Alright guys. Now this doesn't mean its over. It has just begun. We have to hold Obama accountable for everything he does. It's important he clean up as much of Bush's mess as possible. No FISA, no Patriot Act, no foreign occupations, campaign finance reform, no domestic terrorist watchlist, no "no-fly" lists, no secret prisons, no torture, restore posse cometatus, multi-polar financial order, higher minimum wage, free/affordable healthcare, clean water, renewable energy research geo-thermal)

It's like peace has been declared after some long war.

Surreal.

Obama is such a "socialist" that he wants to tax the wealthy at 39%, 11 percentage points lower than Reagan (at 50%) and 52% lower than Eisenhower (at 91%).

Funny, I don't recall anyone calling those two "socialist."

[kingpatrick1972]

Good. We need some "Socialism" in this selfish country. 10% of the pop. owns 90% of the wealth. Astounds me how poor people find this NOT appaling and blindly vote for Republicans.

One can you name me one person that ever was imprison by fromer Presidnet Bush because they disgree with him, not

including the one capture off the battle field or the Terrorist that was put in prison.

As for 9/11 remember this fromer President Clinton, prevented though his

justis department the CIA, and FBI from chairing information about knowen Terrorist, and even Mr Clark said the only

thing President Bush ever was told was something my happen , but were and when no one knew.

[lifeline52002]

Yes I agree with you that fromer President Bush did say that to the banks

back in 2002. But remember this the

Democratics also said the Banks need

to make more loans to people that could

not afford tham as well. Also fromer

President Clinton did the same thing,

were they used FennieMay and FreedieMac in making unsecure loans and force banks to buy as well.

So I blane both parties for what is happing not just one party, Have a good

day.

In the last 8 years did the Bush Regime imprisoned thousands of people whom just disagreed with him.

It is a shame you still support Bush after what he did to the nation. I admire many republicans, from Lincoln to Reagan (except Hoover, played part in the start of the great depression). Bush used 9/11 as an excuse to get by his illegal actions. We all know Bush could have prevented 9/11 (ignored reports by the CIA, FBI in the summer of 2001). I will pray for you and will hope you realize it.

[vgcq02]

Bush gave a speech in 2002 encouraging banks and investors to give out as many mortages and loans as they could. You can tell me what happened later.

[lifeline52002]

Againe you sound like a Lib, and how much you

hate President Bush, seem like he could never

do any thing right in your eyes. So you start to call him names. Funny how if some one that had a Conv, view , you Libs would either, shut them down during the speach, or would ask the College to not allow them to talk or shut down the event. Well this is what I call Fascist/Socialist, because it seen that only Libs like you think your smart and your above ever one else. Go Fuck yourself.

[lifeline52002]

To vgcaq02, President Elect Obama, study under socialist Professors in college and in his stump speach, he even quote a veiw or at least their why they belive Goverment should work. Not saying that President Elect Obama is a socialist but he does lean that way some. As for President Bush helping the Banks and

Wall Street, even the Democratics Leadership

thaught it was a good idean. It was the Republicans that held out for more oversight

of the money that was to be spent.

[vgcq02]

Obama is not a Socialist. You listened to Palin too much and you watch Fox News too much. Do you know what socialism is? Its uncontrolled government spending, its Nationalization of our Banks. OOOPS ! that was ALL already DONE under this current Republican Administration.

Obama is a self-made succesful man, which is why he defeated McCain by an electoral landslide.

[vgcq02]

Obama's victory by electoral landslide is dedicated to all the good Americans.Also at the same time it is dedicated to the stupid republicans and the fucking racists whom just won't change their ways and will be left behind to die miserably.
