We're sitting on millions of acres of valuable land, sell some of that. Who in the hell is going to pay back the trillion dollars? How about starting w/the mare in Cali who saw fit to have 8 kids on top of 6 already with no means of support other than the goverment. Less Government not more is the answer I'd like to hear.

what does the government have to do with the woman in california? if you want LESS govt, then certainly the govt could do nothing to stop her. if they were to step in, and involve themselves by telling her she was at her limit, that is MORE govt, not less.
now, that particular story sounds a bit fishy, but i don't know what you expect barack obama to do about it.
as for the bailout-i don't know that it's any better, or any worse, than the one george bush pushed thru. i don't like the amount of debt piling up, and think that could be worse for the long term health of our economy than a recession/depression would be. we've pulled ourselves out of every other one of these without a bailout....

as for supporting obama--i don't know how one goes about doing that, other than to maybe not jump on every issue running down the pike to rush into a thread here. seriously tho, don't panic, don't rush to judgement, and don't expect the change he spoke of to happen overnight-if at all. if there's one thing people don't like, it's change.
