Stathis, the reason I didn't vote for Obama (and McCain either) is that they
didn't have the critical experience in their youth of working their asses
off for low pay and associating with others doing the same.  Both of those
guys they missed a critical lesson in life, one that must be learned early
and reinforced.  I don't know what the heck McCain was doing back then, but
Obama describes in his book snorting cocaine, which no one with a minimum
wage job will do, because it costs a ton of money.  Why doesn't the press
ever ask where the money came from?  Then later he was suing businesses.  I
see nothing in that formative background which would make him realize that
money is hard earned stuff, it's the lifeblood of the working class.  We
don't want government taking it from those who work hard and using it to
bail out huge businesses that are too big to fail, but are going to fail
eventually anyway.  The US constitution doesn't give the government the
authority to do that.
