It may surprise you how much I would support Obama if he weren't pandering to the extreme left wing of his party so often. Yes, I understand you want to force everyone to pay for your extreme green agenda. And it appears quite a few others support the notion of higher taxes to combat a hypothetical problem. I prefer to deal with real problems, like war, genocide and lifting people from the grip of a dictators nasty rule. One who invaded another country and refused to follow the ceasefire imposed on him after being booting him out of Kuwait. Saddam's killing fields are well documented, and I for one still think we did the right thing by getting rid of him. Mass graves and murder on a grand scale may take a back-seat to hypothetical GW fears for some, but count me out. In regard to Africa, corruption and dictatorial rulers who serve their selfish interests are causing far more problems than GW ever will. So, keep worrying about hypothetical fears if you choose, and forgive me for wanting to live in the real world.
