OT Foot, I had a long discussion about Obana vs. McCaian all night long from my Wash D.C. buddy visiting in Seattle. Obama is just plain bad. 1) He will raise corp/long term taxes. Who does that in a potential recession?? He will cause a possible recession/depression. 2) His stance on foreign policy is terrible. Why would the U.S. put Chaves or Amanajed on the same level as the U.S. To think that the president of the U.S. would meet with them directly is just plain crazy. Why give crazy dictators even the inkling that they are on the same footing as the U.S. or other allies in Europe when these 3rd world countries are nothing more than commodities and not world players. 3) The final straw is just the blatant lack of experience. It's not about black or white or asian and hispanic. (I am Asian so I know about plight and chips on shoulders. We harbor none it's all about opportunity and making the best of your situation. My dad came to this country with just 2 suitcases in the 1960s where he was spat on and told we don't rent to your kind.) With Obama its more about a lack of experience. What has Obama done since 1/06? Not much. Is he a vehicle of change? I don't know but I do know that he has done nothing as as a senator but talks a lot about change and has been campaigning since 2007 and 2008 as a democratic nominee for president. Talk about hardship. My dad is a legal U.S. citizen but loathes the fact that there are illegals. He worked hard and through the proper channels in order to be a Naturalized U.S. Citizen, he mastered English and 3 other languages (Spanish, Filipino and Chinese), but yet he finds it hard to accept that illegal aliens can cross the border so easily without the ability to understand or learn english nor care about the U.S. He knows more about U.S. history and can name every president from George Washington. How many U.S. Citizen can do that? I certainly can't! It breaks my heart sometimes to think about what previous generations had to go through and how easy it is for me or others.
