Finally, I wonder how many people were disturbed by Michelle Obama's recent comments? Perhaps it's time to fire her ass?

I read the article and the one attacking his patriotism can be thrown out the window. Mud slinging, and not very good mud slinging. His problem is he already admitted to smoking pot and doing coke on more than one occasion when he was younger, among other things... so no one can really dig up any dirt on him. Smart move. He's a smart guy. Id like to give a smart guy a shot at running this damn country for once, instead of some idiot patriotic cheerleader.

Its funny because on the moral issues Im pretty conservative. I pretty much walk down the "right" line with my views of abortion, gun control, etc... and I do recognize that not all of the economic problems are to be put at the feet of GW. NAFTA and laxed tarrifs on goods from countries with low low labor rates that were imposed under clinton have a lot to do with the direction of this countries economy.

Remember when Wal Mart in the early nineties had a campaign about buying American whenever they could, so you could too? Now it's all about being the cheapest. I don't shop there anymore. I refuse. I obviously don't always buy american, but I do try to support our economy with my money as much as I can. Until something is done about higher tarrifs on imported goods from low labor rate countries, and things done about immigrants taking their earnings and sending them out of the country at an alarming rate, on top of jobs being shipped out of the states to cut labor rates by 80% or more, we're pretty much doomed.

Obama is the only one who I've seen really address the problems. I like him.
