Let me guess. You were fine with Daddy Bush's televised speech telling kids to do well in school, study hard, and make something of themselves. Even though numbers were low, and in cases of math and science lower than scores are now... But now that a Democrat is doing the SAME speech. It's a bad thing. C'mon.

You wouldn't be laughing if you had kids and they had to share a text book with 6 other kids, because schools didn't get the funding they needed this year.

People are afraid of change. The US was comfortable suffering with Bush. Obama is giving us the option to try to change. FEAR. It also doesnt help when there are so many racists in this country. When will people realize that color means nothing anymore..and for that matter ..should have never mattered? Damn. If he can improve the country and is willing to sit in the hot seat and try...Amen.

Its all about the dollar, not because other want to kill us....

Iraq war was about killing those that stop doing our dirty work to Iran! Its not the American people, but this Government doing these things.. Just why do you think we are in Afghanistan

You're a total idiot! Dem& Rep, are the same old clowns running this country.

When do people start thinking for them selfs?

You're all bling, the seeing eye dog are now the Democrats......

We fight wars not to protect this country, but to control others.

We are now at war to help the drug to flow again, just why do you think we are in

Afghanistan?

You are insane--come out from behind the sheet. Better yet, put it back on--you're ugly. This country has gone mad. Fodder for the bitches overseas that want us wiped from the face of the earth. They don't have to pull the trigger we seem happy enough to bury each other.

Unlike your self, I don't vote for any Government idiot. When will you start doing things for your selfs? Everyone that thinks their canidate will do what they said, are just as stupid! Name one thing that this Government does well? Obama&Bush, are just the waste of votes...

The only one I voted for is me, I can do anything and don't need any one in Government.

Government are to fight wars, not to take care of people that sit on there a--...
