Obama - good for Americans
 
This is a thread to convince all us non believers- so let's hear all the good that Obama will do :tro:

Oh.... and bashing McCain or Palin or Bush or the GOP not considered as evidence of good.:(

Does the "free stuff" count?

Thread violation


Dala just give me some positive things that Obama is going to do...if he indeed is going to be the next President. I would like to start feeling good about what he will do. You have posted many many times against McCain and Palin.

Here is a chance to point out the good your guy can or will do :tro:

LOL..how is it loaded..it is just a simple question.. I am not Timmi.

Like I said you have been very critical of McCain/Palin so that must mean you support the ideas Obama has for the country. I would just like to know what ones draws your support....no trickery..... just a simple question.

I promise i will give you a thoughtful answer on this but it is 11:34 and I am looking at football stuff. I promise i will answer but seeing as how you replied in such a gentlemanly way, I owe you a thoughtful response that i cant currently give.

You are talking McCain and im thinking mcnabb. ;)

:rolleyes: I was looking for the list of free stuff you're always talking about.
Free healthcare is good but as for the free porn, we have Coach for that. As far as I know, he hasn't started charging a fee yet.

hi_im_god 10-12-2008 10:44 AM

it's a bit of a chore to come up with something of substance that doesn't draw a distinction with the last 8 years, geek.

it's like asking me to describe how i'll be a better driver than a drunk teenager but i'm not allowed to mention i won't drive the car off a cliff.

I will now take the mandatory time-out for thread violation.:wf

Danzig 10-12-2008 10:46 AM

13 replies. not one with a good thing obama will do.

as for the drunk teenager thing....you could say that you would keep the car on the road, that would say you're the better driver without saying what the teen would/would not do.

i think most think the best thing obama would do is not be bush.

pretty much dead on accurate for me.

he has some intellectual heft and isn't afraid to hear a contrary opinion. he has a realistic world view and understands the limits of hard power.

it might be a violation, but it's true. that's why no one has yet put up anything he will do, as no one probably has an idea what he will accomplish.

as for his intelligence, we could use a lot of common sense in our leaders as well. we can't buy groceries with philosophy.

geeker2 10-12-2008 11:21 AM

OK................. Obama proposes a tax cut for the Middle Class - How much can I expect to get?

I mean is it like $2000? Because that will work, but if it is something like $20 I can't get too excited.

Does anybody know?

lol
as much as CONGRESS wants to give you. that's why i shake my head every four years about the presidential elections. all the president can do is ask congress to bring about legislation, tax cuts, increases, etc. it's up to your representatives and senators to work out the details. the president only has veto power over what they send him. he can sign it, or not. just like the president has to ask permission to wage war, for treaty approval, etc. too many people think the president can do far more than he actually can.
i still think we should have term limits in congress, and the president should have line item veto powers.

Technically this is incorrect. The president needs the authority of congress to "declare war". However, the president can recognize a "state of war" and bomb anyone he wants without permission from congress.

You guys gripe about having to pick between
Obama and McCain when it was Bush v. Gore
and Bush v. Kerry?

Man how quickly we forget.
