"I haven't cleared this with him and he may even be mad at me for saying this so close to the election, but I know what else he said to his economic advisers (during the crisis)," Clinton told the crowd at a Wednesday night rally with Obama in Florida. "He said, 'Tell me what the right thing to do is. What's the right thing for America? Don't tell me what's popular. You tell me what's right -- I'll figure out how to sell it.'" elections.foxnews.com

We’re not just a “shrieking band of paranoid holdouts,” or “50 people.” We’re 42% of Clinton voters. 28% of us will vote McCain and the remainders like myself, won’t know until Election Day. Yet we are definite in our Nobama/PUMA stance and that’s what drives the MSM bezerk. This means a big difference especially in the big three swing states, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Florida. If you have 42% of Democrats not vote for the Democrat in those states, the other party wins. IT’S THE MAP, not the math. What’s even more startling to them is this: more than 1/2 of us felt zero impact regarding the VP choices on either side. Meh, Biden, Palin. Still doesn’t change the fact the DNC stole votes to push Obama across the Primary finish.

Reagan, contributed to the the break from the overly inflationary (even stagflationary 70s), lowered marginal tax rates (from 70%), and help defeat the Soviet empire (leading to the peace dividend which Clinton benefited from). He did a lot more for the economy than Clinton ever did. Clinton had great circumstances and didn't f'it up. Which in a sense is a real achievement, many politicians do f things up, but that only goes so far in terms of him deserving praise of his actions during his terms in office.

From Sunday's Televised 'Meet the Press' Senator Obama was asked about his stance on the American Flag. Obama Explains National Anthem Stance Sun, 07 Sept. 2008 11:48:04 EST, General Bill Ginn' USAF (ret.) asked Obama to explain why he doesn't follow protocol when the National Anthem is played. The General also stated to the Senator that according to the United States Code, Title 36, Chapter 10, Sec. 171... During rendition of the national anthem when the flag is displayed, all present except those in uniform are expected to stand at attention facing the flag with the right hand over the heart. At the very least, 'Stand and Face It' Senator Obama Live on Sunday states, 'As I've said about the flag pin, I don't want to be perceived as taking sides, Obama said. 'There are a lot of people in the world to whom the American flag is a symbol of oppression. And the anthem itself conveys a war-like message. You know, the bombs bursting in air and all. It should be swapped for something less parochial and less bellicose. I like the song 'I'd Like To Teach the World To Sing.' If that were our anthem, then I might salute it. 'We should consider to reinvent our National Anthem as well as to redesign our Flag to better offer our enemies hope and love. It's my intention, if elected, to disarm America to the level of acceptance to our Middle East Brethren. If we as a Nation of warring people, should conduct ourselves as the nations of Islam, whereas peace prevails. Perhaps a state or period of mutual concord between our governments. When I become President, I will seek a pact or agreement to end hostilities between those who have been at war or in a state of enmity, and a freedom from disquieting oppressive thoughts. We as a Nation have placed upon the nations of Islam an unfair injustice. My wife disrespects the Flag for many personal reasons. Together she and I have attended several flag burning ceremonies in the past, many years ago. She has her views and I have mine'. Of course now, I have found myself about to become the President of the United States and I have put aside my hatred. I will use my power to bring CHANGE to this Nation, and offer the people a new path of hope. My wife and I look forward to becoming our Country's First Family. Indeed, CHANGE is about to overwhelm the United States of America.
