My computer had been too slow to play it. One thing I am really learning through this collaboration process is that both candidates can sound really good, both have good ideas, but neither is powerful enough (even as president) to MAKE anything happen. It is a process. And it is not black or white, he's right and he's wrong. I would love to think that these things Obama talks about could come true with peaches and cream for everyone. From both candidates I feel we need more on the HOW front, and what will government CUT to make this work. There is plenty of money there, but right now it is all being spent (plus some). Tell me more about what will go away, not what you will make happen. But I guess that is not what will win an election...cadh 8https://www.blogger.com/profile/16229405846825667683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28353717.post-10870393656638651632008-09-22T05:26:00.000-04:002008-09-22T05:26:00.000-04:00Annie D over at Xanga is looking at some of these ...Annie D over at Xanga is looking at some of these questions too.

And the comment "during my first term"...it makes you realize that no matter how the presidential debates go, it will not be a quick change. THis is why none of us should be too afraid of who will get elected, because regardless, change will be slow. Remember all of Bush's ideas about changing social security? After all that debate and fear mongering, nothing even changed at all. <BR/>And that is a scary fact too, because that means SS is in as much trouble as ever. And healthcare may be in just as bad of a quagmire in 4 years as it is now, even if Obama is elected. And if we had drilled 10 years ago we would not be in this gas crisis...and the ants go marching on. <BR/>But anyway, this post was good for learning a bit more about Obama's ideas.cadh 8https://www.blogger.com/profile/16229405846825667683noreply@blogger.com
