The positive part of the Bill Clinton legacy was that when he left office, the U.S. federal government has a surplus. Obama can get some of his initiative thru but he should do it within spending limits. McCain's original proposal to balance the budget within 4 years was not doable. The spending cuts would have to be severe to balance the budget in 4 years. I am a Obama supporter. He could see the deal if he had a plan to balance the budget. Balancing the budget makes the U.S. dollar strong. It imporves the social security problem and other fiscal problems. My message to McCain and Obama push hard plans to balance the budget.

Who wants an extension of the tax breaks that Bush and his cronies endorsed? Maybe the 5% of the richest Americans who continue to get richer by climbing on the backs of their fellow Americans. My family approaches the threshhold at which we may be forced to pay additional taxes under Obama's plan. It will not stop me for voting for him. Yes, we work hard, we've made good decisions, and we don't really want to pay more in taxes, but that's life. As I like to say "there but for the grace of God, go I". We could just as easily, despite our best efforts, be on the losing side in this economy. I'm just thankful that I'm in a position to be worrying about how much more I might have to pay in taxes, rather than having to worry about how I'm going to be able to put food on the table. Who in their right mind could vote for 4 more years of failed Bush policies? Who wants an extension of the tax breaks that Bush and his cronies endorsed? Maybe the 5% of the richest Americans who continue to get richer by climbing on the backs of their fellow Americans.

My family approaches the threshhold at which we may be forced to pay additional taxes under Obama's plan. It will not stop me for voting for him.

I have always found it amusing that the Republicans criticize the Democrats for their "tax and spend" ways but yet they always leave the country in more debt then they find it. At least the Democrats understand that if you need a service, you have to pay for it. The Republicans version is if you need a service, you borrow money to do it and it doesn't matter where the money comes from (ie foreign interests) It's very simple – you don't spend what you don't have.

He is obsessed with war and being a victor. Especially since a victory was not declared in vietman. Or perhaps he has captial interest in Dick Cheney's Halliburton businesses in Iraq . That would be a reason for John McCain wants us there. Senator McCain said we would be in Iraq for 100-years or more.... He is obsessed with war and being a victor.

Raising taxes for the American worker will not get us out of our economic troubles or restore the economy. It is a shame that John does not realize that under his own plan the people paying the most in takes are the American workers. I am glad that McCain and Obama may agree on this one point. That the American worker needs a tax break. To bad for McCain that only Obama's plan will give them one. Honestly if I did not know better I would say Johnny is trying to lose. So many gaffes so little time. And know some words from Mark Twain: "Get your facts first, then you can distort them as you please.” "Patriot: the person who can holler the loudest without knowing what he is hollering about.” "The difference between the right word and the almost right word is the difference between lightning and a lightning bug.” "It is better to keep your mouth shut and appear stupid than to open it and remove all doubt.” John McCain is right.
