taxed? That makes so much fuccing sense. They should let you be President.

    And I could careless if you're republican,democrat,liberal, or conservative. You have single handedly proved that stupidity has no party limits.

    You've proven that it's ****ING CONTAGIOUS. Must have come from spending extended periods of time with lapsed religious nutjobs and die hard republicans.

    WTF does that have to do with the election? It is her money and she can spend it on whatever she wants.


    I bet Michelle Obama's outfits aren't from wal-mart either with the kind of money that they have.

    Don't bother dude.

    I will never understand this line of thinking of if you make $1,000,000 a year then it's ok that the government takes 35% because you still have $650,000 and that you really don't need all that money anyways.

    Yep, it's because "they can afford it" according to Obama. The person making $1,000,000 a year clearly worked harder than someone making minimum wage. So the person making $1,000,000 a year gets punished for hard work while the minimum wage worker gets rewarded with government assistance.

    What you said is not necessarily true. I believe the majority of people in this country work hard no matter how much money they make the way I look at it is that some people simply made better decisions or got an opportunity and ran with it.

    This is the best way I know to sum it up. Who is most likely to give you a job, a rich man or a poor man? Now what happens if you take all that rich man's money away? You don't have a job.

The financial market has been in the news for months and even during the nomination process, all the candidates were raising money and no one, I didn't see any IA threads, complained. So, what is the difference between the nomination fundraising and the financial crisis and now?

    Is there a problem with either candidate raising money for their campaign? Has that become immoral?

    To me Democrat or Republican, in these times when they know the economy sucks, and they are basing thier campaigns on it, Having a $29,000 per plate funraiser for a campaign just goes against what they preach to me.

    **For the record, I dont agree with either side having $29,000 per plate fund raisers for thier campaign, when they are both as concerened for the economy as they claim, this to me just says they care but then says pay be $30 grand for a plate of food so I can spend it to advertise on TV

    If that is the case, that point should have been made in you original post instead of complaining about Obama. Not trying to say you are wrong, but starting off with an unbiased starting post makes for a better discussion.

    What does that have to do with his ability to run the country? Fund raising dinners? This post is as bad as the media when it comes to things that are not even related to issues in the real world.

    Seriously, I know people have support for their candidates, but making something out of nothing is .

    When you see "issues" such as these in the media, particularly prevalence on certain outlets, you can clearly see were the biases are. At the same, when these issues are focused upon, those "die-hard" supporters cling to this issues as reasons to discredit the opposition.

    The real questions regard these "issues": Why do I care? Of what importance is this?

    In the end, these "issues" are meaningless. I say so, "so what, big whoop, who cares?"

    For 29 grand I hope he's serving A-5 Kobe Ribeyes (JDM, if you will) with a copy of the cow's birth certificate bound in a folder made from its hide.
