I am 45 years old, in jeperty of losing my home because of losing my job at EDS. I know whats going on. Also every since I could vote, I remember the US being in a recession doing the republic terms. I'm telling everyone we need a change. Another term with republican can detroy the very fabric of our country. I beleive you have to be for all the people not just republic or demacrat party views. I believe Obama's understands that.

OBama probubly can't pick michigan out of a map.

Sabrinasmithm, if you could spell maybe you would still have your job or have gotten another one by now that pays better. I have lost my job 3 times in the past 6 years and each time I have gotten a better paying job all on my own! No help from the government thank you. Where the hell do you think Obama is going to get all of this money to pay for these so-called programs? Michigan has been labeled the "hand-out" state for decades, now he wants to make the United States "hand-out heaven" from coast to coast! 4000 dollar tax credits for each college student, each year they are in school. Higher wages for teachers, like the ones in Detroit who don't give a crap about their students, just where their next outing paid for by taxpayers is going to be. Government paid education for anyone who wants to be a teacher. Healthcare for every American. Tax the heck out of businesses so they move out of this country. DRASTICALLY cut the military and its budget by making friends with radical dictators begging them not to terrorize us, making the most powerful nation cower at their feet. WAKE UP, this LIBERAL is going to really RUIN this country making every soldiers life from WWI who died defending it, worthless! Obama blamed GW Bush for the mess of the Detroit education system, it is not his fault, it is the dummies who are put in place RIGHT HERE IN DETROIT who are to blame! Calling Governor Granholm one of the best governors in the nation! PLEASE!!! Did he go out drinking before his speech? McCain may not be a true Republican, but he is WAY better than this inexperienced clown!

LOL, in his speech he said he was going to bring jobs back here building WINDMILLS and solar plants that generate solar energy! LOL!! OMG, how do you generate solar energy? Isn't solar energy from the sun, not generated? We get to go from the MOTOR CITY to the WINDMILL capital! Ha, Ha, Ha! This guy is a joke, why does no one see through the clouds on him? Go ahead and pull out of Iraq, bring the troops home and lay them off! Cut all of our military like Carter did so you can make the lazy more lazy waiting for their welfare checks. If he is as great of a Senator, running for the highest office in the land, why can he not shake a stick at congress so they get off their butts and do what they promised they would when YOU, not me elected them! Approval rating lower than GW Bush, this has to tell you something!

America has ALREADY voted for change! They were going show Bush in 2006! And we sure got CHANGE!

Before Democrats controlled Congress:

1) Consumer confidence stood at a 2 1/2 year high.

2) Regular unleaded gasoline was $2.19 a gallon.

3) Unemployment rate was 4.5%.

Since voting in a Democratic Congress in 2006 we have seen:

1) Consumer confidence plummet.

2) The cost of regular gasoline soar to over $4.00 a gallon.

3) Unemployment is up to 5% (a 10% increase).

4) American households have seen $2.3 trillion in equity value evaporate (stock and mutual fund losses).

5) Americans have seen their home equity drop by $1.2 trillion dollars; 1% of American homes are now in foreclosure.

6) Oil was 63 dollars a barrel the day before the newest congress convened. It closed last Friday at 126 dollars a barrel. That is doubled for those with fuzzy math.

7) Economic Growth for the 4th quarter of 2006 in GDP was 3.5 percent.

8)1st Quarter 2008 0.6 percent.


Remember it's Congress that makes laws, not the President. The President has to work with what is handed to the Administration.

Thanks realism, You know so many people are wearing blinders, very quick to blame the president and not the state and local governments! State governors are in more control of state economies than any president is or has been! Obama is the one who wants to continue the local struggles of common folks! God help us if he gets elected! For instance, there are 9 different companies building a speciality vehicle for the military. Now, add the hundreds of smaller sub-contracted corporations contributing to each vehicle and there are thousands of jobe. Now, take the military out of Iraq and you would not need this enterprise and lay off those thousands of workers and deny re-enlistment of all soldiers and put them on the street. What have you got? OBAMA-GATE! lesser of two evils...McMain in 08!

Come on I am sure Obamabackass will blow us all away just like Granmole!

To hell with Obama.

A month ago he was fighting to make sure Michigan's votes didn't count in the primary.

Now that Hillery has backed off he all the sudden cares about us.
