Obama's an idiot, huh? And I want to vote for a man who has simple counting problems and doesn't know how many houses he has? A man who wants to continue keeping our troops in Iraq and spending $10 billion in a country that has a huge surplus, while our country suffers trillions of dollars in deficts? A man who states that our econmy is solid and strong, and that under the Bush administration millions of jobs were created, yet the number of unemployed people increased to 9.1 million people in our country? A man who states that anyone making $5 million dollars is considered middle class (by whose standards)? $10 million dollars being spent in Iraq every month, while children in this country go to bed hungry because the job their mother or father had was outsourced to a foreign country. A man who called the American people a "country of whiners" ? A man who has said that we're winning the war in Iraq, while almost 4800 of our brave men and women have paid the ultimate sacrifice and their families left behind struggle to survive day to day? This may be the kind of president you desire,but it's not my idea one. I want a president who puts this country and the people in it first. A president who will lead our nation to break our dependence on foreign oil, not continue it because of his ties to the industry. A president who ensure that the children of this nation receive an education that will make them competitive with others in the world. A president that believes in keeping jobs in our country, not rewarding companies who send them overseas, putting the American workers out of a job. A president who will work hard to ensure that everyone in the country have access to affordable health care. So if you want to, as you so eloquently put it, 'waste a vote for John McCain and "more of the same" type of government,go ahead. I'll put my vote on a true 'maverick'.
