a clinton recession, two wars, and a do nothing but spend congress, (both Republicans and Dems.) are the cause....but if you think Obama is the answer, then explain why. Because he will tax us into prosperity? All that will do is send more of our companies offshore. Think about it. The rich,(including Obama), have always had the ability to send in more money to the government..Why have they not done so? Obama is just like most other Dem politicians. Even his charitable giving was bad until he started his run for the presidency. How much taxing is enough? When will congress draw a line and stop spending? Why do you think McCain did not want the original tax cuts? It was because there were no SPENDING cuts to go with it.

YOU may not realize it but the U.S. is in pretty bad shape right now. Not really. A bit of economic slowdown isn't enough to really qualify for "pretty bad shape". China and Russia wouldn't have to nuke us to destroy us at this point, they'd only have to dump our currency and Treasury Debt. Nonsense. China and Russia together, or even the whole rest of the world acting in concert to dump treasuries couldn't destroy us. And any large holder of American debt would be likely to harm themselves more than us by a massive dump of the debt, they would be depressing the value of their own asset. China (who most people list as their main concern, Russia just doesn't hold enough of the debt) would also cause their exports to America to fall off a cliff, and they would devastate their own economy (and risk their political stability) while only harming ours.
