Um, yeah, a lot of them are just that. The ones that have been on the dole nearly for life regardless of the current economy and opportunity even though they are able to work are panhandling.
Being on assistance temporarily due to misfortune or for someone with a legitimate handicap is another thing entirely.
And Barack is the answer to your prayers on this? Yeah, like he cares one way or another. Well, maybe as long as you drive a green car or whatever.

THEN CANADA, ALRIGHT?!?!
And yes, I am convinced Obama cares a lot more about ordinary people than any of the plutocrats on the Republican side do.
In fact, give me an example of how said plutocrats have bettered the lives of ordinary people.

He’s a politician and like all politicians only interested in getting elected or re-elected. It’s not about "care" it’s about who can take the helm for four years and do the least damage and maybe, just maybe, do something for the overall good of the nation if they have a clue as to what that might be in reality.Quote:

He is the Philosophical Love-Child of Saul Alinsky and RIchard J. Daley. I sense that in his gut he does not like an individualistic and capitalistic America. Obama wants to make us Good, and they makes him dangerous and an enemy of the human race. Obama had the same psychological compulsions as Michael Dukakis of Massachusetts. Which is why we used to call him Michael the Good or the Archangel Michael.
I consider Do-Gooders among the arch enemies of mankind.

I'm a proud American, so don't ever forget that. I wouldn't trade the USA for all of western Europe, Canada, New Zealand, Australia, or anywhere else.
I criticize only because I care about my country and it's people, and the last thing I want is to see the forces of reaction and plutocracy drag us into the third world.
And have you even listened to the Republican presidential candidates, or the tea baggers? There is absolutely no concern for ordinary people and the poor; only contempt. They claim anyone who even questions class disparity are only driven by envy. So, yes, in that regard, Obama definitely cares more about people like me than the Republicans who have the rich man's scrotum in their mouths.

The country is in the state it’s in because of two things: No one really cares enough to take a meaningful interest and not enough people can agree on what’s right and what’s wrong.

Um, that’s political posturing no matter what comes out of their mouths. And to answer your question, no, I don’t normally listen to politician’s campaign speeches. I look at their voting records, what pieces of legislation they have proposed, and their moral principles to get a picture of their competence (from a conservative viewpoint). Moral principles last because most of them simply don’t have enough of them to my liking, Republicans and Democrats alike.

I can’t help but notice that you and some of your liberal cohorts tend to resort to vulgarity. As an accomplished vulgarian myself I can appreciate the creativity of it but in debate it only spells sad desperation…..

Anyhow, who’s next month’s boogeyman going to be for you all?
You had Michelle, Sarah, Herman, and Ron, to name a few, to wring your hands over now Mitt and Newt.
We could have Barack for 20 years and I’d lose less sleep (if any) over it than the mere thought of one of the above does to your kind.
