you will find this many times on this board.... that calculator does not allow for the fact the President-elect is going to allow the Bush tax cuts to expire and we will all be paying more. if you search archives you will find the link to the calculator that shows you how much more you will be paying.

Then how do you account for
The across the board repudiation of the GOP on Nov 4 and W's abysmal approval ratings. Get real. BTW, we can still see you are avoiding the question.
Not according to the account I read....
so we will agree to disagree.
I would buy misspeaking if he got the number of states wrong once...but tried two more times and still didn't get it right...that indicates he doesn't know.
Now does that alone disqualify him for becoming President? No. When McCain was set up, lead into something, and could not remember at that point or even did not know the name of the President of Spain, does that alone mean he is not qualified for becoming President, no.
It's a wash.
Except for your numbers don't account for everything
Do you have any idea how many people, especially minorities in Georgia work "under the table"?
And obviously if an African American is employed and a white is not, then the African American makes more.
Don't even get me started on welfare and how minorities get first dibs on that too.
I've said it before, and I'll say it again: It was never about equality, it was about payback. Minorities have more opportunities than ever and more help than ever, while lower and middle class white people are just SOL. They can't get food stamps, they can't get scholarships, they can't get any kind of help the way minorities can.
Not quite the same as paying it from his own personal account....sm
You can rest assured that Obama, like every other American, will take all the tax credits he can and pay the least amount of taxes he has to. A nice campaign slogan, but it doesn't hold water.
If he fails
We will succeed. We as a country together will succeed. It means we will not be thrown into socialism. Even Vladimir Putin has been telling the leaders of our country that they know first hand about socialism and it is not a path we want to take. So if he fails it means the country will succeed. Who wouldn't want that. It's not a person thing, if there was anyone else in the country trying to drag our country down the same hole I would be against it. I was born and raised in a free America. I grew up with the beliefs instilled in me that I can do anything I set my mind on doing and the harder I work the more I will benefit. But those ideas are now eroding away and the people who are trying to be successful and get ahead are being punished. I love the country the way it was (before Bush and Clinton that is). I love our founding fathers for risking their lives to create two of the most important documents of our history - The Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. I don't want to see it re-written and our laws changed. It is perfect the way it is and nobody should be trying to re-write or do away with it (or just ignore it altogether). So if failure is the option so the country will succeed then by all means. This has nothing to do with past presidents and what they did or didn't do. This has to do with everything that is going on now (present day) and what is being planned for in the future.
I want the country and all Americans to succeed, and I want a leader who will back that and not punish us by taxing us more and spending all our money (and the money of our kids and grandkids) while lining the pockets of the rich (themselves and their buddies). I have lived a life of hard work and honesty and why I'm being punished to pay for the people who have not been honest, who went out and bought a house they could not afford and knew they couldn't afford but bought it anyway. The ones who racked up their credit cards, not with necessities but with all the latest and greatest gadgets and entertainment type things, vacations they couldn't afford and shouldn't have, and now I'm going to be taxed to help bail them out when I have done without (last vacation I took was 4 years ago and that was to go back for my moms funeral - oh yeah, what a great vacation that was), I'm sorry, but too many people are being bailed out of things they should be responsible for. Too many companies are getting bailed out and not using the money for what it is. Too many projects are now added to that atrocity of a spending bill that in no way will benefit the country and people, and only ensure a re-election for the politician and where is it coming from???? My hard working tax dollars. Anytime anyone tries to get ahead they are being punished. I'm sorry but I don't want to see that succeed.
Too much is wrong in Washington and as much as he is an great and eloquent speaker his actions are louder.
When all else fails.....(sm)
I have no idea why I can't get the link to hold. So....
Google: The Rachel Maddow Show
It will be the video entitled "The torture documents are in the mail."
Unless you see a link down here....trying again.
Why? Because she fails to see your brilliance?
You don't need adoration from others...
Truthseeker has been around a long time on this board. We do not need your synposis of her.
Personally, I think you are full of yourself...
Fails to explain the support he is getting from
all over the Arab world...predominantly Sunni Moslems, BTW. You forgot the part about burning Bush in effigy.
I guess Harvard fails to provide that course, eh?

When all else fails, play the race card, right?
"You have a problem with someone speaking against THIS president, cause he is black and you can't stand it!"
This is what happens when you let Janine Garafalo tell you what to think.
Puh-THETIC.
SP wardrobe fails to make silk purse from sow's ear.
How many hockey/soccer moms do you know that shop at Sak's and Neiman's? Sour the net on Michell's makeover last summer and you will come up with some radically different rhetoric. That $150,000 might be better sent down ticket to rescue GOP's one-woman disaster area Michelle Bachmann's tanked MN 6th district campaign against Elwyn Tinklenbeg after he raked in a cool million following her HUAC comments last Friday night.
Yes, key word is FIGHT, you don't debate. You name call and badger, and when that fails

We can see just how well that's working for the camp.
