    CHANGE for the Worse.
    HOPE not to be the next Jimmy Carter.
    • britt48, on 06/05/2008, -1/+0Interesting. Exactly what are the parallels of the moderate evangelical president Jimmy Carter of 1976-1980 and the liberal, Senator Barack Obama in 2008? Enlighten me as to what is significantly similar.
      • BadgerDigger, on 09/04/2008, -0/+1HOPE not to be the next Jimmy Carter is for if Obama become President.
        Obama would HOPE not to make inflation go to double digits like it did for Carter.
        Obama would HOPE not to have the national average unemployment rate rise to 7.7% like it did for Carter.
        Obama would HOPE not to make the same "poor choices" on Nation Defense like Carter did.
        yada yada yada...
        Obama would HOPE not to be a one term President like Carter.

        Unfortunately for Obama, I believe that many of his stances would recreate the Carter era.

  • jidawil, on 06/09/2008, -0/+0It is about time we start to move in a positive direction as a country. I am looking forward to an interesting future.
  • Sunshine570, on 06/11/2008, -0/+0I wish Hillary could have got it
    Dont any one think back to how free they was with money and the rights of USA
    When Bill Clinton was in there
    • jackieblu, on 06/12/2008, -0/+0Hillary should not be running on Bill's record. Besides they lie, and just tell people whatever they want to hear. Hillary was in charge of health-care for 8 years when Bill was in office, and that's how we ended up with managed care, HMO'S, and referrals. She made the situation worse. Sniper fire in Bosnia, I did not have sexual relations with that woman, oh yeah, I smoked pot but never inhaled, on and on... And just think - she's asking poor working class people to send her money - to pay off her campaign debt, which is basically paying herself back the 20 million she lent her campaign. I'm sure she doesn't want her net worth to drop below 100 million!
  • Brian4StateRep, on 06/28/2008, -0/+0Great Clear this up for me, because from what i hear Barack is just another rich Harvard professor whom while he was a Illinois state Legislator supported Tort Laws that solely benefited the rich.
    And i thought he supported Double payer health insurance, where we pay his rich friends First. Then his rich friends in some stock holders meeting chooses if it will benefit their stock holders to preform the procedure or not.---it's one thing to have insurance, it's another to be able to afford to use it.
    And i haven't even heard him say Taft-Hartley Yet--Oh by the way Barack Taft-Hartley is pro-worker, you know the people who do the work that pays your rich friend's bills.
