Re: Time is not money to the FCC
I'd be happy if, instead of running for president, he would just take care of the people who elected him to the Senate. 
While I admire your conviction, it's naive to think that Obama would be able to get anything done in DC unless even more changes happen in Congress.

| What you mean actually change the system? Impossible. Inconceivable. Ludicrous. [Insert random blustering for another 10 minutes] This can only change if [insert party you oppose] agrees to do [more meaningless and irrelevant blustering here]
Thank you for watching CSPAN.
Sidenote:
I like Obama as much or more than any of the current front runners, but I have no confidence that things will change. Not without wholesale alterations placing more responsibility and especially accountability on those that are elected. |

Even Bush I would be a solid positive step in a better direction. Throwing a smart and charismatic leader in will definitely be a change. Will it be enough to end all corruption, get our whole government, country, political climate, budget, and on and on back together? No. But to claim things won't change is patently wrong.

Obama is OK, but saying you like him better is like saying you like one thug over another because he only hits you in the knees with his baseball bat rather than your knees and your head like the other guy.
Looks like it's going to be another round of picking the least vile alternative in 2008.

Hey, I voted for him and like the guy as a Senator. But pinning any expectation of change in DC on one guy is insane.

While I admire your conviction, it's naive to think that Obama would be able to get anything done in DC unless even more changes happen in Congress. One thing I see in him is he's taken no money from PACs or lobbyists. He returned $50,000 he got from them. In a 4-16 poll, he's in a dead heat with, ughhh, Hillary. He actually outraised Hillary $19-12.5 million from 2x the number of donors.
Rudy, my former mayor, wasn't that great. 9-11 gave that illusion. Hillary doesn't care about anything but her becoming President.
Nobody can change that crooked system, but anyone willing to try, and seems sincere about it, has my vote.
Sen. Thompson quit because he was lazy and said, "it was too much work." (paraphrase) Cheney redux?
Edwards is lying every time he opens his meely mouth. Newt is a nut, Romney is just plain weird, and the rest don't even require a mention.
I wouldn't be surprised if Iraq is over in a year. The Shiites want us out (probably so they can kill the Suunnies (sic). |
