I didn't vote for Barack Obama back in November in the general elections here in the United States. Obama strikes me as intelligent and articulate. He's well dressed and a handsome looking man who is also husband to an attractive wife and father to two beautiful children. I also believe he's about as qualified to be President Of The United States as your average every day tree stump. This topic thread will serve as a periodic forum for me to level some of my skewered, and non-skewered opinions on Barack Obama and also on his political party, the Democrats. I welcome any and all replies to this topic thread. There isn't very much by way of politically themed diatribe at this message board and there may not be any more of it simply because of the creation of this topic thread. Either way I'm not going to be silent about my disdain for Democrats and Obama anymore.  Thread starter: -the econonomic stimulus package put together by the Democrats now stands at a staggering $825 billion, and is a combination of tax credits for businesses and individuals as well as funds earmarked for large infrastructure projects among the various states, as well as other incentives designed to aid homeowners who are currently on the brink of losing their homes to foreclosure. What got my immediate interest was the tax cuts aimed at individuals and married couples. The Democrat's stimulus plan would offer a $500 tax break to a single working individual making under $75,000 a year, which I do. That translates to less than $10 more on my paycheck a week. Barack Obama's campaign was heavily based on his promise to help Americans keep more of their money. $10 more a week.... Does Obama really think that another $9.60 on my paycheck every week will help me save more money, upgrade to a decent apartment, help me afford medical insurance that actually has benefits like prescription drug discounts and lower doctor's office co-pays? If Obama does then I would submit this man also believes in the tooth fairy, Santa Clause and flying pigs.
