Talk To US: How Has The Recession Affected Your Family?

Talk To US: How Has The Recession Affected Your Family?

“I have been selling candy at my high school since my Junior year and it has been paying really well, unbeliveably.

I worked at target in September but I was laid off after the month was over, which forced me to go back to the candy selling business. I now have 2 peopl working for me and I make $80 a week in profit that goes in my pocket and my partners get their share as well.

The economy has effected my family, but not in a way that we cannot manage. With a few cutbacks and me helping out and providing for some of my needs and wants I give my parents a extra hand with getting by.”

“And the good thing about it is that if the Repubs stab him in the back, the whole country would know about it. The information that we have at our fingertips has greatly improved over the last 8yrs, and the ability to recieve info without any filters is delightful as well.

If they stab him in the back and are seen as a party holding back our nation from really doing something constructive it will be just a deeper hole.

But hey the Dems control both house and senate and the white house.”

“Agreed.

It was a sad attempt at satire and wound up just being flat out racist. It wasn't funny at all it's a downright shame.

And you know what else is a shame? The Detriot Lions will go 0-16. Look on the bright side you still have the Pistons.”

“I guess "thought police" like you adv2int can be democratic (and Obamamaniacs) as well as Bushites and Karl Rove supporters. My take: Hildebrand, whose profile tells us he is a political consultant and campaign manager all his life, cannot face up the arguments of real progressives who point out that : 1. Obama has flip-flopped on lots of promises since the election 2. Obama has failed to pick a member of the democratic wing of the democratic party to his cabinet. I am a lifelong progressive and up til this article, I had never heard of Hildebrand. I guess I know why. He's little more than a Rove reincarnation.”

“To quote another poster Roy49:

"...There are a lot you so called Democrats out there that are just waiting with sharpened knives, just waiting to jump on anything he may do wrong (and you suck)! Damn it people, HE"S A HUMAN BEING AND HE"S NOT EVEN IN OFFICE YET!!! Give the man a few months to get it together before you start stabbing him in the back cause THERE"S A LOT OF CRAP TO CLEAN UP, IT STINKS, AND IT"S ALL OVER THE PLACE!!"”

“Face it most of these people are Nader idealist that do not understand that the country will never be as left leaning as European countries and the rest are tro//s with new socks.

The people who say they are Obama supports that do not even give him a chance to show what he can do when he takes office think Obama owes them something. I for one am glad Obama owes no one anything that in itself is a huge change.”

“If I am not mistaken they have sent up a website, change.gov, so you can be heard.

I don't see one thing that is evidence that Obama and his team forgot about us.”

“Adv2int,
Yes, I'd say look at the cabinet for evidence. Look at Obama supporting continuance of NSA spying on Americans. Look at waffling (already) on tax cuts. Look at back tracking on Iraq pull out. That's all in, what, three weeks! What more do you need? Well, that may be coming, too. My point - let the man know we do NOT want a sort of liberal government. We want a REAL one.”

Querent replied on Dec 08, 2008 at 23:15:06

“No progressives in the cabinet. I think that's pretty clear evidence.”

“You know I made phone calls too (a ton of them ), I donated and bought merchandise, I spent time convincing democrats and republicans to vote for Obama and I want Obama to keep his PROMISES as well but I'm not going to criticize him before he takes office when the guy hasn't technically done anything (besides pick his cabinet).

This is the man I supported throughout the primaries and the general election and I wouldn't have supported the guy if I didn't trust his judgment.

He'll keep his promises if he wants to go 8yrs.

Let the guy get elected and wait and see what he does.”

“This is like saying that you won't criticize a person building a prison before he finishes it because you don't actually know what he is going to use it for because he hasn't put any prisoners inside!”

“Combine both pthesmith, GDAmerica, and irisda's comments and that'll be mine.

With the addition of the fact that AA's (and some other ethnic groups) strongly believe in their religion, as do many other people who are against gay marriage, which has been established for thousands of years it would be extremely difficult for those people to go against their own religion.”

“Yeah well done indeed

Sen. Obama stepped into Sen. McCain's ring (foreign policy) and took him head on, and stood his ground

If Sen. Obama can perform as well as he did in the debate yesterday in the rest of the debates and perhaps even better, then on election night there will be no contest.

Period”
