You seem correct in your assertion. Where will the money come from as these Agents of change,Hilary and Obama, move their agendas forward. Also if Obama can state that he would attack Pakistan if intelligence knew Bin Laden was in their territory, why would he not fully disclose his initiatives here in the US. He has often talked about universal health care and driver licenses to illegal aliens. He may have briefly discussed economics on the "stump" but he has largely remained general in his ideas which all good political candidates demonstrate. Rather than attack Obama or Mc Cain or Clinton we as a people need to determine how we can best help ourselves. Obviously WF members are attempting to do more than wait for rebates from the government. So I respect all of you for that regardless of where your political affiliations may lay.
As for Obama supporters; they really must come to the table better than Senator Kirk Watson. Yes he is a Senator and they do "vote" on legislation, yet he has only proposed legislation that you can count on one hand. Does that make him a bad person or a bad Senator? Who can say. We do know that he has a rather young career in government and he has kept his nose clean so far which is troubling. Troubling only because if there are no skeletons in one's closet now, do they start to materialize when one achieves a higher position? I would prefer a more active politician because I know what issues they stand for and against. Both Hilary and Clinton held off voting on the troop surge until it was apparent that the bill would move forward. Playing it safe will not help to turn around the issues facing our Republic. We will need more than motivational speeches. We will need works and actions. Surely Clinton will address that part of his campaign during the debate tonight.
P.S. Political threads are common during election years. I would be surprised if there are more than a handful of comments if this thread was started 2 years ago.
