VK...you make a very very good point, but I do not look for the criticisms....I love to read and only post what I read which never makes the MSM anyway which is frustrating.

You would think the President doing things he does would be news....but as you know if you watch the news, we have "more important" things to cover and talk about other than our future, which is getting dimmer and dimmer if we dont talk about it.

I come on here and see people who are going to vote say such outlandish things and adore the wrong things...frustrates me.

Listen, I enjoy life....lots of baseball, family and apple pie but does not stop me from reading and noticing things.

Actually, I have and have said so on here that what we should concentrate on here is the media....they are a major part of the problem, and if they had done their job in 2008 we could be on here going after President McCain, which as you know did not make me happy. Having a choice of just two is also frustrating...believe me I could vote Democratic with the right leader in place....have done it in the past and would not hesitate to do in the future.

As you know well, I have been consistent with my views on Obama....my fears of 2008 have proven to be 100% true and to re elect him and not have him to have to face the voters again intensifies my fears.

I do live in this country and care about this country.

BUT you are correct.....but it just scares me to see all the folks who like lemmings just follow the party line.......thanks for the good advice,

And post some of your excellent financial posts....been told by a poster recently that he cannot learn anything on this forum...he seems to know how to get it all, but do not want to give you a big head BUT over the years I have learned quite a bit either from your links or you making me look stuff up....did not always agree but have to admit I DID change my views a few times based on your posts.

PS...on the specific thread you made your comment to me....THIS RACE issue I think is extremely important and it is looming over this country and it has to be meant face on WITH NO FEAR OF THE POLITICALLY CORRECT tag and fear of being accused of anything
