    DESPARATION

    OBAMA is drawing straws out of desaration for additional votes in a race he will not win. If the American public doesn't see throught his false rhetoric, they'll deserve what they get, and regret it later. This man has no recorded acccomplishments because he hasn't done anything.Why would someone of this stature be nominated as a presidental candidate? The blind follow the blind, and both will fall into the water. Did the American voter know of OBAMA's plight to poverty stricken 3rd world countries financed by the middle class? Of course not, he has hidden this from view since the financing of this nearly passed bill by OBAMA has passed the HOUSE awaiting approval from the Senate. What the tax payer doesn't know is that if this does pass and becomes a bill, a family of 3 will be taxed $2,000.00 per person for a total of $6,000.00 for the upgrade of 3rd World country, poverty stricken,welfare recipients. WAKE UP, AMERICA! Do you really want this man leading you into a recession? Chipsan2
