That’s an awesome video. It says it all. His reasoned reaction to a stupid debate is why I like him so much. He really does understand!

Obama is broken, Not Washington!

Yes! Substance, issues, priorities. That’s what I want to hear about, not tabloid fertilizer.

We should all take this election seriously and during the campaign buildup, make our positions known on the many issues facing this country. I am a conservative and dead set against tax increases and the expansion of government. My biggest issue is with both parties having expanded the US government to where it is 43% of the annual GNP of the US! Government spending growth is 8X the growth of the economy. The billions of defense spending is only about 5% of the federal budget. Social spending is out of control. Thanks for the soapbox. I encourage you to read information detail of both conservative and liberal sources to understand where your tax dollars go. Here’s one that makes it very clear what is happening. Yes this is another legacy you are leaving your grandchildren….

Not both parties – falsely spreading blame is letting the GOP off the hook without accountability. Bill Clinton left office with a huge budget surplus (after inheriting a huge deficit in ‘92 that had inspired Ross Perot to run for president) and fewer federal government employees than when he took office. Yet from 2000-2006, the country was a one party state dominated by the GOP, during which time it presided over a massive increase in the size of government and government spending. In return, we got such government efficiency as FEMA’s disastrous response to Katrina.
If you’re opposed to the expansion of government and tax increases you should vote for Obama, who proposes a tax cut to those making less than $250K a year (a far better proposal than McCain’s), and to reign in runaway federal spending.
