I believe that he wants to change things, and that he is as fed up with the state of things as the rest of us. Do I think he can do all that he wants? Probably not. But I'd bet money (which is in short supply these days!) that he will do more to accomplish it than anyone else. <BR/><BR/>I copmpletely agree that Hillary is polarizing- it was what first led me to Obama... <BR/><BR/>And my one little dig- I would rather have a president screw his intern than screw his country. (and yes, I FULLY believe that NO, and an economy that has sucked much longer than 2 months, tax cuts, war spending, etc etc etc are the fault of this president and a repulican congress....) But that's just my opinion. OK, so I guess I couldn't keep my mouth shut... sorry.=)Krishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15789846221498778621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17782569.post-30074120605181792732008-02-06T13:01:00.000-07:002008-02-06T13:01:00.000-07:00Thanks for the comments STB.

Partly because debates, while fun, are usually fruitless, and mostly because I had my chance to spout off there, so you should have your chance here.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08837529956827141862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17782569.post-74637328296880852402008-02-06T12:32:00.000-07:002008-02-06T12:32:00.000-07:00Face it, N.O. was screwed up by the city and the s...Face it, N.O. was screwed up by the city and the state, not the feds. Iraq was mishandled but going much better now. Please don't make it sound like Clinton made the White House classy. He was and is still a blemish on the history of our nation.<BR/><BR/>Bush's economic plan worked. You cannot point at the last 2 months and claim it wipes away what he accomplished through his tax cuts. Those cuts- which should be kept because they put more money in the government coffers- should be kept.<BR/><BR/>Social Security is a mess because Democrats keep insisting it is fine and won't do anything to fix it. They view it as their money, not our money.<BR/><BR/>Small businesses benefit from the tax breaks as larger corporations buy from them. You cannot deny the tax cuts worked, unless you expect the government to take care of everybody. Seriously, you think the government can run health care?StBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01363699522256218332noreply@blogger.com
