I wish those should be his mistakes - No one noticed that he will continue and enlarge the ill conceived policies of producing and subsidizing ethanol as a substitute to gasoline from row crops - this policy gave him the votes of the corn belt From an energy balance and CO2 emission point of view producing ethanol from grains is CO2 positive and energy negative - meaning more energy is put into the process than extracted and more CO2 pollution is emitted than saved Billions upon billions of USD will be wasted on a failed technology that only benefit the grain growers and fertilizers manufacturers at a time of other alternative energy processes and technologies are far superior and actually assist us in saving on imported crude oil or improving the trade deficit. Bush was lured to approve congress measure by wrong and biased studies and congress passed into law subsidies which are unjustified but enriched farmers on our expense. This is the first electorate group gained by legislative corruption that I have identified that voted for their own pockets and not for the benefit of the country. Same way Bush tax incentive will be eliminated so should the subsidies for producing Ethanol and other transportation fuels, produced form grains and legumes. Farmers should earn an honest living from their land and not relay on government handouts for ill conceived policies based on misleading or intentional fraudulent studies

Let's remember that it was a man from this state who first carried the banner of the Republican Party to the White House, a party founded on the values of self-reliance and individual liberty and national unity. Obama last night. Let's hope he doesn't follow in Lincoln's footsteps, the man that began the surgical removal of habeas corpus from the laws of the US, that man that destroyed the United States and turned it into the federal nightmare it is today.

Re: Obama (or his speechwriter), in his victory speech 11/4, confused the Gettysburg Address He updated "Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation.... and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth" to "more than two hundred years ago...." Newsflash - the current date is no longer 1863. It's not just noise, there is real meaning in the Gettysburg Address, one of the more powerful speeches ever given.

I heard him say that, and it's absolutely true. The fact that Lincoln spoke nearly these same words means nothing -- it's the sentence that matters, and in it, Obama is saying 200+ years ago, which is right (Constitution was ratified in 1787). He's not saying when Lincoln said nearly those same words, he's saying how long it has been since our Republic was formed. If somebody says it in another century, the'll have to say "...more than THREE centuries later a government of the people, by the people, and for the people has not perished from the Earth." Don't look for trouble where there ain't none <g>
