    How do you tell a communist? Well, it's someone who reads Marx and Lenin. And how do you tell an anti-Communist? It's someone who understands Marx and Lenin.

    If things get worse, my dad may be out of a job altogether and he may go under. Bush may have high hopes of getting us out of this recession but I have serious doubts.

    Bush got us into this recession and many people like my dad are suffering. I doubt that John McCain can end this recession either.

    Bush's dad also got us in a recession and it took a democrat to get us out of it. Republican Presidents tend to get us into recessions. Democrat Presidents don't.

    President Hoover was a republican and he was the President when the Great Depression began. At the moment George Bush is as popular as Hoover and that's not very popular.

    I doubt that McCain can do a better job than Bush. On November the 4th Obama is going to be my choice.
    What exactly did the President do to hurt your fathers bonus?

    You must have a different definition of "significantly" than I do.

    the op sounds just like a typical Obambam supporter...

    blame everyone else for things that happen in the REAL WORLD...

    "A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself."

    I just don't think they understand. If you kill off the producers with high taxes they'll have to fend for themselves. Maybe they should try to get a job from (what they call) a poor person and see how that works out.
