Journal #5604

You seem to be quite the Obama fan. Just an observation.

If donating $500 toward his campaign qualifies me as a fan, I guess I am it.

could you donate $500 to me if i tell you what you want to hear?

If you are the front-runner for the Presidency, I would.

so if i was in second place, i wouldn't get a dime?

Oh but Rimrook, you only get in second place when you tell people what they need to hear.

As long as you tell them what they want to hear, you should be fine, so don't worry.

... ok

Wait, Obama will be doing weekly addresses?

Seems like $500 could have gone to a better cause than funding this guy's campaign ads/dinner parties/limo rides/YouTube account management... but hey, it's a free country, and it sure as hell isn't my money.

business plan:

1. become a US citizen
2. run for president
3. ????
4. Profit!!

Sorry if I'm getting this wrong or are most of the American people posting bagging Obama? I would have thought that after what you had for 8 years, Obama is the first good thing America's had for a long time. He's so obviously the best man for the job, it just ain't funny.

Due to past mistakes in the government, they lost all of their credibility. Even if a new guy steps in, people are still going to be sore against the system as a whole.

Yes, the entire government has lost its credibility. The whole thing. Every part of it can no longer be trusted with anything.

We should throw out the government and become an anarchist nation.

Really, though, most of the screwing happened during Bush's second term.
I don't think many people could have seen the economic crisis coming when Kerry was turned down 5 years ago. The gas prices were the only thing people were worrying about. And if something wasn't done about the fall of Bank of America and Wachovia, we would currently be in the new great depression.
Look at it like this: we've at least been able to hold onto stability by a strand just long enough to reach the helping hand that might pull us out of the hole. Emphasis on "might".

I'm sure Obama has gotten that same speech, WC.

Anarchy is bad.

And pepper, you need to be born in the us to be qualified as president.
Which is why Governator hasn't ran yet.

Well, there goes MY plan to give the presidential vehicles hydrogen fuel cells..
