Yes, it really changed my mind. From now on, we will follow our Dearest Leader to the Promise Land of Common-Good-Society, in which we all have the highest spirits from each according to his ability and to each according to his need.

Long Live Comrade 0bama!

Yes We Can.

It was a great show.. and touched to the core of most Americans today who are facing our economic problems together. I think most realize that McCain is just a third term of Bush and this country can't stand more of that. This just drove that message home.

Obama in 2008 - for the future of America!

I may not make much money, but I do feel it is wrong to take from others.

They should have watched Larry King where McCain says Obama is NOT a socialist. Does this man remember what he says from day to day?

In an interview with Larry King that aired last night, John McCain admitted that he doesn't think Barack Obama is a socialist, which runs counter to most of his campaign rhetoric for the past week.

Transcript, via CNN:

KING: You don't believe Barack Obama is a socialist, do you?

MCCAIN: No. But, I do believe -- I do believe that he's been in the far left of American politics. He has stated time after time that he believes in "spreading the wealth around." He's talked about courts that would redistribute the wealth.

He has a record of voting against tax cuts and for tax increases. And I don't think there's any doubt that he would increase spending and he would, sooner or later, we would be increasing taxes. There is no doubt in my mind that that's what his record -- 94 times he voted to cut taxes -- against tax cuts and for tax increases. He voted for -- and that's what matters. Not rhetoric. To raise taxes on individuals making $42,000 a year.

KING: Concerning spreading the wealth, isn't the graduated income tax spreading the wealth? If you and I paid more so that Jimmy can get some for him, or pay for a welfare recipient, that's spreading the wealth.

MCCAIN: Well, that's spreading the wealth in the respect that we do have a graduated income tax. That's a far cry from taking from one group of Americans and giving to another. I mean, that's dramatically different.

Sen. Obama clearly has talked about for years, redistributive policies. And that's not the way we create wealth in America. That's not the way we grow our economy. That's not the way we create jobs.

I didn't watch the infomercial but I watched him on The Daily Show. It was great.

Obama/Biden by a landslide! Any Republicans left in office should go to Iraq and hold it down while the troops come home!

Oh some of you are so gullible ...'take from others' ... hell, there is tax collection isn't there ??? Wake up.
Obama is this generations JFK.

You smart asses, I swear. It was a GREAT show of pride and love for the American people which we have NOT seen for a long long long long time. We finally have someone that honestly cares and he is going to do the best he can to make it happen. So rock on Obama, you go

How is taxing the rich stealing? The rich have been stealing from the working middle class since Ronald Reagan.

My family was so touched by last night's presentation, that my 13 year old daughter was moved to tears with the hope that our country will be restored. I am so glad I cast my vote for Barack Obama!

We may make a little over $150,000 in a metro city, but that is not a lot with all the bills and a tax increase coming our way if Obama wins. He has said 250 and then it was 200, but what can you really believe at this point from a person hat just wants your vote.

A question of perspective :Obama/Biden vs. McCain/Palin, what if things were switched around? Think about it. Would the country's collective point of view be different? Could racism be the culprit?

Ponder the following: What if the Obama’s had paraded five children across the stage, including a three-month-old infant and an unwed, pregnant teenage daughter? What if John McCain was a former president of the Harvard Law Review?• What if Barack Obama finished fifth from the bottom of his graduating class?• What if McCain had only married once, and Obama was a divorcee?• What if Obama was the candidate who left his first wife after a severe disfiguring car accident, when she no longer measured up to his standards?• What if Obama had met his second wife in a bar and had a long affair while he was still married? • What if Michelle Obama was the wife who not only became addicted to painkillers but also acquired them illegally through her charitable organization?• What if Cindy McCain graduated from Harvard?• What if Obama had been a member of the Keating Five? (The Keating Five were 5 US Senators accused of corruption in 1989, igniting a major political scandal as part of the larger Savings and Loan crisis of the late 1980s and early 1990s.)• What if McCain was a charismatic, eloquent speaker?• What if Obama couldn't read from a teleprompter?• What if Obama was the one who had military experience that included discipline problems and a record of crashing seven planes?• What if Obama was the one who was known to display publicly, on many occasions, a serious anger management problem?• What if Michelle Obama's family had made their money from beer distribution?• What if the Obama’s had adopted a white child?• You could easily add to this list. If these questions reflected reality, do you really believe the election numbers would be as close as they are? This is what racism does. It covers up, rationalizes and minimizes positive qualities in one candidate and emphasizes negative qualities in another when there is a color difference.

EDUCATION BACKGROUND:• Barack Obama: Columbia University - B.A. Political Science with a Specialization in International Relations. * Harvard - Juris Doctor (J.D.) Magna Cum Laude / Joseph Biden: *University of Delaware - B.A. in History and B.A. in Political Science. *Syracuse University College of Law - Juris Doctor (J.D.) vs. • John McCain: *United States Naval Academy - Class rank: 894 of 899 / Sarah Palin: * Hawaii Pacific University - 1 semester *North Idaho College - 2 semesters - general study * University of Idaho - 2 semesters – journalism *Matanuska-Susitna College - 1 semester *University of Idaho - 3 semesters - B.A. in Journalism.

Education isn't everything, but this is about the two highest offices in the land as well as our standing in the world. You make the call.

He has said 250 and then it was 200, but what can you really believe at this point from a person hat just wants your vote.

He has said all along that it is $200,000 for a single person and $250,000 for a married people. Look it up.

I feel hope.

I JUST FEEL ITS TIME WE HAD A SMART PRESIDENT WHO ACTUALLY REMEMBERS TO PUT THE MAJORITY OF PEOPLE FIRST. McCAIN WANTS TO REWARD THE RICH AND MAKE THEM RICHER, HOW IS THAT PROGRESS WHEN PEOPLE ARE GOING THRU A FINACIAL CRISIS? THAT MAKES NO SENSE

Obama isn't going to "take" money from the rich and give to the poor. He is simply going to make the rich pay their fair share (which they don't due to tax loopholes and other deceit) and help to ease some of the burden for the middle class. He also believes and supports unions which are central to enabling working Americans to be able to take care of their families without government assistance.

my 13 year old daughter was moved to tears with the hope that our country will be restored.

Does she understand to what he is "restoring" it?

Blindness caused 8 years of disaster under Bush. Now, you learned nothing.

Was Clinton a Socialist? we had some of the largest economic growth we have ever seen, Obama's tax plan is very akin to Clinton's. In fact even John McCain's plan is progressive in that if you make more money you pay more, does this make him a socialist? the difference in there tax plans is mainly focus of the dispersion, real socialists and communists are laughing at the republican's absurd attempt to link him to socialism.

Excellent,excellent post.

There is another name for "spreading the wealth around." It is called civilization.
