Comments on: Obama On His "Sense Of Obligation"

CBS Evening News: Democratic Candidate Opens Up On Election Anxiety, Campaign Insults

I predict a frankly remarkable change in the trajectory of this society in 2009 and thereafter. Posted by kgainer at 08:01 PM : Nov 03, 2008

Ya that trajectory will be the one blazed by all the companies (and our jobs) heading overseas when the Dems start to tax the cr ap out of them (you just know they won''t be able to resist spreading the wealth around once they get started). The naivete of socialists has always amazed me. Businesses always look for better deals elsewhere (like tax breaks and subsidies) and there''s an accountant in every company who knows exactly when it''s more profitable to move than stay. So let''s make them pay their ''fair share'' and see what happens. The Chinese and Taiwanese are just licking their lips in anticipation.

America is fed up with all the scandals from Republican crooks, liars, perverts, lawbreakers, and used-car salesmen hucksters that have trashed this country over the last eight years:

Bill Frist
Randy "Duke" Cunningham
Jack Abramoff
Tom DeLay
Mark Foley
Larry Craig
Ted Haggard
Bob Ney
Trent Lott
Alberto Gonzales
Donald Runsfled
Scooter Libby
*** Cheney
George Bush

Lying about reasons for going to war with Iraq (Uranium, false claims about Iraq''s supposed weapons of mass destruction.)
Torture in Abu Ghraib.
The treasonous exposure of a CIA agent by White House officials. (Plamegate)
Halliburton%u2019s overcharging and outright fraud for services in Iraq
Enron
Katrina
Illegal wiretapping
Political influence peddling
*** scandals
Election tampering
Ballooning federal debt
Economy in a tailspin

And these are just for starters%u2026

Enough is enough, America is ready for change!

Since Obama says we are a nation of laws that have to be followed, why don''t you ask him why he waited until he ran for president to pay the 17 parking tickets he acquired while at Harvard in the 80''s.I do recall a quote of a Martin Luther King who said not to judge a man by the color of his skin but the content of his character. So why was his entire political career supported by a convicted felon and why did he take money from him to pay for his house and why does he feel that a woman''s right supercedes the life of a child. Animals have more rights and are treated better than children who are aborted.

Consequences
In every generation, every decade, recent history is replete with the consequences of politicians and other authority figures who prey on suffering, selling hope to those who would listen while peddling influence to those who would pay, advocating accountability but abdicating responsibility while casting blame, and promising unity but creating division, employing violence - be it verbal, emotional, psychological or physical - to set one party against another to further a cause. The result is always the same, however well-intended the cause. People are divided. Humanity suffers.

pgh_sammy: It is sad that Katie Couric was all smiles and batting eye lashes and could not ask any tough questions to Barack Obama as she did on Sarah Palin.

You mean, something really tough like, "What magazines and newspapers do you read every day?"

Katie Couric is an exemplary newscaster who has dealt with personal and professional tragedy and success with courage, grace, and professionalism.

And wait a moment, I thought Tuesday was the day for Democrat voting, and Wednesday/Thursday were both set aside for Republicans?

Obama is a man of unusual and exceptional character. Tell you the truth, and this is ironic in the context of the incessant whining of the McCain camp, America does not deserve a leader who evidences such superlative character and such superlative moral reasoning. I predict a frankly remarkable change in the trajectory of this society in 2009 and thereafter. The Republicans are finished: victims of their own arrogance and presumptuousness and especially victims of their unrelenting economic WAR against the majority of American families.

I thank God for Obama''s sense of obligation. We need a president who will really care about the Middle Class. Millions are without jobs and others are about to lose their jobs. Retirees have lost Trillions in value in retirement funds. People have lost homes, pensions, health care, the ability to afford to send children to college/vocational school. Meanwhile CEOs have gotten rich. McCain''s adviser Firoina got a 40 million dollar golden parachute for laying thousands of people off. Even now, corporation executives are scheduled for 70 Billion Dollars in bonuses THIS YEAR AFTER THE BAIL OUT. In other words, the Bush-Cheney, McCain-Gramm philosophy of make the rich super rich and the Middle Class jobless has worked. Many are jobless and struggling. We need someone who cares for the Middle Class and will actually work to put the Middle Class back to work, and that someone is Barack Obama.
