"I am voting for Obama now and he has only given me hope" .... this was a question concerning would you vote for Obama if he gave you a bunch of free health insurance car, etc etc etc.... In my last question I stated that people are dumb, panicky dangerous animals... a Men in Black quote that for some reason stuck with me all these years.... must be 8 or 9 by now.... anyway, this is what I'm talking about... I have no decision on who I am voting for yet, Obama's hope is one reason I don't want to vote for him... he inspires this hope that has a very strong possibility of falling flat on its face and leaving us with absolutely nothing. Anyone agree that these people need to be a little bit more educated to vote? Shouldn't we require a test upon registration? Thank you for your answers. Undecided, is not uninformed. Searcher, I am simply trying to figure out what I can do to decide, that is my issue, they need to convince me, whoever convinces will get the vote. That is the idea anyway. I am currently favoring McCain because he has good ideas with no ending, rather than just a good ending with no support. Obama is saying... "This is where we have to be" and I'm am sitting here saying, "No, $hit... Thanks Captain Obvious, now give me a way." I agree Pat, that Bush is failing miserably, but I also believe that he is doing better than people allow each other to believe. It isn't his fault we are in this mess necessarily. This is the greed of Banks, I am talking about the economy now, I am in the middle of it, working in financials smack in the middle of NYC. Trust me I am aware of what caused it. I've even been able to play it with a portfolio that is up 50%. And don't downplay the statement, that a person is smart on their own, but people in groups are what cause the chaos and stupidity. I don't care that it came from a stupid movie, people are sheep, everyone should know that.
