I heard Obama's several sound bites on the issue, he dodged it every time. Disgusting. More disgusting are republicans that are terrified of him.

This is making the email rounds...My Democrat Friends Were Right! Much as it pains me to say this, I have to admit it – my Democrat friends were right. They told me if I voted for McCain, the nation's hope would deteriorate, and sure enough there has been a 20 point drop in the Consumer Confidence Index since the election, reaching a lower point than any time during the Bush administration. They told me if I voted for McCain, the US would become more deeply embroiled in the Middle East, and now, tens of thousands of additional troops are scheduled to be deployed into Afghanistan . My Democrat Party friends told me if I voted for McCain, the economy would get worse and sure enough unemployment is exceeding 8.8% and the new stimulus packages implemented recently have sent the stock market lower than at any time since the Islamic terrorists attacks of 9-11. They told me if I voted for McCain, we would see more "crooks" in high ranking positions in Federal government and sure enough, several recent cabinet nominees and Senate appointments revealed resumes of scandal, bribery and tax fraud. They told me if I voted for McCain, we would see more "Pork at the trough" in Federal government and sure enough, 17,500 "Pork Bills" showed up in Congress since January 2009. I was also told by my Democrat friends that if I voted for McCain, we would see more deficit spending in Washington D.C. and, sure enough, Obama has spent more in just 30 days than all other Presidents together - in the entire history of the good ol’ USA . Well, I voted for McCain in November and, my Democrat friends were right…all of their predictions have come true!
