    Diayana,

    I do hope you will still be saying that next year but i doubt it, i find it odd that he appeared out of nowhere with unlimited funds these people will all want paying back in one way or another President Bliar did it by handing out government contracts or titles.

    As stated many times on the E & S sites things are going to get a lot worse, we have a communist government that out does the old Russian/Chinese system wait to see how Obama fits in

    Get snouts out the trough party

    In my opinion Obama has not provided sufficient evidence in favour of his right to become President – his track record is questionable, he has hardly said or done anything beyond making sweeping generalisations and his policies have been practically non-existent as far as media coverage is concerned. I would have chosen Dr. Ron Paul, but there again, Dr. Paul didn’t have the corporate backing..that in my opinion is what is wrong not only in American politics, but with America itself. Obama is a globalist, plain and simple, and he’s used race and ‘trendyness’ to get where he is – God help America.
