  • Part of your Obama quote is missing.

    "'We're going to grow our Foreign Service, open consulates that have been shuttered and double the size of the Peace Corps by 2011 to renew our diplomacy,' Obama told the Colorado audience." That's what he said before the statement you're quoting from YouTube.

    I'm getting this information from CNS News, a wire service founded and still influenced by Brent Bozell - if you want to look him up and verify that he's no liberal, go ahead.

    Obama then told a reporter for the Defense News who asked about the remark, "We need to be able to deploy teams that combine agricultural specialists and engineers and linguists and cultural specialists who are prepared to go into some of the most dangerous areas alongside our military."

    But again, time will tell. I predict by 2012 the government will not have confiscated or prohibited guns, we'll still be able to vote and Obama won't have a secret police to harass his opponents. And you'll still find plenty of reasons to badmouth Obama and back a whole slew of people who would be far worse. I guess in four years if you're still blogging we'll know who was right.

  • "Three days ago, he said (if you happened to hear it), that Americans need to SPEND more to help the economy............

    ..................people losing their jobs and homes.......we've got to watch every dollar now...and THIS guy wants us to go out and spend more."

    Jobs are created by the demand for and purchase of goods and services. Whether it be the purchase of government services with taxation, or the purchase of services and goods by individuals from private enterprises.

    We all know how you feel about taxation. Now, you're against people spending more in the marketplace? There is only one way to describe you, Bradbury - Pro-depression. A depression is more and more clearly what you want for America.

  • "Now........when he was RUNNING.....this is the guy who was going to give tax cuts to NINETY-FIVE percent of Americans, and just TAX THE RICH to do it!

    Remember that 95% he kept throwing in our faces during the debates?"

    Obama is proposing an immediate stimulus package that includes "$300 billion worth of tax cuts," in conservative economist Larry Kudlow's words this past week. Sounds to me like a start to tax cuts for 95 percent of us.

  • And what's going to happen if they stop spending? How exactly will that create jobs?

    If Obama and congress can agree on how to deliver tax relief to middle-class Americans, it will give more people more money to spend. Whatever goods and services they spend that money on, people will be able to get jobs in those fields - for instance, if the middle class turns around and want to buy more guns and ammo with their tax cuts, then gun stores and ammo factories will have greater sales and will be able to hire more people.

    That's one way to create jobs. The other is to have the government do things - rebuild bridges that are in bad shape, inspect workplaces for hiring illegal immigrants and safety and health violations, fund energy research.

    Obama is working on both. McCain/Palin probably wouldn't be trying either.

    Where does the money come from? Tax increases on other people or spending cuts in other places, or both. Or borrowing.

  • "Inspect workplaces for hiring ILLEGALS????????

    I can't take this, so early in the morning. Why don't we just set up a Krispy Kreme along the border and give 'em donuts and coffee as they come across?"

    You have a problem with checking the employment status of a company's workers and prosecuting the companies who serially employ illegal immigrants?

    I've always thought if the U.S. cut in on their ability to work here i'd go a long way to discouraging illegal immigration in the first place. Bundle the inspection up with inspections in other fields and, what do you get? More bang for your buck and safer workplaces for American labor.

  • Should be "it'd go a long way."
