Would it not be better to get the things that America wants by talking or would you rather get them by war?

BTW did you serve in the arm services???

Light,

Talking is ok if it gets you somewhere, but talking to a crazy man doesn't make much sense. The reality is Obama is not going to embrace Iran. Politics is one thing, but when it comes down to it the basics of American foreign policy it will be much the same. Obama will react with force at the first opportunity to show that he is not weak. I really am more concerned with the way he will prolong a weak economy through bad policies, (punishing those who make money, higher government spending, etc.) than with our foreign policy. As long as he picks experienced advisors and listens that part will be fine.

Baron when Regan began the trickle down farce the middle class began to lose. It simply did not trickle down it stopped trickling at the wealthy. We had some good years with Clinton then Bush turned the spicket down to a trickle again. Hopefully Obama will roll back the gully washer given to the rich who did not create good paying jobs. I know you will, as a good republican blame the democratic congress but you know they were blocked every time by your party when they wanted to pass legislation. Now that the republicans are out of the way maybe thing will be done for all Americans and not just the rich.

Wait! STOP! Don't do it!!

Look, it doesn't matter if trickle down works or not (though I believe it does) playing Robin Hood with our money is a bad idea. It's Marxist, in fact, to punish those who make too much by taking it from them and give it to others who don't make as much.

The last time I saw you you were not making $250,000 a yer net. So if Obama gives you a tax break is he is taking money from the rich when he gives you that tax break??????? You are playing a shell game. First of all it was a Republican that started the progressive tax system, so republicans can stop with the blame game. Republicans say Obama will give money to those that pay no taxes at all. Give me a break that is been happening as long as I can remember under republican presidents.

The rich were given a tax break no new refinery's no new jobs just massive profits. They put the money in their pocket and we now are in a depression. It did not trickle down.
Just look at the word TRICKLE, not very encouraging if one is thirsty or the pocket book is empty.
