Does he believe in the tooth fairy as well? He wants to lower taxes, hold the line on (not cut) spending, AND better the business climate? How is that last part going to kick in, with fairy dust?

I truly wish that every Republican could experience the joy of living in a state with no taxes. It's called anarchy, and it's not nearly as cool as you think it is.

Obama's idea of going thru the budget line by line is a good start. Force some fiscal responsibility in Washinton. And how bout and end to increasing Congressional pay every other year? Maybe even cut their health care.

yeah, ALL HAIL KING Obama!!!

that was funny,and so true!!

Empty Vessel wardrobe – $250,000

Speeches to nowhere without a teleprompter – ????? (google Obama – asthma – teleprompter – gaffe)

Executive experience that Palin has compared to Obambi's – MUCH more.

Actually standing up to ones party, Palin MANY, Obambi NEVER

Actual accomplishments while in Government – Palin MANY, Obambi NEVER

Accomplishing much without the aid of the media, Palin always, Obambi NEVER, EVER as he is an empty suit.

Oh to be a fly on the wall when the world leaders are trying to get Obama to give uh, uh, uh, uh, well, uh, uh, uh a straight answer, no buddy it is not priceless, but SCARY.

I was thinking the exact same thing!!!! They held these questions for 8 years?

It's punishment time."

What's Obama gonna do? Spank him?
Grow up.

The POTUS has no authority to "punish" anyone for speaking their mind.
There's this piece of paper called the Constitution, try reading it sometime.

Yes, the debt we have already incurred will take decades to pay off and adding to it will take longer still – but consider the alternative: Continuing to flounder around, putting more people out of work which means more people drawing unemployment, more people on Medicaid, more people defaulting on more mortgages, more people declaring bankruptcy, more people eventually onto the welfare rolls.

And guess who pays for all THAT? You, the taxpayer....

Somehow I don't think that is what anyone wants.

To get out of this Republican mess, we need a major spending stimulus. Once the economy is humming again, we'll need to raise taxes on the wealthy to pay down the debt.

After all, history shows that a Democratic tide lifts all boats.

So, it is actually good to hear them out. If you want it done right, do it exactly opposite of what they suggest.

It's punishment time.

We, being 9th in the nation in HIV/AIDS cases, the South Carolina government just cut a program called project F.A.I.T.H which was the only AIDS prevention program that we had in the state, yet we need to get back to our values. Not to mention the homeless rates are soaring through roof, which has gotten worse instead of better since he has been the Governor of our state. Did I fail to mention that his mansion sits in between the Salvation Army shelter and the homeless shelter and the park where the homeless stay through out the day until the shelter opens back up at night. Our education levels speak for itself, we're always rank in the bottom. Depending on the district that you live in here in Richland county where the Governor resides determines the quality of an education a child receives, but he wants to get back to basic conservatism.

Oh, did I forget to mention that African-Americans are the majority and not the minority here in SC, but they still fly the Confederate Flag on the state house grounds.

So, please tell me CNN was it worth the time to get this governor's perspective on President – Elect Obama? Come to the great state of South Carolina and check out for yourself. You might see things in a whole new light.

I just pray that the citizens of this great state will take heed to what Virginia and the North Carolina citizen and turn this red state blue in the next elections, We seriously need a change here in South Carolina.
