Well, this is something unpredictable Ethan. Nobody knows what might happen on the other day. So, we just need to wait and see. Comparing Obama to Bush? I don't think that they are the same in principles. The new President of the United States unveiled his economic stimulus plan he calls the American Recovery and Reinvestment Plan. Democratic leaders have proclaimed their opposition, stating that the tax cuts outlined in the plan will not encourage spending. The stimulus checks that were sent out last year during the Bush Administration made little difference, and many argue that this plan will be just the same. Nonetheless, President Obama is determined to restore some good in the economy by also putting restrictions on some business tax breaks.

Peace, eh?
Exactly Ethan, he doesn't necessarily disagree with the war itself inasmuch as its strategy (i.e. he thinks we need more troops in Afghanistan.) I guess adding troops to Afghanistan is peaceful, as long as you engage in "diplomatic talks" at the same time. And yes, those of you who will comment on this, I spent a great deal of time researching the platforms of all candidates, so don't twist the story.

The person I would want to be president is someone who could stand up and say that we have been lied to; that person would make moves on punishment for Bush and Co.

For a laugh, type in "Obama peace" into a Flickr.com search...

He may have done drugs earlier in life, but Obama is certainly no hippie, lol.

I feel your pain Ethan. I really liked Ron Paul and I voted for him in the primaries. I, too voted Chuck Baldwin in the election and it makes me sad how many uneducated voters there are. Even the good candidates that ran in the primaries as Democrats got very little play by the media. I suppose this is the wake up call the country needs to finally realize the con of the two-party system, but it's unfortunate that race-relations will only get worse under Obama. If you check out the recent libertyconspiracy podcasts on iTunes you'll hear his new term "racialism" - which is essentially blaming all opposition of being racist. No rational argument will be allowed this presidency - it's agree or be labeled a racist.

I agree that Obama wasn't a peace candidate, yet many people on my campus had peace symbols on Obama stickers and were totally conned by that too. What a shame.
