What's the matter with f-tards who want a war, love a war so much they moan in ecstasy and can't sit still, but don't want to pay a nickel for it? F-tards who don't mind owing China for the next 150 years and rising? Patriotism is biting the bullet at tax time, all you Red State Rich Folk. Or whatever kind of "folk" you folks are. I'm mystified. You want my son, his family, to literally sacrifice everything, and do it GLADLY, patriotically, but let Uncle Sam stretch a hand toward your fat wallet, and you faint from horror and revulsion that anything so barbaric could be asked of YOU?! Go to hell! Show me your patriotism or get out of my country! Come here and say to my face that you aren't going to accept a tax hike just because you earn a quarter million a year, but the troops had better be prepared to sacrifice until YOU say it's okay to come home! Boy, is your karma bad. Gooooood night.

I was perturbd by what Biden said, but it's coming into perspective quickly now. There's more at stake than who wins the U.S. presidential election, although that alone is very, very high stakes for America and the world. However, Obama takes office, doesn't mean our troubles are over. It only means we can now take on the heap o' trouble we are in. *Deep breath* I'm girding my loins right now. No snark. “Fascinating.”

He did great. Every President is tested and Obama will be no different. Now McCain is asking Russia for funds to his campaign so I guess it's trying to not only beg but make friends with the so called enemy. Next the McCain/Palin team might write to Iran for help with campaign funds. The World Leaders must be getting a good laugh at this one. Sarah says she would bomb Russia but turns and ask them for money.

I think it is to be expected. Therefore, the new president should be prepared for such occurrence and I am quite sure that Obama will be up to the task. I believe it was George Bush who was not only unprepared, but unwilling to listen to the warnings that occurred. McCain recently demonstrated that his lack of skills and poor instincts in a time of crisis; whereas Barack Obam remained clear thinking and steady. So what's criticism of Biden about -- looks like just another manufactured item from the McCain campaign. What is wrong about stating that the new president would be tested by the enemy?

Will he help in getting a real and independant prosecuter to find out who really is responsible for the demolition of the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001. Unfortunately our current president made certain that no meaningful investigation and without justification wrongly blamed it on Middles Eastern extreamist that could not possibly had done the job and had no access to the buildings to place the expertly installed demolition. The airliners were not hijacked but radio controled, and were there simply for the terror effect on the American People to get their support for the already planned invasions. The enemy is from within. And the enemy most likely does not wish Obama to win the election. The real enemies are already testing President Obama.
