sad for you on this one. Obama plans to cut our defense by 80 billion, with shutting down nuclear warheads and no further research and no satillite defense. So, we're sitting ducks? He also introduced the 'Global Poverty Act' (S.2433), to 'spread the wealth around' to other countries for shelter, health care and living money for 'atleast 50% of those making less than 1 $ a day. So, running an economy and no defense? Also please note the Clinton by mandating banks give loans to the unqualified.

Even though I'm independent , I'm still going Democrat on this one. The Democrats know how to run a economy and they're less likely to be war mongers .
