I didn't vote for obama, although i did like the guy, but when i thought about it as far as the federal budget and economics go things he says just don't add up.

What really got me was the "big rich people tax break". It really is a joke... he was doing an interview on MTV. He said he would return that tax level on them to the level it was under Clinton, which was 39%. Right now it is.....36.5%! Thats right, only about a 10% tax break is what Bush gave em. Now Obama says he would just return their taxes to that level and still give 95% of the population a tax break while being able to balance the budget and provide money for new education, energy, and healthcare plans. It just don't add up on paper. Even if you reverse everyone of Bush's tax cuts and finalize the Iraq war there is still a deficit.

The bottom line is this. If he does everything he said he would he has to raise taxes on everyone, there isn't away around it. I do like the guy and do wish him the best, it would be nice if everything works out and goes to plan. I was really happy to see that only a week after the election he has already put together a committee to try to save the economy and end the recession. Still I think he won't be able to deliver everything he said he would, he set the bar to high and people will hold him to his promises he made in the election.

I've even read that this is what the conservatives wanted to see, McCain wasn't really a conservative nor is Bush. Obama is in a similar situation as Carter was as he inherited an economy in recession and a military trying to rebuild. It plays in thier hands because Obama will not be able to carry out many programs he wanted do to a weak economy and trying to finalize the Iraq war. The Repulicans hope is that history will repeat itself and that a strong republican such as Reagan will emerge as president in 2012.

I got the board game to. I honestly get stumped sometimes on the 1st grade stuff at times. All the math and science stuff is easy, but its all the little nursery ryhmes and such that I don't remember anymore that they ask on some of the 1st grade questions.

politically the issue is a joke, at least from what I can tell

the repulicans turn the other cheek because businesses what illegals to work for them for cheap labor and keeping the business world in thier favor is the repulicans bread and butter making sure they have more finances then dems.

Democrats on the other hand are trying to covet the Hispanic vote and would not want to do anything to upset, so they also will not do anything on the issue.

It doesn't matter which party they are, they are just politicians trying to keep thier job or get one. They would all deny they are doing anything just to keep thier office, but its the truth. The only party that tried to make an issue of illegal immigration seriously was the Reform party under Buchannan in 2000 and they totally flopped.
