***CAUTION, this is a Marsha HOT BUTTON***
Tiina, I'm not sure why you are so in love with Obama. His campaign for president started over one year ago and we havn't heard anything yet except the word "change". Nothing on what would change other than he has already changed his view on Iraq since things are mellowing out there now. Otherwise he has offered nothing, zippo, other than suggesting we tax oil companies more as if that will do anything for the average worker. He is a puppet idiot for someone, but who? The Iraq war issue is what got him the nomination, the problem is things have dramatically changed in Iraq since the primaries began and it is no longer an issue. So what now? Change for what? Tell me what he will change for the better, what he is truly capable of changing and I might blink an eye and consider voting for him.
All you hear over there is propaganda news, you don't live here. I have a sister in law who lives in Sweden, she is so misinformed it is unbelievable. I just love hearing how her Dr. visits, let alone surgeries, are scheduled 6 months or more down the road. You think our health care is crazy. I can get anything I want medically within weeks if not days here. You can keep your overpriced, overtaxed health care. Let's see, gas is $11 a gallon in the UK right now, only $4 here, we don't need that kind of taxation here. The United States is the most productive country on the planet per person besides a couple of tiny investment countries like the Caman Islands. There is a reason for that, and it is our capitalistic structure allowing ANYONE the opportunity to get educated and succeed. You can believe all you want in a socialist environment where those that work the hardest are taxed the most to support those who do not want to work. All you have ended up with is a mediocre society, why work hard if you will not be rewarded. Stop being jealous of the opportunities we have here because we can work hard IF WE WANT TO and we get rewarded for it.
Lots of hugs,
Marsha

I agree with Marsha. I've never heard of Obama before this.
