Obama seems a little too hot-tempered and unable to listen to criticism to be the leader of the free world - an important quality is the ability to listen and accept constructive criticism. this thread http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=105609 shows he seems to be a little quick to snap back in a childish manner..

Oh please. How about basing your opinion on a little more wider set of actions from Obama.

Could someone please explain the financial aspects of running for president in the United States ...

Isn't it true that federal tax monies is extended to these indviduals ... :roll:

and it doesn't depend on if you are rich or poor ... didn't there use to be a little check box on the tax return asking if you wanted to ear mark $1.00 to the presidental elections?

Isn't it true that this election campaign is going to run in the neighborhood of one (1) billion dollars of private and public funds? That's ten (10) one hundred million dollars ... :yep:

My, my what a pleasant way to come to work everyday knowing that someone else is paying the bills. :cool:

Of the currently announced candidates, my state's favorite son, Gov. Bill Richardson.

My dream candidate: John Trudell, a Navy vet of Lakota Sioux extraction and visionary poet/spoken word artist. I have to admire a man with a 17,000 page FBI dossier. A sample:

Raging peace,

Stone Satans spoiling for blood,

When wars are sold,

Profits are in casualties.

Spilling seeds for Fables and other realities.

I'd vote for him, and I'm a pretty squared away Democrat...it's a shame he'll never survive the primaries.

If you guys are talking about real life XP then I don't know how any, Republican at least, can consider anyone else for pres than John McCain....

I really don't.

I'd think McCain and Rudy would make a hellave team. :up:

This is the right stuff.

Quote:

Within a few months of McCain's becoming a prisoner of war, his father, Admiral Jack McCain, was appointed commander of all U.S. forces in the Pacific. The North Vietnamese, sensing a propaganda prize, offered McCain early release.
But McCain refused early release, citing the code of conduct that prisoners of war should be released in the order in which they were captured. His captors demanded he accept their offer. McCain refused, over and over again. For his repeated defiance, his communist captors savagely beat him.
Before it was over, John McCain spent 5 years as a prisoner of war, two of them in solitary confinement.

These guys just can't make it through the Republican primary, the base will eat them alive. McCain won't play ball with alot of the president's wacky ideas, which will come back to haunt him, as will his largely moderate polices, and Guliani-lets not kid ourselves, he's a Democrat who chose to play Republican so he could have a better chance at becoming mayor of New York. The real party hard liners won't put up with either of these guys, even though either of them would probably make decent presidents.:roll:

That new Fox show; I watched a few clips and it's dire. Laugh-tracked rubbish.

:yep: I suspect that it is meant to compete with the Daily Show. If so then it fails badly. I would be surprised if it lasts another few months before the plug is pulled. Fox News have been doing a great deal of re-jigging of it's personnel and programming of recent. Are it's ratings falling?

Has Ralph Nader finally given up on running as a candidate? :-?

They actively marketed it as "The Daily Show For Conservatives", translates to me as "we have no new ideas". The gags were limp, relied to much on cocky self-aware schtick.

bleh

Hey! What's wrong with Al? He's a nice Jewish boy and he's funny.

Re: Rush/Ann. Just like Faux News, It's only in your dreams or worst nightmares.
