On Mr. Obama
Tough not to like the guy. Quick mind, quick wit, understandable (dare I say "articulate") and seems to just "flow". Now if he weren't so (apparently so) committed to setting a cap on what a citizen is allowed to earn legally then taking all that's above the cap and redistributing it to those deemed "worthy" by himself and/or our legislators I might like him much more. If I am correct in my remembering that he said "Rich people don't need all that money"...or something very similar... I have to give him many negative marks and take him off my VOTE FOR list.
Interesting that he (and many others) don't seem to connect the ability/opportunity to "prosper" in in America (or anywhere) with the marked success of the country's business creation and maintenance. If the government penalizes the "rich" for being successful (ie sets a cap on earnings via income tax rates) and continues to saddle businesses/corporations with the responsibility of paying for more and more "programs" (bailout or otherwise) who will be interested in being in business here...aspire to create wealth here...create jobs for our citizens here... Guys, if you beat the job creators up too much they ain't gonna be interested in doing it here.... Redistribution on wealth is not consistent with what made America great. The possibility to succeed without limit is what made America great and that possibility is in danger of becoming a part of our past.
Gotta go now...my head hurts.......

Too many things going on and too many comments to make on a daily, weekly basis not to have them spill out somewhere. Some good, some bad and some inbetween. Agree or disagree...let me know.
