Well literally I did- but that’s more a story of agility, or my lack of. Obama is my candidate, but I’m not lock step with Barack What I appreciate about him is his “post-partisan” message and his connection with Generation X’ers and the millennial or echo boomer generation. Both of these groups have seen their real income drop significantly in recent years and want a government that invests in education, health care, infrastructure (there will be another I-35) expands the economy and job growth. That said, the skeptic in me ponders where the money will come from, and if he can persuade a majority of Senators and Representatives to make it happen. Interesting in his Kettering appearance he mentioned a visit to Google. Obama does not accept contributions from PACS, He does, however, accept bundling, i.e. - gathering individual checks from executives of corporations of $200.00 or more. He has procured over $293,000 from the aforementioned company. In the same vein, the presumptive Democratic nominee has mined over $544,000 from Goldman Sachs.
McCain’s largest accrual of $200.00 plus employee contributions comes from Merrill Lynch. The Senior Senator from Arizona has also raked in $128,000 plus from Goldman Sachs.

Hitler also connected with the youth.
Of course his message is non partisan. Hope and change hope and change.
With Obama they might not have to worry about income drops because they might be unemployed.
Michigan is one of the top states for investing in education and job growth. You can see where our high taxes have gotten us. What makes you think the rest of our nation will have success with it?
The money will likely come from you and every other American. Possibly through indirect taxation.

Hitler connected with the youth? Are you suggesting that Obama is a goose stepping supremacist? I know you can do better than that. If not, I am awfully very disappointed in you.

He flat ass scares me. I cannot beleive a political candidate with NO experience or traceable accomplishments can get this far into the most far reaching important elections ever simply by being charasmatic and good looking.
THE MAN HAS DONE NOTHING.

Did you read your post? You said “He flat ass scares me” I’ll have what you’re having. WTF does that mean? I done with you- as Joe Walsh once said- “you can’t argue with a sick mind.”

I'll beak it down as simply as I can.
I need to build a new skyscraper and I'm taking bids from contractors. One of the contractors submits a bid for the most beautiful buildings in the world...gives me a fantastic verbal on what the end result will be...and it sounds fantastic.....like heaven on earth...and it 's not going to cost me anything!!!! I'm so excited!!!!!
Then I ask to see his portfolio......
He doesn't have one...not one big building in his past.
He pulls out a picture of a 10' x 10' shed....and says.."I built this one" Needless to say I'm not impressed.
Would I hire him to build the skyscraper? No.... he hasn't the experience for me to trust him with a task that large or important.
This is alot more important than a building...it's the future of our Country..
The man has accomplished NOTHING...not ONE thing......name one piece of important legislation that he has had passed...just one...please.
HE HAS NO RESUME...JUST PROMISES...HOW CAN YOU TRUST HIM WITH A JOB SO BIG?

Hey Mutha.
Stratton aint stupid. He's vehemently anti Obama but he aint stupid.
(for the record, I have no idea whom he is)
Anyhow, what does post partisan mean?
Will Webster's have to make a new entry?
And, will people have to look up both words and devise their own interpretation?
I love that shit.
BTW "he flat ass scares me" is a statement. i.e.
"That Demerelda flat ass scares me!"
In this case "flat ass" is a verb.
LOL

"Scares" is the verb in that sentence.

I was suggesting your connection argument was invalid. Many socialist leaders connected with the younger generation. My point was not to argue Obama is like Hitler although Obama might help kill another 5 million blacks.

So is flat ass. It's a descriptive verb.
Blow me.
FYI Blow is not descriptive, and, I don't talk turkey with 8th graders.

They left out the 's after her name, so I don't think so. At least, I hope not!
If they did, the carnage would be terrible.

I believe "flat ass" is what's called a modifier or an article of the verb 'scare'.
Similar to an adverb. (I'm probably an elitist for knowing that)
Adam, you compare the guy to Hitler and then in your very next post say...

You invoke Hitler's name and then try to back off it with this crude pro-life statement. Pathetic.
I wonder if there would be an outcry if John Mccain's middle name was Adolf.

Obama is a U.S. Senator. Is that not an accomplishment? If your child graduates from college and is elected to the Senate will you say to your friends: Yeah he's smart and good looking, but he really hasn't accomplished anything.[/quote]

I believe the question is what are his accomplishments since becoming a US senator.
