Acorn can't wait for sure.Acorn lefist marxist group who got a lot of money steered to them from a former organizer for them Barack. Thirty four days before it will be okay to let a living baby die in a coat room.- Thirty four days before Barack can cause a loss in Iraq. Thirty four days before the crooks from Fan and Fred- Raines,Johnson,who are currently advisors to him will be members of his team.- Thirty four days before Barack's lunatic,racist pastor is the Congressional Chaplin.-- Thiry four days before Bill Aires an american hating terrorist,friend of Barack's will become head of Home-land security.--Thirty four days before Pelosi-Reid-Rangel-Barney Frank-Chris Dodd retain their control of the corrupt house they have ran for two years with total control. These boob's are at 9% approval.
34 days until we the american people come under the control of a bunch of Socialist Liberal re- distribute our paychecks liberals. Thirty four days and we can all just get along.
Yes We Can- or else.

Patty its a shame you are so willing to give your life over to a socialist politician.Patty have you looked into Acorn-bill aires a man who blew up bldgs. in america-killed americans. Do you understand that Obama is a cohort of people like this. Barack is an anti-capitalist-socialist who hangs with people who have shown you they hate America.

I'm not giving my life over to anyone but thank you for your concern.

I agree with you Micky. Obama is all for those things and more. 34 days and we will be rid of him and McCain will be in office. I will be glad it will be over too

I am, unlike many of you, resigned to the fact we are getting another president who hasn't a clue. We have two candidates who are both professional pols and tax suckers. We have two candidates who differ only in degrees in not having got a clue about the economy. We have two candidates with the same degrees regarding the Constitution and foreign affairs.

Yeah 34 more days and the name will change and maybe the party but it will be the same grinding mess we have been suffering for decades. It'll be tax and spend or borrow and spend...the end result is not going to be pretty. The time left to save this republic without bloodshed is dwindling and neither of these two, especially Obama have either the ability or guts to reverse the trend.

I received my absentee ballot in the mail yesterday and will vote today!!

Unlike some others, I actually have faith that we will begin a process of change with this election. Will it be a watershed? Doubtful. Will it even be noticeable? Well, that all depends on us. If all we do is whine and then go ahead and reward the same old pandering then there is nothing our elected officials can do to change that. If on the other hand we actually smarten up and learn a few things and hold our elected officials accountable for thinking, then we have a chance.

It's up to us people, and that means all of us, not just the ones who vote for the one who gets elected, have to participate in the management of our representatives. Tell them what we want, but for crying out loud at least learn a little about the issue before simply blurting out some leftist or rightist pablum. It's time for all of us to take responsibility for our role in this representative republic. We must demand a resolution of the issue and movement forward, not a partisan power push.

Patty what do you think will change? Obama probably will win the election and nothing is going to change, Obama has signed on to corporate cronyism just like the rest of congress and they are purposely destroying the economy so their will not be any money left to make the change the public needs.

Anyone that could vote for this criminal bailout is just supporting corporate fascism and cronyism as well as socialist thinking.

But it really does not matter which one gets in it will be the same old lies and excuses. The public should be pretty well conditioned to it by now.

Jack, the first thing that will change will be that "W" won't be in office anymore. I can't tell you how happy that makes me. : )

And I'm sorry, but I can't be cynical about our country. Yeah, I'm not happy about a lot of things but that doesn't mean I'm going to throw up my hands. I still think we live in the greatest country in the world and I believe that dedicated and motivated Americans can and will work together to resolve our problems.
