$150,000 for 2 months worth of clothes.
I could have paid off my entire home mortgage and owned a home for the rest of my life.

Obama is also going to create jobs. At the welfare line.When he starts taxing business and the working person making more than 250k more jobs will be lost thanks to Clinton and NAFTA.I always thought that was the dream,to get ahead.Not much incentive for that anymore is it. I am not rich by the way but i work to be wealthy one day.Obama is the modern day Peter Pan,rob from the rich and give to the lazy s.o.b laying on the couch. That was a fairy tale wasn''t it?

McSubprime


McCain chose Phil Gramm as the Vice Chairman of his campaign.

Phil Gramm caused the Subprime crisis, which in turn has caused the global economic meltdown. This occured when he slipped into an omnibus spending bill a provision called the Commodity Futures Modernization Act (CFMA), which prohibited any governmental regulation of credit default swaps, those insurance policies covering losses on securities in the event they went belly up. As the housing bubble ballooned, the face value of those swaps rose to a tidy $62 trillion. And as the housing bubble burst, those swaps became a massive pile of worthless paper, because no government agency had required the banks to set aside money to back them up. The CFMA also prohibited government regulation of the energy-trading market, which enabled Enron to nearly bankrupt the state of California before bankrupting itself.

McCain supporter ask yourselves, why would they spend so much money to dress up the Palin? Why? Why didn''t she say NO, the American people are struggling to survive, I can''t spend 150Gs to dress up my family, But she didn''t say anything. She just took the money and ran. Now who is lacking in judgement? The money came from the donations to the campaign to get the message out, NOT TO DRESS THE PALINS. Now I ask you is this Country First or Palins First. Come on republicans ask for a refund of your donations...Is this what we are to expect of Mavericks??? OMG 150Gs to dress the Palins. OMG

Michelle Obama is a beautiful woman. We don''t need a first lady to look like the first lady from France.We will have Michelle to represent us with dignity and honor. It is people that make those types of comments make me feel good, because I voted for the future of my country. I voted my heart...not my fears or not my hatred. I voted for the future of my grandchildren. I voted for America. Michelle Obama will make a wonderful first lady. She is a mother, just like your mother, she deserves respect...
I voted Obama 08 for the future of young America.

John McCain doesn''t get it that Americans are struggling to make ends meet and they go spend 150Gs to dress the Palins even the boyfriend. How does that type of behavior make you guys more appealing to Joe the plumber and the middle class. You were not going to donate the clothes to charity, tell the truth. You were caught in your own cookie jar using donation money ooops Charity, yeah right. Like the bridge to nowhere, only when congress started an investigation, that when Sarah changed her mind. She didn''t stop the bridge to nowhere it was congress.
The reason the campaign has no money for ads is because they used the donations to dress up the Palins. Come on republicans, you have to be MAD. Yet another blunder with your pick for VP...whose judgement do we fault for this one. The McCain-Palin ticket has done it again...What''s next. Investigative reporters are digging and looking for more. America needs to know how Mavericks work, they shoot from the hip without even thinking. This could get America into more trouble.
Wake up young America....vote for the future of your country. Vote for America
Obama 08 giving young Americans the future they deserve.
