June 7, 200818 yr Yea!!! Chicago is now one step away from ruling the Empire!:laugh3: The University of Chicago's finest hour!
June 8, 200818 yr By what I heard and Obamas pledge of support for Isreal I dont think think there will be no chang Because you assume he'd write the major policies if elected, you're very wrong.
June 8, 200818 yr McCain=Bush=Obama=Hillary.... Well said:) and you can add, McCain=Bush=Obama=Hillary=Zionism
June 9, 200818 yr To the contrary! Go to opensecrets.org, a non-partisan watchdog group dedicated to telling the truths of the money trail - there's a difference alright! And I think Obama might, just might, do the right things for the US and the world if we hold his feet to the fire, lest things backslide down the usual slippery slope of political convenience. He's got the will of much of the people, but to keep it, he will have to show some true character when in office. As for McCain - he's compromised himself beyond repair; I used to deeply respect his integrity, but he has backslid on reform issues and kisses up to the far right, when he should be standing up to those elements in his party..
June 9, 200818 yr Obama's the same as Bush.....anyone else who thinks differently has fooled themselves.
June 9, 200818 yr I know the old saying - "it doesn't matter who you vote for - the government always gets in!":laugh3: But there is definitely a difference. For starters, Obama actually had to EARN his degree. Bush was a legacy student, and the legacy he's leaving us is one helluva mess!! Not the usual pedigree, either. Most of the ruling families in recent years came from one street of row houses in Boston (the Kerry's, the Kennedy's, the Bushes, etc.) - Obama will break that, and crack the control that certain elites have had over the past few years. (Not that those elites all agree anyways, but this is a break from those dynastic families..)

The way the parties and government is set up, it won't matter. Yes they are two very different men, but politically not different. He'll still be a figure head for the real people running the government making little difference. I'd prefer him to win over McCain because I like him as a person more, but I know it won't change anything politically.
June 9, 200818 yr Perhaps you're right, but I defer to the money trail as an indicator of differences. After all, money talks! (er.. the people giving the money do the talking, and the official puts a stamp on the bills - the official seal;)).. So, Obama might be a little better in that department. Plus, this whole war idea in Iraq was a crazy neocon adventure, sold to the current batch by Wolfowitz and his mentor. As Ray McGovern said in all earnest to us, "the crazies are in charge now!" - and Ray spent quite a few years in the upper levels, so I trust his analysis on the current batch's mindset. Obama and his cabinet will not carry such disturbing baggage, but will have to extract us from the mess we're in. He's not just a better man, but a saner man! And besides, he's a University of Chicago Graduate, so all will be better!:P
June 9, 200818 yr Maybe he is what we need to break the cycle, you bring up some goods point. I shall research it more, thanks.
June 9, 200818 yr Well, I'm hoping so at least... but you do have a point - the power to go against a certain money base is very difficult to do ... I'm just hoping the market gamblers and the giant corps. have seen the risks that have been run, and are a little more wise this time around as well.. Plus, a lot of young professionals have put money behind Obama, and if they can keep up the pressure, he may turn out to do the US and the world some good for a change. We've run quite a few red lights with the last administration - and the passengers are looking for a safer ride this time round'.
June 10, 200818 yr Author the most important thing for our country right now is to get our troops home. its simple. obama will do that. mccain won't. we'll worry about any other changes that will or will not be made when we get there. but first lets bring our boys home safely
