Just to let you know your desire to have business owners pay more taxes will cost jobs. I have friends that have business that will be affected by this Obama plan - keep in mind these small businesses include franchise companies that are individual owned and operated like your local sub shops, and fast food joints. By the way these companies provide a lot of jobs that help our young adults earn money while they go to school. Guess what buddy they are going to have to cut jobs because there payroll taxes are going to go through the roof so in order to pay the bills they will need to hire fewer individuals to maintain a profit.

If you want to preach spread the wealth why don't you go on line and review Obama's tax returns that are released for public review. Obama made over 1 million, yes he did have donations with a majority of that going to his church. He wants to talk spread the wealth then donate to charities that do good things in neigborhoods that need help.

You want to talk racism, I have heard more comments from minorities stating that they are voting for Obama because he is black and he would help them and fewer comments in regards to people not voting for him because he is black.

The worst thing about this whole election is the media's complete failure in educating the public. With so many new voters involved with this historic election you would think they would ensure the public was properly educated about all of the issues to make this whole process a good experience for all. Our young adults are the future and they need to go forward with all of the tools necessary to make good educated decisions. They are not puppets and should not be treated as such.

I cannot believe some of the comments I've been reading. I'm 58 years old, white, female and a registered Republican who voted for Obama. Most of you need to get your heads out of the sand and stop being led by fear and lies. He is a Christian man with a muslim name. Standing with terrorists? When? Where? If anyone is comfortable with Palin being literally a heartbeat away from being President, I would have no idea what you could be thinking. She's a clueless, opportunistic fake who jumped at the chance to be in the limelight, knowing she was in way over her head. The debates proved it. On the one hand, the complaint is Biden's been aroung too long, etc., yet on the other hand Obama has no experience. Which is it? McCain picked Palin to get elected, plain and simple. He caved in to the radical right instead of being the maverick he claims to be. I don't want someone like that to be my President. Obama has stated time and time again what he plans to do, if elected, and how he's going to do it. McCain says "stand with me and there will be change". How? What's the plan? I can't imagine having a President and Vice President like McCain/Palin. Hopefully by tomorrow, I won't have to worry about it.

Sorry but time for a change doesn't cut it. Obama is a militant socialist racist who has the sociopathic persuasive abilities of Hitlar and Hitlar brought Germany to it's knees and desecrated over 6 million jews and what I don't understand is that they'll back him and his "realignment of weath" politics. How ignorant can everyone be. The United States of America was made on Capitalism and his politics are more socialistic than capitalistic. Can't everyone see that?

I know economy is a major problem right now but let's not forget the national security issue. Remember 9/11? and I'm very sure that McCain will do better in this matter. We DO NOT need another 9/11. Economy will recover, but friends and family taken away from you won't come back. The rest of the world will less likely to test this country if McCain wins.

Well in the name of civilization...do not judge in races,colors and religions.what's most important World Financial crises...Here we go guys in this aspect I support Obama...

We all need to realize that although the president has a certain amount of power (obviously), he does not have to power to make laws. That is done by the congress. They must pass both the house and the senate befroe they hit the desk of the president then he has the power to veto, but he does not have the power to write the laws. I will admit that some of the problems we are facing as a country are due to Bush but you must realize that most of the problems we face are because of what was passed by congress (who can overturn a presidential veto). With that in mind, ask yourself this question. Who passed the bailout package that so many of us think is outrageous? It was not Bush. It was the democratic led congress. Is that somwthing that you agree with or are proud of? It is the peole who need bailed out. Not the banks who put the peole in the position they are in. Did the banks force the people to take the loans? NO! But in this "me" oriented society we now live in, giving peole the opportunity to borrow beyonh their means was not a smart thing to do. I am more worried about who is going to get into congress than I am about the president. I agree things need to change. Do I think Obama will do it? No I dont. The president alone cannot and will not turn this country around. It is our congress and the people. Be smart. Be realistic. Stop being so greedy and making stupids decisions. As I climb down from my soap box, I will make one last comment. If you really want to make changes. Run for office or vote in somebody who will actually step up to the plate and do something. Too much talk and not enough action!!!

You are disgusting.

I just wonder who OWNS Obama? Somebody with some serious money has paid for his rock star campaign, or several somebodies, and he obviously doesn't want us to know who it is, or else it would have been disclosed. I know, I know, you can go on some websites and see the individual contributors, but there is also about $100 MILLION out there that is still undisclosed. I think it's a little suspicious. Well, I guess we'll find out soon enough if this puppet actually gets elected.

Seriously, obamaustink if you are the type of people supporting McCain, thank God we have an alternative in this country. You are embarassing the McCain supporters -

Obama is just more of the Old Boys Club - Not to mention that he is a racist - militant -socialist that has the sociopathic persuasion abilities of Hitlar. He's NOT smart just using the race card as Dr. MLK did he is nothing but a reble rouser!

I'm glad to see that all of the intellects are out posting their comments. Grow up people, this election is about our survival as a nation.

No matter who people say they are voting for, it all comes down to people not ready for a black president.
