I think it's messed up
that Senator Obama's immediate and not so distant relatives live in poverty and he apparantly does nothing about it. Am I wrong to think that this is a poor reflection on his character?

I wish I were making enough scratch to be threatened with a Barack Obama tax hike, but that's beside the point. But if you had a brother in Kenya living in a hut and an immigrant aunt living in a Boston slum, wouldn't you help them out?

Seriously! I literally just got off the phone with my mom a sec ago. She's desperately trying to talk me out of voting Obama (I'm not sure she understands how the electoral system works or that we live in the reddest state outside of Utah). She goes, "but honey, he's going to raise your taxes!!" I said, "I wish!"

I feel the same way every time I visit my relatives in Utah. I feel bad for them that they have to live there. But I feel like it is their responsibility to save their money and move away. I am helping them by letting them help themselves.

I consider both Obama and McCain to be regular old politicians. Not particularly better or worse than average. Just a couple of guys who play the game and do it pretty well. |

Yeah, that was pretty shocking. You'd think after getting their panties in a twist over Palin's $150K, the Obamaphiles would lower their noses enough to scoff at that a little.
