When she gave up her Governorship of Alaska, I'm sure she signed her death warrant for the Presidency, or better put, she further secured that. If she can resign her Governorship of Alaska, she may do the same for the Presidency too.

I still can't believe however that she is getting so much attention in the media. Is she really worth all the attention?

Their entire political process?

Who says their entire political process is representative of their interests?

A study of American political opinion at the end of Bush II's reign found that over 60% of Americans thought the country was "headed in the wrong direction". Obama hasn't really changed that direction.

Also, as part of the same study, they found that George Bush was polling extremely low. That was the part the media constantly quoted. What they didn't mention was that Congress's support was also at an all-time low. And that was run by the Democrats, as i'm sure you'll know.

I think the current system caters to only an elite few but our systems are democracies, we elect our leaders, if the majority arent being served its time for a revolution, if people cant muster the motivation to do it then they will continue to suffer.

As far as Obama is concerned im less than impressed, hes much better than Bush I think but then thats not saying much.

Unfortunately, you're right. The focussing point is usually the labour movement. Unfortunately, it seems power and privelege have been worryingly successful in destroying it.

That's the only reason people still like him, methinks. He's not Bush.

Oops, missed this.

Are they really? Democracy means that the people have control. The entire concept of leaders is undemocratic.

To what extent do we elect our leaders? Well, let's take a look at that. If we take an American example, you get to choose between Republicans and Democrats. Basically two factions of a single Business Party. Funded by two different areas of concentrated capital and both serving the interests of private tyrannies and the ruling class. Any vote for any other party is considered a "wasted vote".

Best illustrated by the fact that once upon a time they were a single party.

I love that fact. I gawked, the first time you told me. :p

Not that it was overly surprising.

The ironic thing is before the split, the Democratic-Republican Party (the modern DNC) was referred to as the Republican Party. :p

Whatever people think of Bush, hes gone. He done what he could for an unthankful country. Now there is a nitwit in office with uncontrolable spending that people blame Bush for. Not to mention his other intrests. He will be history soon,as well as the democrats. Then there will be Sarah Palin with face prints on the bottom of her shoes of the last muslim lover that tried to run America in the ground.

Sad, but hopefully true. We can only hope.

No, he did what he could for the rich of a country.

For good reason.

Not to mention his other intrests.

Yeah, he supports a different group of rich people than the Republicans.

He will be history soon, as well as the democrats.

Why? And how soon is that?

Then there will be Sarah Palin with face prints on the bottom of her shoes of the last muslim lover that tried to run America in the ground.

I'm not sure, can someone else please give a second opinion? I'm not sure what he means, exactly. Has he just crossed the line into racism or just reached a higher plane of misinformed rhetoric, now entirely removed from reality?

I don't think he did that.:D Bush is gone, and some of us miss him. I think Bush did what he thought was right at the time.

I do hope this last batch of democrats are soon gone. They do things they know is wrong just to say they did something.:confused: Notice when they talk about Bush they never mention the democrats had the House and Senate the last couple of years he was in.

Not sure just what he was thinking about the "muslim" thing. It has been said that some of the more "politically correct" of us make some special concessions for them not made for other religions.

Many of those opinions are not discussed seriously in most media. But people on the street here do talk about such things.

I could be wrong, just my honest opinion.:)

Obama is a christian, and don't bother bringing up that he went to an Islamic school. He went to a Catholic school too, yet he's a Protestant.

Well, you'd expect that. The whole system was polling very low then. They need someone to blame it all on.

I don't care about political correctness. But i care about racism, because it's really not a very endearing feature. I believe in mutual respect.

OK bush suppored the rich in wich he is one. The rich employs people that earn money that the govt takes in taxes. The rich own big business. They spend money, Pay taxes. Support towns and citties. The rich give to charities. etc. your pinhead has taxed the rich so much they can't afford anything, so the country is failing. I suppoes you can't see that from your position. I also see your mind is in a negative position as is so many that think obama is your salvation. Saying he is a muslim supporter doesn't make someone a raciest. I didn't say he was a muslim, although who knows? He has shown support for them, including terriorists. This poor excuse for a president has shown Americans he is not a leader, does not support the Constitution, is not trying to improve unemploymet and has not fullfilled his oath of office. ( has not tried to defend America and its people) So put your head in the sand while Sarah Palin goes about fixing everything this nitwit has broken.

Yes. And this is also inefficient, ineffective, creates wealth inequality and results in a lot of stationary wealth. State capitalism is not the best way to go.

The rich give to charities. etc.

Sometimes they do. After all, they have the money. Andrew Carnegie was known as a big philanthropist. But he had a lot to make up for. He mercilessly overworked the workers, treated them as dirt and locked them out of his steel mill when they organised and tried to do something about it.

your pinhead

Obama? You clearly do not kow me. He neither represents me, nor my views in the slightest.

taxed the rich so much they can't afford anything, so the country is failing.

Firstly, he's giving tons away to private tyrannies and rich people. The bourgeoisie also pay themselves huge bonuses.

Let's have a look at your point as well. When the Government takes money through taxes, the money doesn't just disappear. The Government spends it again, re-injecting it into the economy. Let's take an example:

The Government builds a housing complex, perhaps, for the elderly. The Government uses money it has gotten from tax (some of it from rich people) and pays the concrete manufacturers for the concrete, brick-makers for the bricks, the construction company to put up scaffolding, dig the foundation and build the complex. All these private companies then pay their workers some dismal wage and keep as much profit as possible.

Also, think how much rich people have. Very very few spend a large proportion of it. That means a lot of stationary wealth. Taxing the rich actually stimulates the flow of cash because it's guaranteed to move. Therefore, taxing the rich more would actually be an economic benefit.

That said, i'd really rather nobody paid tax.

I suppoes you can't see that from your position. I also see your mind is in a negative position as is so many that think obama is your salvation.

I have a negative position because i am cynical and pessimistic, not because i worship some politician.

I do not think Obama is my salvation. On the contrary, Obama is my irritation. Please stop misguidedly inferring that i support Obama. I don't.

Saying he is a muslim supporter doesn't make someone a raciest. I didn't say he was a muslim, although who knows? He has shown support for them, including terriorists.

It was just an odd phrase to use.

I'm a secularist, am i a muslim-lover? I have a muslim friend, as well as a Jewish friend and quite a few Christian friends even. I support liberties for them all. Does that make me a Jew-lover or a Christian-lover?

Terrorist is a bit of a trick word, because it's difficult to define. If you take the official definition, for example, it's identical to what's called "low intensity warfare", which is US military policy in Afghanistan. But that's called "counter-terrorism" or "counter-insurgency".

Who were you specifically referring to? Which terrorists has he "shown support" for? Other than the British Army and NATO?

This poor excuse for a president has shown Americans he is not a leader,

On the contrary, he's been shown to be quite an effective leader of people. Look how many on the left follow him like sheep when he has repeatedly betraed their policies. The anti-war lot still follow him, even though he's a hawk. The liberals still follow him, even though he's blindly following the wishes of private capital.

does not support the Constitution,

Agree.

is not trying to improve unemploymet

Improve unemployment? Do you mean relieve it or increase it?

If you expect Obama to relieve unemployment, it's a bit of a fantasy. He doesn't care about poor people. The only people he explicitly tries to keep in employment are the bosses.

and has not fullfilled his oath of office. ( has not tried to defend America and its people)

I can't argue for or against this point without an example. Could you elaborate and give an instance, please?

So put your head in the sand while Sarah Palin goes about fixing everything this nitwit has broken.

Seems unlikely. Her policies sound disastrous. Not to mention, she won't get in until, at the very earliest, the next election. If she really does run, anyway. Also, i expect Obama to get another term. (I may be wrong, of course). It would be a very big swing, otherwise. Also, when the economy gets properly back on track, Obama will take the credit.
