I didn't mean to imply you were close-minded; only that, based on the opinions about Barack Obama you've expressed, it seems that they are based on second hand sources, rather than the primary source, Barack Obama himself, his positions and policy statements expressed on his web site and in his Anniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12588164536314320479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8988189841430730425.post-64478395434379268212008-11-09T12:23:00.000-08:002008-11-09T12:23:00.000-08:00Small business owners and business owners would be...Small business owners and business owners would be taxed on their net income, after paying their employees and all the overhead.

That doesn't make him a saint, nor does it qualify Barack Obama to be President.<BR/><BR/>If that were true, Jimmy Carter would have been one of the greatest presidents we've ever known.<BR/><BR/>And not believing that Barack Obama is the solution to America's problems doesn't make me closed-minded.

Insofar as he serves in that office and upholds his sacred oath to uphold the constitution, I will support him as president. That is my duty as an American, to bow to the will of the electorate.

Suzanne, if you listened to Obama's acceptance speech and you had gone on his web site or read newspaper articles about his ideas and policy proposals, I fail to understand how you are so misguided about Barack Obama. He is the hope for our country. He is the change voters sought and gained in this election, by the people, for the people. <BR/><BR/>As Mary has Anniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12588164536314320479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8988189841430730425.post-27439251419080151972008-11-08T08:00:00.000-08:002008-11-08T08:00:00.000-08:00Thanks for explaining.

I think, if you look at his tax plans and budget proposal you'll see that he's not talking about increasing the welfare program. <BR/><BR/>Along the lines of what you're looking for, he's talking about mandatory community service for high school and college students.

I have other reasons that are very personal, and I'm not one to want to display them here in an open forum.<BR/><BR/>But suffice it to say, my family has fought its way through its share of troubles over the past few years, serious ones, and the fight has made us stronger.
