Everyone needs to sit back and think of the person they are voting for.

It's interesting that Obama camp doesn't check their donors before they accept them.

Once the issue was brought to light they returned all funds.

<<http://www.newsweek.com/id/162403>> "Obama spokesman Ben LaBolt said the campaign has no idea who the individuals are and has returned all the donations, using the credit-card numbers they gave to the campaign."

How does your post:
"Question though, exactly how is Obama going to cut taxes for 95% of the people when this country is losing money left and right? where exactly is he going to get it when all the wealthy most likely will pack up and leave this country, so their money will go with them.
Kinda hard to give people tax breaks when we're in a recession. And it won't turn around overnight, so now what will Obama do?"

Reconcile with this other one of your posts?
"Here's the point you all seem to miss. John McCain wants to provide tax cuts to ALL Americans, not just some."

Are you really saying that you believe that under Obama all the wealthy people will pack up and leave (where exactly do you think they will go?) but they will stick around if McCain wins and that recession you refer to in the first post will not effect McCain's plans to give a tax cut to everyone?

"Giving a person $7000 per child is so much better than receiving a $1000 check from Obama. I'm not a charity case and wouldn't want to be treated as one."

How is Obama giving people a $1000 check charity while being rewarded for having more children is not? Isn't McCain's plan unfair to people who cannot or have chosen not to have children?

"As far as people not having enough money, that's what family is for. That's what government assistance is for. There are so many programs out there that were started by Bush and Clinton that people don't know about. You're in trouble and can't make mortgage payments, go to FHA. There's LIHEAP. People can get assistance all over, they don't need government handouts."

Say what? How can you list a string of targeted government assistance programs people can turn to in hard times and say people don't need government handouts? What's the difference?

I'm sorry but giving everyone across the board $1000 dollars even if they didn't pay any tax is a lot different then letting people keep more of their money because they have more mouths to feed in their family, and it's a credit, your not going to get $7000 per kid.

While we're at it, let's bring up something else he's not being open and honest about.
