Bush Compares Obama To Nazi Appeasers

Obama Campaign Launches "Vote For Change" Voter Registration Drive

Society's sense of "opportunity" had rapidly evaporated, and desperate reaction to the "system" is setting in. Obama has presented an alternative rooted in a social force that neither Clinton nor McCain have really understood or do battle against.

Poking fun at the candidates is now about all that remains to be simmered and enjoyed around this democratic exercise.

OBAMA, A SOCIAL PHENOMENON

A Vote for Hillary Is a Vote for the Death of the Dollar

A positive way to perceive the debt is that the majority of it was borrowed in $1.50 dollars. It will now be repaid in $1.00 dollars.

That's the advantage of being the world's currency. There is no conversion working against you so the debt in finite dollar terms has not changed. The size of the debt has in effect been shrunk ... still enormous, but shrunk significantly nonetheless. Now America just needs to seriously cut spending. posted 04/02/2008 at 15:58:29
