[QUOTE=Beafman]you use 512 billion dollars on military spending. That's more then most nations own national budget spending. Why not use 12 billion of them on schools instead?[/QUOTE] Because schools don't blow up deserts.
[QUOTE=Imapanda]**[b]He also plans to raise minimum wage to 9.50 dollars an hour by 2011, FUCK YEA[/b][/QUOTE] About damn time, fast food market will be forced to raise prices but at least the workers can get a decent pay.
Obama is fucking awesome. It's awesome that he won :patriot:
[QUOTE=Termy58]About damn time, fast food market will be forced to raise prices but at least the workers can get a decent pay.[/QUOTE] Yes, but if all prices over the nation rise then the real-term worth of the dollar falls. Suddenly the worker earning $9.50 is feeling the costs from the now heavily over-taxed middle classes who put the prices up in the businesses.
McCain tries to ford the election! His old age cripples him, and everyone in the wagon drowns! Obama wins!
[QUOTE=Imapanda]**Under the plan, if you like your current health insurance, nothing changes, except your costs will go down by as much as $2,500 per year. If you don’t have health insurance, you will have a choice of new, affordable health insurance options. **Pay Inequity Continues: For every $1.00 earned by a man, the average woman receives only 77 cents, while African American women only get 67 cents and Latinas receive only 57 cents. Obama's plan is to make everyone equal in earning by strengthening the federal hate crimes legislation. Expect to see rich mexicans with [i]ACTUAL[/i] jobs now. **Obama and Biden believe that we must build up our special operations forces, civil affairs, information operations, and other units and capabilities that remain in chronic short supply; invest in foreign language training, cultural awareness, and human intelligence and other needed counterinsurgency and stabilization skill sets; and create a more robust capacity to train, equip, and advise foreign security forces, so that local allies are better prepared to confront mutual threats. **[b]Provide a Tax Cut for Working Families:[/b] Obama and Biden will restore fairness to the tax code and provide 150 million workers the tax relief they need. Obama and Biden will create a new "Making Work Pay" tax credit of up to $500 per person, or $1,000 per working family. The "Making Work Pay" tax credit will completely eliminate income taxes for 10 million Americans, Also Eliminate Income Taxes for Seniors Making Less than $50,000 and Provide $50 billion to Jumpstart the Economy and Prevent 1 Million Americans from Losing Their Jobs. **[b]He also plans to raise minimum wage to 9.50 dollars an hour by 2011, FUCK YEA[/b] Goddamn look at that sexy president.

don't all the republicans realise that it's fucking bush who got you in this mess? He kept taxes as an unfeasibly low level whilst letting your country go down the shitter. he's doubled your national debt in his two terms. Mccain promising tax cuts? yeah that'll fucking work. dream on.

[QUOTE=Imapanda]The 90's were awesome bro, don't diss muh childhood.[/QUOTE] Surplus of money is a good thing, he wasn't dissing Clinton. :geno:
[QUOTE=slogsdon]People should realize, we are essentially going back to the tax system under Clinton, and he presided over a national surplus.[/QUOTE] I doubt obama is going to get us to a surplus even if 200 million taxpayers gave him an extra hundred dollars a month for 8 years, he'd only get about 1.9 trillion out of it. It's going to be a long time before we beat the debt we have
alexander hamilton beat a debt of slightly smaller size, so obama might be able to
[QUOTE=nono345]alexander hamilton beat a debt of slightly smaller size, so obama might be able to[/QUOTE] Alexander Hamilton was the first Secretary of the Treasury I think, so of course he was able to do that. He had experience with money, but he was as young as Obama is.

Ok, seriously, I don't get it. The vote is over, Obama won. And people are still complaining and telling shit. God damn it, it's over, the majority of the people voted for Obama, why can't some accept that. Others had to live 8 years under the hands of an incompetent man, who managed it, to fuck the financial system of the whole world up. The whole world is happy that Obama got choosen, and not McCain and his running gag (Palin fyi). Seriously, I don't get it. I hope Obama can lead the americans out of their misery. God luck, Mister Obama. :howdy:

Obama's speech was something nice after playing about 3 hours of nonstop RE4, it put me straight to sleep(I loved it, it didn't bore me) Rather then shitty repeats of Emmerdale, i mean REALLY?!? EMMERDALE AGAIN!?! IT'S 5AM!, anyway, yeah, obama, you've got my thumbs up!:dance:
Republicans / Democrats, it's all the same system. "Change" means non republican or non democrat. Otherwise you are going to have all the same problems as before with all the same people pulling the strings except the president has a higher approval rating to help him get away with it. You might not want that to be the case but that's just how it is I'm afraid. Until you refuse to go along with the charade, America will continue its long-engineered plunge into fascism (national socialism) controlled by the international bankers.
I loved both McCain's and Obama's speeches were amazing. And I am very glad that OBAMA won!

I thought Obama's speech was quite profound. I was also wondering, is Obama's " Yes We Can " slogan his own or has it been used before in politics?

WHY DID YOU MAKE ME READ A YOUTUBE COMMENT YOU MADE MY INTELLIGENCE DROP BY A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT I no longer like you.
[QUOTE=mephis]Change change change change¯ ™® That's why. His tax plan looks similar to socialism to me. And don't call me a hypocrite for saying that because I saw the bailout as socialism as well. I've always viewed the furthest left as socialist. And Obama is as far left as it gets, even more so than Nancy Pelosi.[/QUOTE] You have no idea what it is to be far left.

Alexander Hamilton got rid of a lot of debt by cutting tons of jobs. Go for it Obama! He also felt that a national debt is a good thing as it ensures peace and support as people have assets in you.
