Hackers and Spending Sprees

Nicely said salv. I believe he's gotten a good start, had a CIA briefing this morning and a big meeting with economic advisors, after 2 days and not even sworn in. He means business. Let's give the guy a chance!
God bless your son and husband and God's speed to them both.
PS - some people can't get over race and deep seated hate and anger.

Honestly, I think she's evil incarnate. Its all wrapped in this pretty package that lies, and lies and lies. She'll be serving that kool-aide in 2012.

I am truly sorry too hear that. They always say they give you tools to have a career in the service. Many people can't find decent work these days, so maybe that isn't the real issue.

Yes, I had had the utmost respect for him before the campaign really got into swing. I was so glad to hear him seem to be himself again in his concession speech. I do beleive he has a good heart deep down and is honorable, I wish the far right hadn't screwed up the GOP.

Judgin from your posts I'd have to say you didn't listen very well.

Well said.

Wow Jordanx3, you are possibly the most bitter and angry person on here. Perhaps you should move to another country because we're trying to put things back together here and we don't need any more bitter hate mongers here. The new face of America has spoken and much of it is the NEXT generation, they've made it clear that they have more trust in a well educated man that wants to truly put his country first, not himself and his cronies. God forbid we give him a chance before we condemn him. You're probably a just another angry racist. My upper middle aged white minister sister had people like you paste hateful racist proaganda all over her front door and porch along with her garbage in Missouri because tshe had the gall to support the person she thought the better candidate. Thats what your staright talk hate express did to this country. Why don't you just move on up to Alaska and suceed with them and let us get on with repairing our country?

It is only a true continuation from where we have been the past eight years (and in the decades before) except this time, it will be time to bring the economy of the country down. The people need to get along because it is in our hands to make sure that government does its job for us. If we continue to allow such gross oversight, then yes, you are right that it won't be pretty. The only blame we can take for this is when we look in the mirror if we don't act now.

Of couse the next several years are going to become increasingly worse. The wheels have already come off the wagon, and we are now in the first inning of an economic depression. I can think of 700 bllion reasons why our taxes are going up, regardless of who got elected. But now, we have competence at the top, and thereby have a shot at eventual recovery.

I beg to differ on the education of the people who voted for Obama vs. other candidates. Republicans are no different than Liberal Democrats four years ago. Liberal Democrats have had four years to fester the hate, and use this victory to show more claws. I think this is a very grave mistake. It isn???t education that plays in politics here. This would be a gross stereotype. This is history repeating itself to the tenfold. Nothing has changed. Republicans made a mistake in the 2000 primaries when McCain lost to Bush. Now that election is over this year, McCain has held a lot of sound economic principles that we could have used. I agree the McCain economics did not cater to the rhetoric the liberals have rightfully craved. I understand the support for Obama based on the same reasons that Republicans supported Bush in 2000. And irony is that Bush won that year due to a lot of ???peace??? rhetoric on ending Clinton???s war. Four years later, we are divided again & in a new war. Liberals are mad. The constitution is being infringed upon in the days of fright and terror lurking in every corner. Liberals cried against Bush, moved to Canada (and apparently returned here to vote Obama?), and shouted that Bush would never be their president. I saw exactly why liberals were concerned. And I felt that Bush was doing all he could to keep this country safe but he took 9/11 so personally that his logic and management was over ridden by emotion. I didn???t think it wise to put him in office two terms for this reason primarily. And so the problems escalated. It isn???t over. The Democrats have put Bush in office for a third term in the guise of Obama. There is no difference except for what I can only say is a continued dramatic departure from the constitution of our country. It isn???t education at play here. It is clear as day that it is the same mistake people make --- repeating history over and over. That???s all. I hope Obama is a success. But I don???t see him doing anything but enhancing the Bush policies that liberals cried against. It will be slow, gradual, and then a slap in the face that Republicans have been dealt. Democrats are going to be slapped next. It is to your advantage that you stop shoving the dirt in the Republicans face. Your differences are thin at best.

Yes, why is this:

Take a blank map of the U.S., and a box of crayons. Shade the states with the highest rate of high-school dropouts + lowest rate of college graduates in one color. Then shade the converse states, those with the lowest rate of high-school dropouts + highest rate of college graduates, and another color. Now superimpose that map over a political map. They match up almost perfectly. (Notable exception: North Carolina. The times they are a-changin.)
