Barack Obama will become the 44th President! He's well-educated, well-dressed, and an articulate speaker! Certainly not the ‘mutt' he calls himself, even as a joke, when talking about the new dog for his daughters. Taxpayers feel Barack Obama will stick to his words “to cut programs until America is free of debt!” Making ‘Fair Tax', to include property tax, must be top priority! Hopefully, since Obama has children, he'll understand the need to cut Politicians salaries to $12,000.00, with no freebies or huge retirement accounts and not go along with the usual 'tax & spend' fat cats that's bankrupting America, since without these critical cuts and changes, none of our children have a future! At best, it'll be past year 2050, with the $12,000.00 yearly salaries, before America will rebound! Folks, this is serious! Americans, of all races, voted for change! Statements made ‘I voted for Obama because blacks have been at bottom of totem pole too long, and he's vindicated us!' First of all, Obama is as much white as he's black! You put yourself on the bottom because of your lifestyle! Not working, living off social, welfare programs, and having too many illegitimates is your choice! Bankruptcy is the only choice for these 'greedy, non-caring, lack of common knowledge, high-dollar fat cats' as without re-organizing, backing up and thinking for a change, their disasters will put America into Bankruptcy! Then what happens to America's future? Government, on all levels, must run like a private business, eliminating jobs, cutting salaries and freebies, or our children won't have a future! Bailouts shouldn't be an option for Freddie, Fannie, AIG, Big 3 or anyone else taking Taxpayers' money! AIG, two weeks after it received $85 billion, senior executives took a $440,000.00 resort trip. CEO is now taking a $1 a year salary! Yeah right? He insists on providing $400 million in "retention" bonuses for 2,000 in upper management. On average, that's a $200,000.00 present! Come to think of it, their lack of common knowledge, greed, and I don't care attitude, helped promote Nafta and Cafta which wound up eliminating jobs! Even to a dummy, this means "time to cut production on automobiles, stop building houses, as people no longer have jobs to pay for anything! Doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure this out! Taxpayers will give politicians, CEOS, and other fat cats a couple choices "A one-way ticket across the ocean with only the clothes on their backs, as their bank accounts, homes, and anything else of value belongs to Taxpayers and must be used to pay off trillions of dollars of debt they're sticking Taxpayers with!" OR, a recent cartoon, put them in state jails (not federal country clubs) and throw away the keys! While I'm on a roll,"Why would these high-dollar criminals think they're Royalty?" You can't make a 'Silk Purse' from a 'Pig's Ear'! They're not as good as the ones the court system, puts in state jails, daily, for robberies, forgeries, and fraud!

Elder hits the mud pit yet again---slander of the democratic party and liberals is the only thing he knows how to do. This is especially egregious---to take a racist southern cracker's actions and equate them to the actions of democrats in the south during the civil rights struggle is just beyond the pale. As a life-long liberal and a 12 year old I was there for parts of the end of that struggle--and I have spent a life-time fighting for social justice, maintenance of civil rights and the remediation of 300 years of slavery where an entire class of people was denied nutrition, education and person-hood (3/5 not a whole person by constitutional mandate of the founders). This putz would denie the huge split between the liberals and the conservatives in the democratic party in the years 1960-1990. He would forget that while there was a split in the democratic party, there was consensus among conservatives in both parties--continue Jim Crow. He forgets that thousands of liberals gave blood to advance his ability to get an education and succeed in this country. He forgets that millions of his fellow citizens and those who share his skin tone still have virtually no hope of a real education or real opportunity based on their economic position. Mr. Elder---you should be ashamed for daring to defend this kind of subtle, racist action on the part of your conservative friends--you are a very, very bad person.

Sir;... If I may offer an opinion, let me suggest that what makes Mr. Obama effective as a candidate is that he is educated and seems educated; He speaks English well, and has achieved some level of proficiency in our most demanding profession.... Librals believe that is what all blacks could be given the rights support, environment, influence and opportunity... It may be more than a bit chauvinistic to not hold trash talking negros with their hands in their britches, or their britches hanging half way to the gound in the same high regard because they carry the light of humanity on their fast feet; but just so... We know there is nothing wrong with black people, in our hearts and in our heads; but they are awful hard to take in their native state... Thanks... Sweeney
