Fearing more of the same

McCain/Palin say that we should fear an Obama/Biden White House.
What I fear is more of the same. For the last eight years, this country has been headed in the wrong direction.
Think of all of the catastrophic things that have happened...9-11, the second Iraq War, Katrina, the loss of jobs to outsourcing, the collapse of the economy...just to name a few.
McCain has supported Bush time and again on just about everything during the last eight years.
My Friends, I may not know what to expect from Obama/Biden, but I pretty much know how things will go under McCain/Palin. I don’t believe our country can survive four more years of the last eight years. The status quo just will not work. It is time for a change.

Your post was placing all the blame on Bush, including "the collapse of the economy" which is directly related to the housing industry and housing regulations.

That's because that has been totally debunked.

This is the post you responded to:
" Federal Disaster Relief if for disasters of a large magnitude that states would not be able to handle. Considering the poverty of the area there is no way the states could have handled this disaster by themselves. The most positive outcome is that other states have learned from this disaster. I honestly don't know of a single state that could have handled this disaster without federal relief - do you?"

No where in that post is housing or the economy. It is about disaster relief!

When people are rely on government to help them in every aspect of their lives, they set themselves up for disappointment. Just like waiting for Obama to fix everything, big disappointment awaits

Who said anything about 'every aspect of their lives'? If you can't depend on the federal government to provide disaster relief when there is a catastrophic disaster there is a real problem. But points for the nice spin since you can't answer the question!
