Yes we can, or I know you can't?

The Barackstar's adoring throngs chant, "Yes we can!"
But his approach to governing is more like, "People, I know you can't do it yourselves, so I'm going to do it for you."
He'll fill out your tax forms.
He'll fill out your financial aid applications.
He'll absolve you of the responsibility for making sensible credit choices.
He'll pay for your college education.
He'll increase benefits to seniors so they can live in the moment while still in their working years.
He'll protect workers from the tyranny of the secret ballot when they're faced with a decision on unionizing.
He'll design a medical care/finance system because he knows that unleashed American creativity could not possibly be adequate to the task.
He'll inspire you to chant "yes we can" when what he really means is, I know you can't.
But we're okay with that, because he's not George Bush.
And we always wanted to get the smart kid to do our homework for us, anyway.
Just like the Rs blindly followed George Bush to garner one of the lowest favorability ratings ever? Obama and a D congress will change this nation - for the better. The reason your revered RR got things done as president is that he went around congress right to the people. Obama will do the same thing and the middle class will be the winners.
come on he is the most liberal senator in congress , the winner will be the dirt poor folks who will get more of the working mans dough ....
"the winner will be the dirt poor folks who will get more of the working mans dough .."
If I believed that, I might be inclined to understand the people who vote for these charlatans. The winners will be politicians who get bridges and libraries named after themselves and who, along with their families and friends, live luxurious lifestyles. Destroying the country's productivity hurts the dirt poor the most; rationing will be the inevitable result. Addicting generations to government dependence hurts them and the country, indeed the world. How many potential Eli Whitneys, Henry Fords, Louis Pasteurs, George Washington Carvers are sitting on a couch today, waiting for their next government check? America became the leader of the free world because of the opportunities she offered to people willing to strive to make themselves better, not because of politicians with sacks of goodies they confiscated from those achievers.
How can you guys even have the nerve to complain about Obama after eight years of your guy in office - especially when he had a republican congress for six of those years?? How much budget cutting did you see during those years? What great changes did he make? And then you nominate McCain as your great savior?? I heard him today talking about carrying on the war in Iraq. And that's going sit well with the American public? You had a chance to show us what you can do. You blew it.
Democrat....
That last post is the reason so many that feel/think as I do do not want McCain....Bush DID blow it. Which makes it darn hard to disagree with that stinging post. While Bush did significantly more in his 8 years than the previous President, much of what he did was NOT conservative...and as you say, we had a chance. Damn.
