The World Hopes for Its First President

American Gandhi, Barack is not. But it is true, people are voting based on what they hope Barack is. I just pray that many will wake up and realize that hope is not something you vote for.

This moronic scumbag Samuel J. Wurzelbacher "Joe the Plumber" had his AZ driver license suspended

http://www.eastvalleytribune.com/story/128323

Wurzelbacher, who lived in Mesa in 2000 and had an Arizona driver's license, had his driver's license suspended by the Arizona Department of Transportation Motor Vehicle Division on May 4, 2000, following a nonpayment of a court-imposed fine for civil traffic violations, according to court records.

...owes nearly $1,200 in back taxes, according to public records, still owes more than $700 to the Mesa court system.

Records show he was cited for failure to stop at a red light and for failure to provide proof of insurance on Feb. 9, 2000, in a black Dodge truck at the intersection of Dobson and Baseline roads in Mesa.

After failing to pay his original fine of $627.50 issued in March 2000, his license was suspended and the fine was handed over to a collection agency along with a 16 percent surcharge. The now-resident of Holland, Ohio, still owes $727.90 to the Mesa Municipal Court, according to court records.

Hopefully the collection agency will break both of his legs so he'll never be able to walk nor work ever again. This typical Republican scumbag deserves it.

World's public enemy #1 & 2 = W. and Dicky.

World's most irresponsible people = people who voted W. and Dicky into Whitehouse.

World's most ashamed people = people who voted W. and Dick into Whitehouse TWICE.

Paulson should fire all Bank CEOs.

World's most hated job = Bank executives and high-ranking Bank jobs. They all should be put in jail.

It is absolutely beyond my understanding how a person can live in these United States, a melting pot of ethnicity, and still be a racist pig. I don't think it would matter how well qualified Senator Obama is to those who dislike him just because he's black. Far be it for this racist society to be led by the very race that has experienced the most oppression. The world outside of the United States is very different . The rest of the world is ethnically diverse and relatively free from the type of supremist racism that exists in the US. So I think the best thing people can do it to get over themselves about Obama being black because he WILL be the next PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES!!!!!!!

It's just a really good thing that other country's can not vote in the United States Election!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Vote McCain/Palin 2008

LAST THING I WANT is ANOTHER PRESIDENT THAT WILL DO NOTHING. He talks good, the world seems to like him...but he feels like another Clinton to me. Say the things that are going to make people FEEL better, not do anything that will upset the other countries...a people pleaser. Especially as President I believe you have to be willing to make the hard (and unpopular decisions), I don't think Obama is up for it. You can't live life walking that PC
It took the terrorists over 3 years (from everything I have read) to PLAN THE ATTACK???all right under Clintons Administration. I will agree that we didn???t finish the first job before going into Iraq???I never said I agreed with everything (when or how) that Bush has done. There have been mistakes made.
1993
Feb. 26, New York City: bomb exploded in basement garage of World Trade Center, killing 6 and injuring at least 1,040 others. In 1995, militant Islamist Sheik Omar Abdel Rahman and 9 others were convicted of conspiracy charges, and in 1998, Ramzi Yousef, believed to have been the mastermind, was convicted of the bombing. Al-Qaeda involvement is suspected.
1995
Nov. 13, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia: car bomb exploded at U.S. military headquarters, killing 5 U.S. military servicemen.
1996
June 25, Dhahran, Saudi Arabia: truck bomb exploded outside Khobar Towers military complex, killing 19 American servicemen and injuring hundreds of others. 13 Saudis and a Lebanese, all alleged members of Islamic militant group Hezbollah, were indicted on charges relating to the attack in June 2001.
1998
Aug. 7, Nairobi, Kenya, and Dar es Salaam, Tanzania: truck bombs exploded almost simultaneously near 2 U.S. embassies, killing 224 (213 in Kenya and 11 in Tanzania) and injuring about 4,500. 4 men connected with al-Qaeda 2 of whom had received training at al-Qaeda camps inside Afghanistan, were convicted of the killings in May 2001 and later sentenced to life in prison. A federal grand jury had indicted 22 men in connection with the attacks, including Saudi dissident Osama bin Laden, who remained at large.
2000
Oct. 12, Aden, Yemen: U.S. Navy destroyer USS Cole heavily damaged when a small boat loaded with explosives blew up alongside it. 17 sailors killed. Linked to Osama bin Laden, or members of al-Qaeda terrorist network.
2001
Sept. 11, New York City, Arlington, Va., and Shanksville, Pa.: hijackers crashed 2 commercial jets into twin towers of World Trade Center; 2 more hijacked jets were crashed into the Pentagon and a field in rural Pa. Total dead and missing numbered 2,9921: 2,749 in New York City, 184 at the Pentagon, 40 in Pa., and 19 hijackers. Islamic al-Qaeda terrorist group blamed. (See September 11, 2001: Timeline of Terrorism.)
And if you look close you will see a reoccurring pattern of WHO..carried out these attacks and CLINTONS ADMINISTRATION DID NOTHING. If he had done something in his 8 years, we shouldn???t be here today.

I get tired as an American being told somehow that it is a bad thing. Why is it that we ourselves and the rest of the world seem to judge us as ONE. Yes, we are one country, but we are also individuals, with our own thoughts and beliefs and being able to disagree is one of the best things we have. We are allowed to disagree with each other and even the President...and yet we put weight into other countries opinions of us. Countries that if you disagreed with the President you could end up in jail or worse, that as a female you have no rights. Isn't it a sort of GLOBAL PROFILING. After 9-11 we (Americans) got hammered for automatically being suspicious of anyone of middle eastern decent, or if someone said that they were a Muslim. We were told that we shouldn't group and automatically assume anything of any one individual, because of course not ALL MUSLIMS ARE EXTREMIST OR TERRORIST. Not all Germans are Nazis. And yet, they (heck the world) judges us as one huge group and most of it is negative...we are called warmongers (for protecting ourselve) and the list goes one. And for whatever crazy reason we have allowed this to continue. What were we suppose to do after 9-11? We had already had the barracks bombing, the embassies, the first WTC and the USS Cole and our government barely batted an eye? . Maybe it is time to pull back, all the way back, leave the rest of the world alone and see how they like it without our money (can't happen realistically, but it might be nice). See that part of the US they don't mind. You can't invite or want someone to help you and then turn it around on them and tell them to mind their own business. You can't have it both ways, and so yes, sometimes you have to take the bad with the good. Humans aren???t perfect...mistakes get made.

Democracy is too important to be left to those who refuse to research the facts and take their responsibilities to vote on the issues that matter most to them. Your mother was/is still right: DO YOUR HOMEWORK...THEN VOTE!!! My choice was clear, as is my conscience. I have never felt better about a vote in my life!

Americans are so easiely manipulated. Acorn is the biggest threat to America?

America has invaded two countries, threatening Iran with nuclear strike, bombing Pakistan and Syria, America funded the Georgians genocide against South Ossietia, America is number 53 in the world in free press, a corrupt empire with 13 trillion in debt, a dollar in collapse, building missile shield in Europe, organised coups in Ukraine and Georgia.

But no no, Acorn; a voter orgainisation is your biggest threat to democracy!!!

The only way we can judge the two candidates is to look back the their campaign in the last two years.

1) Who runned the most disiplined and well orgnized campaign?

2) Who handled the economic crisies whith steady and careful approach?

3) Last but not least, look into how they picked their VP.

Irrespective of your party, you should look beyond race or age and pick a candidate based on they intelligence and judgement.

Thank you for bringing truth! I hope all of us will seek the truth on the candidates, issues, and how a society and world can function the best possible way with the best leadership in office- one's who are truthful, honest, have integrity, selflessness, and care about people, this country and this world.

The world looks at the American election, because American aggression affects the rest of the world.

Now that BBC and other European media are broadcasting the evidence from the Georgia conflict, they change their position and state the fact that it was Georgia that commited war crimes. When can we expect the same from american "free press"?

I dont think we will see much of a difference; republican, democrats... all fascists. The world must start to reject the american empire.

The world will be alot less excited when the media comes down to earth and starts reporting the truth. Obama, along with his democratic buddies in Congress, personally and professionally advocated for a residential housing policy favoring forced sub-prime lending, which subsequently resulted in massive defaults and foreclosures, leading to your loss of significant equity value in your home, to the point that it destabilized your banks, which panicked the stock market, which wiped out your savings.

Look and listen to Obama for yourself. Obama in this video, addressing his community activist work and his work representing ACORN in litigation against the banks and relating to the Community Reinvestment Act, and addressing the failure of Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae as those actions relate to the destruction of our economy by causing the current real estate and subsequent financial crisis, states that, and I quote:

"Subprime lending started out as a good idea, helping Americans buy homes who previously could not afford to. Financial institutions created new financial instruments that could securitize these loans, slice them into finer and finer risk categories, and spread them out among investors and around the country, as well as around the world. In theory, this should have allowed mortgage lending to be less risky, and more diversified."

Acknowledging the catastrophe, but as apologist for the Democrats, Obama then offers this justification.

"The original idea was a good one, which was, lets see if we can distribute risk more broadly, and make it easier to provide loans to people who otherwise might not be able to get one."

Yah, great idea. Economically unsound, but embraced by Obama. Listen for yourself. You cannot dispute the mans on words recorded live:

Below is a link to C-SPAN video clips of the Congressional hearings at roughly the time McCains attempt at S.190. to fix Fannie and Freddie. See for yourself who said what.

In the exchange with "Joe the plumber" Obama unintentionally revealed that he really is as radical as his early political mentors and acquaintances, Davis, Ayers, Wright, Khalidi etc., (gee, there sure seem to be a lot of them) and that he is into the failed economic policy of wealth redistribution. Now there is absolute proof. In 2001, Obama, the "community organizer" turned legislator, said in an interview:

"And I think one of the tragedies of the civil rights movement was that the civil rights movement became so court-focused, I think there was a tendency to lose track of the political and organizing activities on the ground that are able to bring about the coalitions of power through which you bring about redistributive change, and in some ways we still suffer from that,"

2001 Chicago Public Radio Interview.

Obama's tax and spending plans alone would be bad enough, but add Reid and Pelosi to the mix, with the three of them controlling both houses of Congress and the executive branch without any effective restraint, and you have something that should causes concern even among moderate Democrats.
See Wall Street Journal: A Liberal Supermajority:

http://online.wsj.com/article/SB122420205889842989.html

Indeed, some democrats are publically saying as much. See Barney Franks comments on the news, including face the nation last week, stating essentially that Democrats in Congress intend to greatly raise taxes and go on a spending spree.

See http://www.taxfoundation.org/blog/show/23617.html

Obama's ill-conceived programs will require him to tax, and his health care plan alone is a substantial hidden tax on all business, large an small. In reality, it does not really matter who he taxes, those taxes are going to be passed through the economy. He has to tax, because it is they only way he can pay for his massive social engineering experiments. Any first year economics student knows that taxation is a tool used to contract an economy experiencing inflation, because it reduces demand by reducing the amount of money individuals and businesses have to spend. It is contractionary, which is exactly what you do not want to do when the problem is that the economy is contracting already into recession. Like Hoover and FDR, Obama's plans will only make it worse for longer.

The democrats failed social engineering policies in the housing market are what brought us to ruin. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lr1M1T2Y314&feature=related
Even Bill Clinton says so. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XsynspIqAoE
Obama and a supermajority of Democrats simply is not the change we need, nor is it change we can afford.

Meanwhile, in the real world, there is the Court, and Kelo v. City of New London, 545 U.S. 469 (2005),

What does redistributive mean. Well, remember that it was the liberal Left-Wing Justices of the U.S. Supreme Court that brought us this little jewel, holding that the government could take your real property, like your home, not for public use like a road or school, but to give to another private individual, such as a political contributor or other party hack or interest group.

Kelo v. City of New London, 545 U.S. 469 (2005), was a case decided by the Supreme Court of the United States involving the use of eminent domain to transfer land from one private owner to another to further economic development. The case arose from the condemnation by New London, Connecticut, of privately owned real property so that it could be used as part of a comprehensive redevelopment plan. The Court held in a 5-4 decision that the general benefits a community enjoyed from economic growth qualified such redevelopment plans as a permissible "public use" under the Takings Clause of the Fifth Amendment. Justice John Paul Stevens wrote the majority opinion; he was joined by Justices Anthony Kennedy, David Souter, Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Stephen Breyer

The decision was widely criticized by American politicians and the general public. Many members of the general public viewed the outcome as a gross violation of property rights and as a misinterpretation of the Fifth Amendment, the consequence of which would be to benefit large corporations at the expense of individual homeowners and local communities. Some in the legal profession construe the public's outrage as being directed not at the interpretation of legal principles involved in the case, but at the broad moral principles of the general outcome.

I really struggle w/ where anyone can still not see what has become of our nation from an opinionated global perspective. I hope this article helps connect the reason why we need to vote for someone who is progressive, optimistic, and emphatic in a way that includes all (as well as those beyond our borders). It's a global economy no matter how you spin the facts we are tied together. World opinion matters, largess of vision matters. After 7 years of America voting off of fear and divisiveness, it's not a negative outcome to vote for Hope, collaboration, and unity; not just within America, but around the world.
