" HOWEVER, when the Republicans were in control the forecasts did not foresee the current situation"
Give me a break. I never went to business school, but I knew, watching the 125% LTV ads, the teaser rate ads, the no-money-down ads, and the balloon rate ads, it was headed for a fiasco. Watch closely...the politicians will also pretend they couldn't see the Medicare and Social Security tsunamis coming at us, though they've been visible for over a generation, and party hacks from each side will claim purity and blame the other.
"The deomocrats havn't passed anything to prevent the financial mess."
The Republicans set the all-time record for filibusters, in less than half the time. And Bush still owns the veto pen. What's your point?
"to simply say Obama is the savior and will save this country is ignorant. "
Only rightwingers and idiots claim Obama is the savior. Sometimes they're one and the same.
"But w have to look at the lesser of the two evils here. Obama wants to implement socialism in this country"
Are you joking? Republican economics have FORCED socialism on us.
" Take from the rich and redistribute the wealth."
What do you think has been happening the last 8 years...just in reverse? This is the really dumb thing: the wealthiest got a 60% rate cut on their dividends. Do you make over $350,000? If not, guess who's paying for that massive tax cut for the wealthy?
"It takes hard work, dedication, and not being afraid to fail.."
Unless you're a capitalist...until you lose and want socialism.
"Welfare is a blight on this country that has become a CANCER..."
Are you talking about the Wall Street Welfare Queens and their trillion dollar bailout? Or is welfare only bad when it goes to the poor?
"It will not help, it in the long run will only destroy this nation..."
Wake up. The last 8 years have gotten us in this mess.
