Bill Maher on Obama

[Nbadan]

Sure...Reaganomics doesn't work

Highest in how many years again?

The unemployment rate rose from 5.7 to 6.1 percent in August, and nonfarm payroll employment continued to trend down (-84,000). In August, employment fell in manufacturing and employment services, while mining and health care continued to add jobs.

The only thing trickle down economics (otherwise known as Voodoo economics) works for is Wall Street...and we've now seen the outcome of that story..

It's not the punch line to a joke that you can literally see Russia from there.

"I can see Russia from my house...now fork over the check, buster!"

Military Industrial Complexes are welfare states, too.

I'm not voting for Barrack Obama because he is liberal.

Nothing to do with his race, his intelligence, the fact that he smokes, or any other thing you can imagine.

He is liberal.

He will expand the government; he has promised to.

I am opposed to his policies; what he has said he is GOING to do.

I have a feeling MANY opponents of Obama feel this way; tough pill for Maher to swallow, I guess.

This is a very reasonable position. I agree that Obama is too liberal in terms of his citing government as the en y which can cure most of our wills.

The problem is, I think there are many people who are voting against Obama for the reasons cited in this article (i have no idea how many, but i do think there are too many). Labeling the Democratic candidate as "elitist" is something that the hard right in this Country has been trying for the past 10 or so years. And in light of his resume and background, I think he's pretty dang far from an "elitist". He's just too liberal.

Rove's analogy was a smearjob and one that I dont see how too many reasonable could agree with it. It's as though he's just repeating his lines from the past 10 years without realizing they dont apply at all to Obama.

I can almost guarantee guys like Rove, Hannity, O'Reilly etc will be calling the next 4-5 democratic candidates "elitists".

It is laughable to me that this country is full of morons that believe anything the Republican party says about it's opposition. All they have to do is repeat the same half-lies and people will say it's true. They'll say that Obama is a Muslim and he supports terrorist and of course people will believe it all.

I'm voting for Obama which doesn't really matter either way because I live in Texas and my vote doesn't count. But I have the feeling that McCain will win because of the same bull politics and lies that won Bush the presidency 4 years ago. Stupid ass people believing stupid ass lies.

Have faith...even Texas is a lot more compe ive for Obama than it was for Kerry or Gore. Part of that is, I believe, Obama is a much more exciting candidate for people to get behind, and part of that is because the last 8 years have been such a disaster that many people now realize what a huge mistake Bush was.
