My comment also isn't particularly following most of those already published but I just re-read this article which I'd earlier flagged for further consideration. Now I remember what caught my attention. If I hadn't had several million reasons before for not voting for "the one", I have a new one now. This waffling over the missile defense program in Europe is one of the most dangerous things this new administration can do. All we need is for Russia, Venesuala and Cuba to gang up (as they appear to be doing already) and we'll have another Bay of Pigs on our hands but with a crazier bunch than ever running the show. If we back down in the face of Russia's threats, we may as well throw in the towel and cry, "Uncle"! Some might call this "saber-rattling" but I call it looking into his (Putin's) eyes and seeing a mad man who wants his old Soviet Union back! This is a power-hungry, angry man who feels cheated out of his "Empire" and he'll go after many more countries than Georgia to get back what he thinks is his. I gathered that there may have been some foreplay going on before Russia invaded Georgia but I can't believe it was of such a magnitude as to require their completely destroying Georgia's military among many other crimes. And now the big "O" is going to give the mixed message that we're going to be cowed by Russia in this defense installation? Why am I not surprised that Obaama has two sides to his mouth--he certainly talks out of both of them on any given subject or day. For my part, the wedding should never have happened and for those out there who think the honeymoon is going to begin on January 20th--all I can say is, "Good Luck!" You're going to need it in the next four years! I know I'm getting into this discussion a little late but I have a life, too, and recently it's been somewhat hectic.

I also agree with the comments of some of the above, that we will all feel the results of Many misguided votes. Some people only listen to what they want to hear. How sad for the rest of us.

You, above all should be applauding NOT wasting our investments in our government's use of our hard earned tax dollars. Get real and stop creating rumor.

They chose to ignore it only to gain the power they so crave. I also feel someone is behind the scenes (Mr. Soros?) controlling all in order to degrade and destroy the US system. As for the auto industry. The labor unions deserve the major credit in the destruction of this once vital industry. They have made the industry uncompetitive in the global econ. and are major funders to the dems. to keep control of their power. It is all about money & power.

It has been said "actions are louder than words", And it is also true, that when good men do nothing for those who put them in office will, reap the fruits of a failed vision.

Employers are laying off workers now Mr Obama. What makes you think they will hire them if you tax them? Now a middle income tax cut - especially 1000 dollars is very little - helpful - but little to the consumer. The first stimulus package showed brief staying power. What is needed is a zero based corp tax and a capital gains cut, again zero, for at least two years.

They had better get a governor and state legislators that will give them lower taxes to pay and the federal government needs to cut the corporate tax rate and bring it down to 10%,that will create numerous construction jobs.

Russia will more than likely to install their system in Venezuela. Our problem is internal. Our country is bankrupt and is being taken over by the socialists. We are facing an economic depression with debt and unfunded liabilities nearly $50Trillion. What we and our children face is oppression and we will be made to like it! What a shame that we have squandered irresponsibly what our founding fathers and their generation sacrificed with their lives and fortunes to secure the freedom that endured some two hundred years.
