  The second thing I would do is to give a tax credit for health care ( in addition to the mortgage interest deduction) to anyone paying a mortgage, for so long as they continue to pay the mortgage, again, another step toward universal health care for another segment, plus gives huge incentive to NOT file bankruptcy..
  
  I would also defer or eliminate taxes on the interest banks earn on mortgages, so long as the interest rate was under 6%; this would encourage those predatory lenders to wise up and perhaps encourage investors to buy those mortgages at new rates

  What I would do: Bail out GM; HOW? implement John Mc Cain's idea; take over the GM health care costs by giving all auto workers a $10,000 health care credit and abrogating the auto co's contracts to provide such care; instant cash bail out plus a start on universal health care. something we want to do anyway.

  The problem with Obama is a simple one. One association does not a radical make. But in Obama's case, the list of left-wing radical mentors and associates is seemingly endless, (Davis, Ayers, Wright, Khalidi , etc., etc.) with a new revelation practically every day. With that, a picture begins to emerge, and that picture is that Obama is as steeped, not in just left-wing political thought, but in radical left-wing and race ideology, to the same extent that Pat Robertson was steeped in the ideology of the radical Religious Right. I would not have voted for Pat Robertson for dog catcher, and for similar reasons, I will not vote for Obama.
