Careful now guys. Don't turn this into a political discussion, there's a place for that, and its not in this section of the forum.

 

Sure, we can vote out Obama, really not a bad idea. Question becomes, who are you going to put in there, that is going to be ANY different? There is so little difference between the dems, and the repubbies these days, that the two are pretty much indistinguishable from each other. The rich are getting richer, the poor are getting poorer, and the middle class is vanishing at an astounding rate. So far as I can see, most of the policies that got us to the economic meltdown in 07, are still in place, and expanding...... I really don't hold out a lot of hope for this country, so long as we continue down the road we are currently traveling. Trouble is, I don't see ANYONE that has the political will to change course.

 

whambambingo..

when I first ventured into a third world country, i was astounded by the poverty.. and then the next day we escorted some hoity toity politicians to a meeting out i town- and it was POSH like any place in say the Hamptons or Martha's Vineyard.. it is the lack of a middle class that defines a third world country.. period..
