Obama supporters, please tell me how Obama will resurrect the economy. He says he’ll raise the minimum wage every year and end tax breaks for outsourcing companies, which won’t help a bit. He RIGHTFULLY opposes the stupid “gas tax holiday” idea championed by both Mccain and Clinton, but he appears to be in line with the democrats in their equally dubious “windfall profit tax” that failed badly during the Carter admnistration. He appears to be anti free trade, although he looks like he’s undecided on that point. I can go on, but Obama’s economic plan is more or less derived from the tired old “Let’s make the establishment pay” or “The rich are taking a free ride so they should contribute” sentiments that will get nothing done.
America have been fundamentally flawed in certain areas of the economy for some time, and doing something about it will help. Companies aren’t outsourcing programming and other jobs to India out of some brotherly love. It might be emotionally satfisying for frustrated Americans to blame it all on Bush, because the answer would be as simple as removing him from office. But it’s not.
Although I lean conservative, I never voted for Bush or Mccain in my life, so your ready made “You detestable brainwashed GOP freak” line doesn’t apply. Not all Americans will subscribe to “if you hate Bush than vote for Obama who’s nothing like him” line of logic.
On foreign policy, what can I say. No president of mine is going to talk to Kim Jong IL without preconditions.
