Why do you think if not voting for obama thats racist? Hate to tell you I wouldnt vote for obama for the simple fact he is a socialist who has previously and reciently surrounded himself with terrorists who have not only injured and killed people in our great country (true american citizens)in the past but who wish they had killed more and stated that reciently. Also I wouldn't want a first lady if you want to call her that. Whome has never been proud of her country. Carol I think you need to quit being racist trying to vote for a color instead of integrity. Oh and about your comment regarding Joe the plumber, who cares what he makes there are plenty of citizens who do make more than 250,000 a year that this tax hike will effect. IF Osama Obama wants people to embrace this plan why hasn't he come out and stated the true effects this would have on our economy so that people who dont listen hard enough to the facts just how white his smile is will vote for him. Dont you understand when you wake up and your alarm clock goes off your taxed for the electric when you make your coffee in the morning you were taxed on the cup you purchased to put it in and the filters to make it. The gas you put in your car to drive to work you are taxed on. when you recieve your pay check again taxed on the work you do. When after 40 years of hard taxed work and you retire you are then taxed again and when you die your family then gets to pay a death tax for you. Please listen harder to the issues at hand and vote responsibly for what will better this country. In reply to carol. Why do you think if not voting for obama thats racist?

Obama hand picked Shepard Fairey as his official campaign artist and has openly praised Shepard’s illegal activity and career. A career that has been built on violating the legal rights of other artists and visual rhetoric that promotes violence on the streets. Why on earth did Obama make him his official campaign artist? Obama actually sent Shepard a letter praising his career and his illegal activity, like putting Obama stickers on stop signs! So does that mean that Obama supports illegal activity that cost tax payers billions per year in city clean up? Why is the media not pointing this out? Obama refuses donations from Rezko but accepts $400,000 in donations from Obama merchandise from this thug? Shepard Fairey has made images of the White House burning in the past and images that depict President Bush being taken down. How is that not negative for this country? Better question, why does Obama praise Shepard's career when it is been based on attacking this country and the government with visual rhetoric that is overly violent? Because he is a socialist. That is why. That is why Shepard keeps saying his work is more “positive” now. Bullocks! Shepard Fairey's original HOPE image of Obama is not 'original'. It is based off of a poster that another artist made of Che in the 60s. Shepard Fairey is a copyright violator and petty criminal. Look up Rene Mederos and the work that Shepard stole from him. He does not give anyone credit unless he is caught, or "busted" as he puts it. The only copyright Shepard Fairey acknowledges is his own. Obama has said great things about the arts and how he will fund art education and programs, but at what cost? His actions by hand picking Shepard Fairey to reperesent his campaign visually proves that he does not care about the rights of artists. Either that or he is too lazy to do a simple search for ’Shepard Fairey’ online in order to find out who exactly this art thief and criminal is. The fact that Obama does not answer his artist supporters about his thoughts on the oprhan works bill also shows that he does not care about the rights of artists. He cares about art, but not about the rights of those who create it! That is socialism my friends!

Why do some people think they are entitled to getting a check for doing nothing? It’s pathetic. To those who think spreading the wealth is a good idea…you are not incapable of making your own wealth. EVERYONE is capable. Stop looking to others and it is not up to the government to decide how much money people should give away. Obama’s plan will either remove incentive to make money or force businesses to move, BOTH lead to less jobs, less money, less taxes. McCain’s plan is to increase incentive, build businesses, increase jobs, increase taxes (not in percentage per business, but in growth through more businesses and increased productivity). Obama’s plan is good only for those who have no faith in their own ability to be successful. McCain’s plan is better for the country.
