That’s a mighty low opinion you have of people, many willing to work hard. So we should just let our elite wealthy like Trump or corporations decide what a man’s labor is worth. I never thought someone willing to work was a dependent class.

How many illegal aliens do you employ? After all corporations and CEO’s are hurting so bad they had to locate offshore.
I don’t agree with Obama on many things but corporations are not leaving because of a strong middle class, but more opportunity to exploit a greater number of poor. It’s a real shame our corporations are doing so badly they had to move to China and use slave labor cutting costs sending poisons to our kids.
I’m curious, where do you set the level for jobs you consider the dependent class?
You’re not for real are you?

The socialist programs over the last 80 years are destroying America. Only a return to founding principles can save the liberty that we so cherished for 150 years.

Obama didn't vote on the Iraq war because he was an Illinois state senator when the vote was taken He was not in the US Senate at the time. He spoke out publicly against the war at the time.

In other words, he's going to rob from the rich to give to the poor. How Socialist of him to promise that. He plans to tax his way to the prosperity of the U.S. If he thinks there are already too many businesses sending their jobs offshore now, his plan will cause even MORE to go that way.

He keeps saying he was against the Iraq war, but he didnt even vote on it, he missed the vote, if he was so against it he should have been there and voted No, he has a record of missing devise votes.

McCain or Hillery would be a better choice as our leader.

Why oh why does Bo keep bringing up this subject of outsourcing jobs? All of us are aware of this practice. What we need to see is his stock portfolio. I bet he has investments in some of those corporations that outsource jobs thus ensuring profits for stockholders.

One of the problems with Barak Obama that I see, is that his speeches are pure abstract rhetoric.

BTW, nice gesture to throw your grandmother under the bus to save your arse. Well, I suppose grandmothers are expendable. BO, or should I say Glowbama, is a typical politician who does not deserve the shielding he receives from the media.

Travis, your point IS more of the same.
If I could bore you for a minute - I grew up in a small town where everyone was basically equal. No one was rich and no one was poor to say. Every child had basically the same education. There were those kids that studied hard and those that sat around smoking dope.
Ireturned recently for a reunion, and to my amazement found that some of the kids that studied hard were boxing boxes at the grocery store, while some of the kids that smoked dope all day had made small fortunes (and some were still smoking dope).

I agree all children need a good education. but a good education is no guarantee of success in life.

Joe C wrote on March 19, 2008 11:15 AM: It’s very hard to believe Obama or congress cares about jobs and corporate greed or profits. They have helped business voting for one bad trade agreement after another besides giving Bush fact track trade approval.
Obama already gave Canada a wink and nod about NAFTA, has questionable business and campaign financier problems and now refuses to distance himself from racism using the excuse his own white grandmother made similar statements.

He is no JFK but even JFK wasn’t really the image we believe so many naïve years ago.

Personally I don’t have one candidate that I want to vote for again, and this lack of leadership and elite government attitude toward working Americans is very disappointing.
While Obama what’s to move past the racial issue we have so many other issues that politicians talk about solving and that’s it. I’m past the racial issue, I can forget what was said, but not even close to forgetting the complete failure of government in every other issue.
