No "If"

Posted By: sbMT on 2008-10-26
In Reply to: Obama - Stardust

He didn't say "If I am president" He said "When I am president"

I'll try to find a clip where he says it, but I remember him saying it because I remember commenting to my husband that it was odd to say that instead of "If"

Correction - This..."If you are not with me, you are against me."
is Bush's motto.

Yep, the "if its true" factor.

What part of "if and when" did you not understand?
Please go back and read the post slowly and pay attention.

I didn't say that depends on what the definition of "IF"
There is a big difference between IF and WHEN. IF I said "...If I go to the store" or "...when I go to the store" IF means I may go to the store, WHEN means I WILL go to the store.

The other poster said that Mccain was saying he was going to be president and I pointed out that so did Obama and I gave PROOF from his OWN site.

"If the laws in this country are not going to be enforced, what's the point of having them?
Would that include Proposition 8 that was recently upheld as lawful? ;-)
