    I agree with Eleanor that is what we need. I am a process engineer for the healthcare industry and what you do is set out your goal and then reverse engineer the processes to get to your goal. Then write the policies. Its a bottom up approach. Not the top down policy first approach. The Federal government and all its branches are functional departments, not process departments... This will get rid of billions of dollars in government administrative costs. If you redesign government you reduce your cycle times and get rid of waste plus you have indicators to see how this process is really working...You apply the scientific principle and tweek the system and its processes until it produces the desired results...This is the change that is needed...McCain or Palin would not have a clue what I am talking about as the rest of the readers in this blog...Obama is techno savy by just the way he is running this whole election and I wouldn't be surprised if he carries his grass roots websites into the Whitehouse so that the people of this country would be able to supply ideas and solve problems on major issues...He has a bottom up approach to his candicacy and yes he is a process president and that is exactly what is needed to solve these problems domestically...

    Let's DEBUNK some of the Democrat MYTHS.

    Myth 1) Exxon and other huge companies are getting TAX BREAKS. Would you believe that Exxon in last 3 months paid 9 BILLION 302 MILLION in taxes !

    It sure sounds to me like they are making out like bandits huh? Only paying 9.3 BILLION in taxes! haha Democrats are SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO stupid believing their IDIOT OBAMA that he will tax Exxon more and give out $1,000 checks to people. Exxon and all other companies not only pay their fair share they are paying for all the LOSERS out there, most of the people on these blogs. They are already paying YOUR fair share because you are too dumb or lazy or both to make anything out of your lives.

    Myth 2) Obama will create jobs. He's an idiot who's policies over and over are wrong. Taxing small business owners will cost this country 3 to 5 million MORE jobs. That's why over 80% of economists surveyed say John Mc Cain's plan is vastly superior. You keep taxes low, encourage INVESTMENT which equals JOBS. No brainer, except for this 'cerebral' obama. This has to be the funniest article I've read, Eleanor Clift is a total Idiot. Obama is like the Pied Piper, all his followers are being lead off a giant cliff and I hope its THEIR jobs that are the first to go.

    I could go on and on but Obama is not a flip flopper he holds TWO or more views on all major issues! He's against guns in liberal cities yet praises the Supreme court decision on guns. He's against granting immunity to telecom companies yet he VOTES for the immunity! He is against the surge but he was wrong and it worked and the SURGE was the reason we can soon start bringing back troups. He is totally wrong about taxes.

    How's a lawyer who has never accomplished anything in his life and has never created ONE job going to create millions? haha you Obama fans are total morons.

      "How's a lawyer who has never accomplished anything in his life"
      Actually Obama was a renowned Constitutional law professor for 12 years before he went into politics,
      Personally I think it will be refreshing to have a President who has actually read the Constitution, come to think of it it will be refreshing to have a president who can read.

      You must be one of those making $300,000.00 a year or more and worried you might have to pay tax's

  • Posted By: thehappyamerican @ 08/15/2008 4:13:44 PM

    Obama is a comedian! If it's not creating an Official Seal that looks like the top of a plastic garbage can lid,it's inventive ways to get his face on gas pumps, nascar car (or...did you try boxes of handgun ammo, Obama?).
    He can be cool and cerebral when attacking conservitives at large in the electorate but that all falls apart when ONE BOOK comes out! Now he's The Mighty Eagle Huntum Garbage Fly! Composing a 40 page counter.
    And more books are sure to come out soon!
    If you can't stand a little domestic political critisism among your fellow Americans how can you expect to deal with real international BAD GUYS?

      "Domestic political criticism"?? Please. The book was a complete fabrication, filled with lies, written by one of the world's biggest sleazebags. The international bad guys would be a pleasure compared to this stuff.

    "Beating Hillary is what credentialed him, not his legislative record or his years as a community organizer or even his rhetorical gifts."

    Actually, Obama didn't beat Hillary. The media and boys' club beat Hillary on his behalf and handed him the nomination. And Obama's supporters continue to "beat" Hillary on all the blogs. They are dismissive and intolerant of any view toher than their own. Their nasty, gloating, arrogant remarks are the most divisive, hurtful, partisan, intolerant, bigoted comments I've every read. Rather than symbolizing the unity and hope Obama claims to stand for, his supporters create divisions, build walls and stereotype anyone with a different view, or who supports Hillary, as evil, stupid, senile, racist or old hags. How can Obama stand for unity and hope when his supporters behave as they do?

    • Posted By: Notrepublican @ 08/09/2008 3:58:23 PM

      And your comments aren't bad or negative, and no Mccain supporters have ever put up walls? And all Obama's supporters symbolize Obama while negative, opinionated, and fabricated lies being the underlining idea of Mccain supporters comments don't symbolize Mccain? Where half your opinions and lies you attempt to present as truth are helping? I'm sorry, I just don't understand your reasoning. Wait, what does Mccain stand for, because with all your negative comments and lies, I kind of lost what he stood for. It's change right, no, it can't be change. Because he supports most of Bush's policies, is an old white guy, who runs a negative ad campaign while his supporters try to blame the democrats and opposing voters for everything while trying to insinuate their opinion as fact and their negative comments aren't negative and downplay the other candidates achievements. No, he can't stand for change, because that's exactly what we had over the past 8 years, it must be something else. hmmm

      • Posted By: Carol L. @ 08/09/2008 5:20:44 PM

        I don???t know why are talking about McCain in response to my post. I don't support McCain. And I won't be voting for McCain. McCain has nothing to do with my comments about the behavior of the Obama supporters.

        Are you trying to say that the outrageous behavior of the Obama camp doesn't matter because McCain is worse....so let's overlook what the Obama supporters are saying on behalf of their candidate who's running on a slogan of unity and hope? (This reminds me of the way Bush used to characterize himself as ???a uniter, not a divider" while he was also having grandmothers arrested for the 'crime" of coming to Republican rallies with T shirts in support of Democratic candidates.)

        The Hillary bashing and characterizing people with different viewpoints as evil, stupid, racist, old & hags is certainly not in keeping with a platform of unity and hope.

        See, I believe in judging people not by what they say about who they are and what they stand for, but by what they DO. Obama's camp represent him???and they are doing far more damage to his candidacy than McCain ever will.

        My comments are an accurate account of what I've observed on the blogs over the past month from Obama's camp.

          feminazis, bitter, c*nts, *itches, 'hos...the list goes on. and don't forget the candidate who's "above the fray" haha. and the real idiocy is that they continue to do it when barry needs their votes...whether the bits or barry admit to it. it shows they're not voting FOR barry theyre voting AGAINST Clinton. and have you noticed how little they even know of the process?

HOW CAN YOU SAY OBAMA SUPPORTERS ACT A CERTAIN WAY-HRC HAS ACTED WORSE THAN ANY OF HIS SUPPORTERS-LET ALONE HRC'S SUPPORTERS WHO ARE WILLING TO SET WOMEN RIGHTS BACK 100 YEARS JUST OUT OF SPITE.................LET'S REMEMBER...ASSASSINATION, GOING AFTER PLEDGE DELEGATES, HARD WORKING WHITES, RUNNING WITH THE BITTER COMMENT FOR 3 MONTHS BUT GOT MAD WHEN THE RFK KILLING RAN FOR 2 DAYS, SAYING WRIGHT WOULDN'T BE HER PASTOR BUT HAD WRIGHT IN THE WHITEHOUSE DURING THE LEWINSKY SCANDAL, SUPPORTING MCCAIN OVER OBAMA(THAT'S THE ONE THAT PUT HER OVER THE BRIDGE WITH EVERYONE), GOING AFTER OBAMA ABOUT RESKO ONLY TO HAVE PICTURES WITH HIM, SNIPER FIRE................ETC. C'MON

        SHE LOST FAIR AND SQUARE AND HERE'S HOW. DON'T FORGET-THIS PERSON WAS THE MOST POLARIZING FIGURE IN POLITICAL HISTORY AND 48% OF THE ELECTORATE SAID THEY WOULD NEVER VOTE FOR HER

        1. SHE VOTED FOR THE IRAQ WAR AND IS NOW TRYING TO ACT LIKE BUSH FOOLED HER
        2. YOU WANT TO BLAME MEN-BLAME BILL CLINTON AND MARK PENN. 2 OF THE WORST SUPPORTERS YOU CAN HAVE
        3. SHE CAME IN WITH THE MACHINE, FAME , NOTERIETY , NAME AND GOT BEATEN SO BAD SHE NEEDS 20 MILL TO RETIRE HER DEBT AND SHE WAS MATHMATICALLY ELIMINATED 4 MONTHS BEFORE SHE GAVE IN.
        4. ONLY BY DISTORTED CLINTON MATH DID SHE HAVE A MAJORITY OF THE VOTES OR 18 MILL. WHO WOULD COUNT A RUSSIAN STYLE PRIMARY SUCH AS MICHIGAN AND FLORIDA?
        5. WHEN SHE WAS MATHMATICALLY ELIMANTED OBAMA TOOK OFF HIS ATTACKS COMPLETELY-SHE REEVED HER 'S UP. EVERYONE KNOWS IF OBAMA WOULD'VE LOST 12 STRAIGHT STATES HE WOULD'VE LEFT WITH CLASS LIKE MITT ROMNEY DID

        THESE ARE THE THINGS THE REPUBS WOULD BE SYAING ABOUT HILLARY IF SHE HAD THE NOM.

        1. DO YOU REALLY WANT BILL BACK IN THE WHITE HOUSE
        2. WE WANT THE LIBRARY RECORDS
        3. SHE VOTED FOR THE WAR TOO
        4. LACK OF EXPERIENCE-YES-THEY WOULD BE KILLING HER ON THAT BECAUSE SHE ACTUALLY HAS LESS TIME AS AN ELECTED OFFICIAL THAN OBAMA -SHE'S ALREADY SEEN AS A CARPETBAGGER
        5. LOOK AT THE WAY SHE HANDLED HERSELF IN THE PRIMARY AGAINST HER OWN DEMOCRAT BROTHEREN.
        6. SNIPER FIRE!

        THAT'S NOT EVEN WITH ANYTHING NEW..................AND YOU KNOW WITH THE CLINTON'S THERE WOULD BE NEW THINGS WITHOUT A DOUBT.

    Eleanor, as any fool can plainly see---Ah can plainly see--commenters would rather agrue with each other over just about anything and everything than agree or disagree with your comments and state why.
    But you've been in the opinion business for a long time and know all about this.
    The difference is that you get paid well for your comments.
    Too bad the commenters here don't?

    • Posted By: careerdaytrader @ 08/11/2008 11:58:07 AM

      Democrats LOVE to read something positive about Obama. They will even pay for subscriptions to Newsweek for it. Thus its a business and there is a market for Liberal BS. She's an idiot only slightly less idiotic than the average Obama supporter and thus they think she's genius. LOL I really laugh at you people, so clueless. Obama is going to destroy jobs in this country and not live up to ANY of his promises. Jimmy Carter and Herbert Hoover will be the only 2 presidents look at WORSE than an Obama term. He's a total joke.

      • Posted By: HillBillyBill @ 08/14/2008 12:36:05 PM

        Herbert Hoover had machine guns pointed at veterans that marched to Washington trying to get the bonuses promised after WWI. They never got the bonuses.
        But google Jimmy Carter's speech of July15, 1979 and compare his plan to make us imported oil independent to what's being proposed by all sorts of people--including both candidates--today.
        Brazil adopted the plan and is totally independent of imported oil today driving flex fuel vehicles made in the US!

A Hussein POTUS would be a disaster. The achievers in this country will at some point say....enough is enough...I quit. YOU losers pay the taxes...we are done.

      It seems the parasite population in America has exploded....The Dems plan to play Robin Hood, and reward slothfullness, drug addiction, and lack of ambition has gained an audience...What ya'll gonna do if the rest of us say SCREW YOU...PAY FOR IT YOURSELF???

    Obama is like Sidney Poitier in "To Sir, With Love". His followers are like the rambunctious British school kids who smoke cigarettes, get knocked up and fight in the classrooms. Some of them may eventually realize that "Sir's" message of civility is worth learning. BTW, Eleanor Clift looks like Petulia Clark.

    • Posted By: careerdaytrader @ 08/11/2008 2:57:58 PM

      No, Obama is more like Jim Carrey in Dumb and Dumber! He's slightly less dumb than his partner. Obama is only SLIGHTLY less dumb than the millions of idiots in this country. To vote for Obama you have to totally believe YOU are a worthless and pathetic soul and NEED HIS GOVERNMENT help in order to have that which you yourself FAIR to obtain. I really feel sorry for you pathetic losers!

  • Posted By: badlogic @ 08/11/2008 10:40:55 AM

    mccainsupporter is obviously not thinking and would rather parrot the misinformation pumped out by those who have a vested interest in continuing oil production in the US. The fact is all of the oil in the US only amounts to 2% of the oil we need. Drilling will do nothing but waste money and give us a false sense of security. ...On another subject, until god starts generating electricity I'd rather not involve the big bearded spanker in energy policies!

    • Posted By: careerdaytrader @ 08/11/2008 10:57:38 AM

      Wrong. Firstly nobody KNOWS how much oil is offshore. There is speculation that there's enough for 11 years for ALL of our supply needs.

      Here's the truth. Oil prices are set in the oil futures markets. Nobody knows how much speculation has added to the price of oil but its generally agreed that its $10 to $30+. When President Bush lifted the executive ban on offshore oil it fell from about $150 to now around $120. Huge drop. Having congress lift this ban will have a further effect.

      We need to do something and Mc Cain's plan is ALL of the above. Not wishing and hoping for clean energy sources or handing our tire guages. What a joke of an Energy Policy Obama has.

    Obama and all those who vote for him are CRIMINALS. If you vote for Obama you are ADMITTING that you personally are a total FAILURE and can not achieve the American dream on your own. You either partied too much in high school, college and are too dumb or lazy to work hard for success. You want to be GIVEN free health care because basically you are a loser.

    The truth is the rich pay YOUR share of taxes. You peons pay very little! Top 5% of income earners pay over 50% and top 10% pay roughly 2/3 of all taxes. So don't say you want your money's worth on your taxes because you are NOT paying even HALF OF YOUR SHARE! The rich are carrying you dead weights and we are sick of it, do NOT tax us any more or we will shift our money, businesses overseas and be damn happy to do it. I personally will not support a more socialist country.

    • Posted By: bathinker @ 08/10/2008 12:50:07 PM

      The [real] truth is the government is the biggest welfare program big business has ever seen. The rich & big business pay less than their share of taxes while raking in [govt] subsidies, grants and pork-barrel handouts. How else can you explain the thousands of lobbyists (your investment firms too) in DC sucking-up.

        Hi Idiot,

        Let me TRY to educate you a little bit, just a little. Go to finance DOT yahoo DOT com. Then search for XOM that is Exxon's stock symbol. Then on left of page to to the Income Statement.

        For last quarter March 08 look down to Income Tax Expense. These numbers are in the thousands to add 000 to the end.

        EXXON paid in 3 months 9 BILLION 302 MILLION in taxes !!!

        I have to give YOU credit, of all the idiots and morons on these boards you are the BIGGEST IDIOT of all!
        You know nothing about how the world works, just playing your X Box at night and wondering why your lazy A@# doesn't have health insurance, doesn't make much, and believing all the other idiots on these blogs.

      more importantly TOO muslim! His dad was Muslim, his step dad was Muslim, and he went to a Muslim school for most of his childhood in Indonesia (Muslim country). Lying about it doesn't make it go away. It's why he's willing to meet with the leader of Iran, two Muslims getting together and praying together.

      Forget the part that his tax policies will kill 3 to 5 MILLION US jobs, the fact that he is so weak on National Security will kill us. Remember Clinton had the CHANCE to take out Osama many years before 9/11 happened. Democrats are too weak to be President and too dumb as well. The only people dumber than Obama are those who support him. PT Barnum was right, but back in his time a sucker was born every minute. In today's America where the loser Democrats don't want to work hard and want everything off the backs of the intelligent rich FIFTY suckers are born every minute. Voting Obama is like admitting you are a TOTAL LOSER!

    "COOL AND CEREBRAL" IS JUST SPIN. OBAMA DOESN'T HAVE THE KNOWLEDGE BASE AND EXPERIENCE TO THINK AND SPEAK ON HIS FEET. OBAMA PAUSES WHENEVER SOMEONE ASKS HIM A QUESTION BECAUSE HE NEEDS AN EXTRA FEW SECONDS TO THINK UP A BIG BATCH OF STEAMING B.S. HOW ELSE CAN 'BOTH WAYS BARACK' EXPRESS HIS SUPPORT AND DISAPPROVAL FOR EACH AND EVERY ISSUE AT THE SAME TIME?

  • Posted By: simonanunhappydem @ 08/11/2008 1:30:19 AM

    Obama is as much of a process guy as Bush was a business guy. Both are just typical politicians, who would say and do anything to get elected. If you doubt that this is true regarding Obama then read Rev. Wright???s comments about this. He knows Obama for 20+ years, he is like his uncle, he should know. As far as the debates: yes Obama is better looking and taller, which for some odd reason seems to be important for the average American. However, every time I heard Obama speaking unscripted without a teleprompter he did not sound convincing. I watched all the democratic debates, and aside of a couple of obviously pre-practiced zingers Obama was clearly not up to Clinton or Edwards, or most of the other democratic candidates. McCain on the other hand is very much at ease talking freely without a script. I am pretty sure that if these debates were radio debates instead of TV debates McCain could easily beat Obama. With the visual advantage of a younger taller guy he may be able to win, but I would not take it as granted, as Ms. Cilft seems to do.

    My fellowbloggers....Are ya'll following the HOTTEST HUSSEIN QUESTION?????????

    The question of Hussein's Certificate Of Live Birth (COLB)........if not you are behind on your Fact Checking. Seems quite a few people have opinions. Look at the results of a Google..................

    ................Results 1 - 10 of about 482,000 for obama birth certificate........................482,000.........that is a BUNCH of opinions. I know most of ya'll are.....TOO LAZY or TOO SCARED....to look yourself.....so HolyRoller will give a helping hand. Here is a very recent "Israeli Insider" report.....................

    Claim: Obama's "birth certificate" forged with sister Maya's original
    By Israel Insider staff August 5, 2008

    Independent analysts, working separately, claim to have discovered that the original Hawaiian Certificate of Live Birth used in the fabrication of the Barack Obama "birth certificate" belongs to the Presidential candidate's younger half-sister, Maya.

    Examining the high resolution image originally posted by the "Daily Kos" left-wing blog and subsequently claimed as authentic by the campaign, and posted in lower resolution on the campaign official "Fight the Smears" website, at least two analysts have been able to independently discern the name "Maya Kassandra Soetoro" from artifacts left behind in the process of forging a new fake document for Barack from an image of Maya's original document. Additional confirmatory information, such as her birthday and the nationality of her father have also been resurrected. A full report documenting all details is to be published in the coming days. Israel Insider has not yet seen proof that would validate the claim.

    The dramatic claim comes just a day after a forensic specialist, posting on the Texas Darlin blog under the name Techdude (his real name is known to Israel Insider), announced the discovery of the identity of the original owner of the COLB document used in the forgery but would initially only indicate that it was a woman born in the 1970's. However, he provided enough clues to enable another graphic specialist (screen name KG) to independently reproduce the incriminating evidence. (Techdude had said that he wanted to give the guilty parties time to confess to the forgery, but also to allow independent confirmation of his discovery. He even offered to pay for a trip to Vegas to the first person to discover the name and detail the method by which it was discovered.

    Ya'll need to keep your eyes open. Is this why Barry is in Hawaii??? Wonder when the Nation Enquirer is gonna break this???

    NOBAMA!!!

    If you think about it John McCain plan for forty-five new nuclear power plants is reasonable, needed and attainable. Our current 108 nuclear power plants supply twenty (20) percent of our electricity requirements. This is amazing considering that it has been thirty years since there has been new construction on new nuclear power plants anywhere in the United States. Construction on new nuclear power plants has occurred throughout the world but not in the United States thanks to Democratic leadership. In France, nuclear power supplies 80 percent of their electricity needs. Because 108 nuclear power plants are generating twenty percent of our needs, an additional 45 nuclear power plants will only increase the percentage of nuclear power to roughly 28 percent of our needs well short of French eighty percent nuclear power generation of electricity. John McCain proposals are reasonable and will help lead us to energy independence. Democrats under the leadership of Barack Obama want to study the issue for another 30 years. By that time the only remaining United States builder of nuclear power plants General Electric will have gone the way of Westinghouse and sold its nuclear construction division to a foreign owned company Toshiba Corporation of Japan. Given the Democratic led hostile business environment for nuclear power in the United States, we will have no United States owned companies capable of building nuclear power plants.

    The reality is that one nuclear power plant will have a greater contribution to our energy independence than all the contributions of solar, wind, and thermal energy. Only the proposals of John McCain on nuclear power, offshore drilling, wind, and solar energy will make the idea of United States energy independence a reality.

    While camping and attending a bluegrass music festival, I took a tour of Comanche Peak Power Plant,the last nuclear power plant built in the United States. The plant is unobtrusive and is at perfect harmony with its environment. It is located near Glen Rose Texas a beautiful area that has bluegrass band festivals in the summer. It is a wonderful scenic country area and home to Dinosaur World and a state park. There are dinosaur tracks from 100 million years ago that some say are heading in the direction of New York City. The Brazos river flows through and the place is an environmental heaven. There is old green Sinclair Oil Company dinasour statue that stands at the park. Ironically most of the stations and assets of Sinclair Oil Company was bought by Arco Oil Company and Arco was bought out later by foreign owned British Petroleum during the second administration of Bill Clinton. The point of this comment is that nuclear power plants can even be located next to wonderful wildlife and park areas and make good unobtrusive neighbors. Nuclear power is a friend of the environment and does not emit green house gases.

    This article is so off base. The left loonies want to present Hussein as some great intellectual. He is no such thing.

    Hussein is a "LEARNER" not a "THINKER". Very good memorization skills. That is why his prepared speeches are so effective. He is not a person who has new ideas. He is basically a parrot.
