Enjoy paying huge taxes over 50% of your hard work down the drain for no fault of your own and to help reward laziness illegals and pay the "credit card" tab for a spend daddy's money child. Our security will become lack & responses cowardly just like during Clinton's reign which will allow not just terrorism to thrive but future attacks almost guaranteeded. With Russia's sudden show of force a weak US is asking for trouble from a return of Russia as a super power again. Be scared of Obama. I would rather have an old or even dead guy as president no matter their race or sex or religion then to have Obama especially with his racist pastor questionable morals and exploitation of children.

The Laffer Curve is the foundation of supply side economics. Anyone who takes an HONEST look at it will agree with it's main premise: that there is an optimal top tax rate beyond which revenue drops increasingly to zero. It has been proven that drops from 90% and 70% worked as planned for Kenndy and Reagan. When GWB cut from 39 to 35 it worked again. We know that the optimal rate is here or lower. It also applies to corporate rates. Capital will flow to toward better treatment. Why do liberal democrats fight the very force that will generate more revenue to fund their dubious programs?

The first comment above: McCain = MacDonalds. Too old and tired to work. Is that ageist? Being liberal means never saying sorry.
Yet, Obama is NBA "super star". Black and arrogant?
Some brilliant commentary here. Really sums it up. Barack da vote, indeed.

There is no such thing as "Obamanomics". There are only economics.
Eighty percent of Americans know the country is going in the "wrong direction" with taxes cut too low at the top end, such that the latest budget forecast for the 2009 fiscal year is a $600B defict (yes, count the wars, don't "exclude" them.)
The nervous nellies about tax changes "causing a recession" would have you going in the same "wrong direction" forever.
Get a spine, people. Elect Washington chock full of Democrats. You owe it to your children.

Could you imagine McCain even having enough energy to run your local Mcdonalds. Seriously. Think about it next time your in line watching the Mcdonalds manager run around taking orders and shouting orders. McCain couldnt do it. So I ask You, how will McCain be president??? Looks as though the RNC got behind the wrong candidate and they will pay for it., Guess they should of let the primary season play out without trying to minupulate the outcome. My candidate lost, my vp isnt going to be on the ticket. Wow bummer. Good news is i think McCain is just about done, I wouldnt doubt the GOP ditch him at the last second and run a younger more charasmatic charachter. They could site his Cancer scare as the reason. I dont doubt that they will, Becuase he is becoming more unelectable by the day, with gaff after gaff. Did you see him knock all that stuff off the shelf at the supermarket. the video is at http://www.mccanes.com all the while barack obama is looking like an NBA super star, (arrogence and all) even taking time to stop and have a cigar break video at http://www.theobamaplan.com I mean really what is the GOP going to do. McCain cannot win at this point and we havnt even started the debates.
