I honestly don't know if we are heading that way are not. I doubt we are.

I think a lot of the media has made the perception that we are in the worst economic situation in years.

Except, we aren't. Yeah we are slow, but news released yesterday showed that spending this last quarter was higher than most economists expected, and is increasing...not decreasing.

And it said even though we are in a sluggish economy, it was worst in 2003, and is about the same as we were in 2000 and the early 90s.

All right before elections. It's just a cycle and it happens. Come November things will start to rally and get strong primarily because we will have a new leader on the way.

They still have it. They just don't call it that on the menu anymore, primarily because of the "Supersize Me" book/movie/etc...

LOL....yeah I actually meant to ask it that way "Tired of the dumb questions (including this one)?"

Actually, I'm more tired of some of the dumb choices for answers. But I love this site.

Again, it's not about Wright. Falwell, Hagee, Wright....they have all said things that make people go WHAT? But there is a fine line between seeking an endorsement from one of these guys and having one of these guys as your pastor. McCain's spiritual advisor has said some starnge things too, and McCain is okay with that. He know who he is. Wright says something and Obama cast him away. It's not about the pastors, it's about wondering how Obama can say he will make a good president because he, like Bill Clinton, knows and can relate to the American people, but doesn't even know the people closest to him.

And it aint a right wing thing, I voted for Bill Clinton twice. Would vote for him again if I could. I'm not sure if I'll vote for his wife or not. But I aint voting for Obama.

I've heard the whoel Wright thing. I could care less what he said or didn't say nor his content. That wasn't my point at all. Wright's not running for president. My point was Obama's reaction to it. He sayys he never knew Wright felt this way, he said "What Rev. Wright said yesterday directly contradicts everything I have ever done or said in my life" he said "Whatever relationship I had with Rev Wright has changed as a result of this" and has distanced himself from it.

SO again, after 20 years if you don't know someone that close to you, how can you ever relate to us.

Let's go back to Reagan!

What made Obama a political star was his persuasuve speaking ability. His rise to the top, he could win debates, and woo audiences by speaking wisely and reaching the audience with eloquent speeches saying he can relate to the people.

He has no real policy experience and now the drawn out campaign has shown he aint much of a speaker either. Sadly the republicans can easily destroy him with his own words and associates.

You claim to be a person who can relate to the commone man, but now after being your pastor for 20 years, you show you don't really know Rev. Wright. SO if you don't know those who mean the most to you, how can you really know us? I guess you do though, all of us in the south just tern to thet dern religon and guns cuz we aint know no better!!! Or did you mean the people in those extra 8 states you created?
