Chris Grieb Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 Am I the only person who is waiting for some substance? Am I the only person who is finding Obama to be big snake oil salesman?He talks about a $4,000 grant to pay for tuition with a requirement of community service for two year. How much would this cost? How would it be adminisered? What program would receive these "volunteers"? Why isn't anyone else raising these questions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merjet Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 There is a little more substance here. However, it is the same old demagoguery and statism typical of Democrats.By the way, I wrote an article about Obama, Hillary and health care costs for Rebirth of Reason, which is here.

jordanz Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 He is an empty shell. His issue statements are horrible. Yet, I hope he wins. What a sad state we're in. I view Obama as the least bad of an all bad slate of candidates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jordanz Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 Jordan; How about the first ten people from the Carmel telephone directory. We might get you or Rita.;)I plan on being elated for about a week when I get to see Hillary eat crow and concede. Then, the depression will set in. I have a glimmer of hope, though, that Obama will not have a lot of investment in his stated platform and will govern from the center - there is some speculation that this will happen. Other than that, his presidency will have the one great outcome of lessening the potency of the race-baiters. Along with a shellacking in Congress, it should also cause a re-working of the GOP.If nothing good comes of it, at least I can watch the video of Hillary conceding over and over. Thank God for small pleasures.If Hillary wins.... I hear New Zealand isn't a bad place to live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

merjet Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 Obama reveals himself as a tax and spend liberal. His aides say the cost would be covered by ending the Iraq war, closing corporate tax loopholes and allowing many of Bush tax cuts to expire in 2010. In other words, the $400+ billion deficit is completely irrelevant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
