Change
I listened to Barack Obama's speech in Virginia Saturday night. I have to say: Obama is bright, articulate, passionate, charismatic, and completely wrong. Change is his the buzzword. Change in Iraq, change in foreign policy, change in healthcare, change in this, change in that. Change. Throughout the entirety of the speech he promised everything to everybody. If you had a malady or a problem, if you were poor or oppressed he was proposing change for you. With all the changes he was proposing I never caught on to how Obama was going to make all of those changes, or what those changes would cost. Or most importantly: what freedoms his changes were going to take away. Yes, Obama is bright, articulate, passionate, charismatic, and completely wrong.

Explain the logic? What a great country!
I read this reply/comment on the web the other day.
“HugoPh
Typical GOP and Cons!! Find the multimillionaire that used family influence to avoid the Military (W, Romney) and elect them while disparaging the real American! When will Repubtards wake up and realize that prior to Reagan 12 Billioanires existed in the U.S. After Reagan's 8 years over 100 and now post W over 440!! The GOP serves their Billionaire base well and the mindless lemmings follow! “
There are so many things wrong with this comment that it is hard to know where to start. I wonder where this person thinks all of that money came from? Stolen from the hard working poor and middle classes? The American economy is not a zero sum game where for one to win the other must lose. It is a win win game. The poor in America have a standard of living equal to middle class Europeans. Many own their own home and most own their own car. Studies also show that there are fewer people now in the poor and middle class because they are moving upward, not downward, upward.
What a great country; where everyone has the opportunity to work hard, make good choices, and create or become anything they want.
