Obama: Fiscal Conservative

[HoleInTheVoid]

We all know that when Palin sold the governor's jet it was not sold for a profit.

We all know Palin has only reduced federal funding in Alaska, not cut it off completely overnight.

We all know that Bush has signed Kennedy's abyssmal NCLB and the Rx Drug Plan and other big $$$ Boondoggles into law.

But thankfully we have Obama now.

Obama is CHANGE.

CHANGE we can BELEIVE in.

As a tribute to that change I would like to list all of the awesome cost-cutting, earmark-slashing, program-reducing, budget-balancing legislation Obama has set forth during his xtensive tenure in the senate.

A-a-a-and...

GO!

when has ANY democrat ran as a fiscal conservative?

I would say that is the one thing we can be pretty certain WILL NOT change if Obama is elected. Government will still spend like drunken sailors, just more so.

Now, now!

I keep hearing how bad all these earmarks are from Obama's supporters as well as Obama himself.

Surely, they have as much cause for their hope as he has for making the claims to reduce earmarks.

Here's an entire thread dedicated to extolling his efforts and successes in cutting those earmrks and wasteful gov't pending.

Clinton was a fiscal conservative. He signed welfare reform and balanced his budget.

Remember they STILL called him a lefty liberal.

I'm not interested in Bill's policies.

I want to praise Obama's achievements.

i am not really an Obama supporter, but ONE thing i know for Certain, is that Democratic Presidents ARE more fiscally responsible than Republican Presidents that Borrow from foreigners and spend, spend spend....which hurts us much, much more with the dollar devaluation from it....

Care

People like you said the same thing about Clinton when he beat the pants off Daddy Bush. Maybe you aren't old enough to realize you are repeating campaign bullshit lies that get recycled every 4 years.

If you are voting for McCain after reading the news for the last 8 years, then there is nothing that will change that.

McCain could walk in your house and make angry love to your wife and you would come here and brag that for a 70 year old, he sure had an erect penis.

This isn't about generalizations of LBJ or Jimmy Carter, it's about Obama's solid record of CHANGE.

OK OK OK I get it. McCain = Bush

Now tell us all about Obama.

I agree with everything that comes out of his mouth. I know lies because I've been battling the GOP for 28 years. Obama seems to speak honestly. It is refreshing. He is a self made man, harvard educated, a constitutional scholar, he's a great speaker, the rest of the world respect him, he grew a campaign from the grass roots up, the likes no one has ever seen, he did something the GOP has never done, and that's beat a Clinton. He is as clean as a politician comes. He was a quick learner. He learned how Washington works and now is poised to be the first African American president ever.

He also doesn't seem to have the baggage Clinton had when he first won.

Now tell me about McCain.

 

[HoleInTheVoid]

Now tell me about McCain.

This may come as a shock to you but I never intended to vote for McCain.

Besides this thread isn't about your subjective "feelings" it's about Obama's solid, concrete, unimpeachable record.

With Mac calling for a "commission" to investigate an economic development because he doesn't understand it, Obama doesn't have to be fiscally conservative to beat Mac on economic issues, he just has to show he has a clue about how the banking system works.

Also, Mac keeps talking up earmark cuts as the path to balancing the budget, even though medicare, medicaid, socialist security, defense, and interest are over 3/4s of federal outlays. Sad to see what's happened to the Republican party.

 

[SwingVoter]

Obama seems to speak honestly.

Like an honest robot. He sounds like he's being programmed by David Axelrod and the bugs in the code force him to um and uh every third word.

I'm probably voting for O, but let's not get carried away in some cult of personality about his very manufactured public image.

Remember they STILL called him a lefty liberal.

Still giving Clinton Credit for something he had nothing to do with I see.

The budget was balanced by huge increases in Revenue fueled by the Tech bubble, and By a Republican Lead congress.

However feel free to keep telling lies. After all it is what you excel at Bobo.

ummm I think you bumped your head....

I can't recall Obama being the one who is campaigning on earmark reform....

I believe that is McCain/Palin and the ISSUE is Palin is a BIG FAN of the earmarks she's apparently opposed to now that she's up for VP

this is kind of like McCain using the phrase lipstick on a pig and then turning around and crying when someone else does it....

to the person who said JFK ran as a fiscally conservative dem...I wasn't born yet so I didn't know that..

 

[Care4all]

With a new President, comes all the advisors and their "think".

Electing McCain would bring the same OLD Republican advisors, which is essentially what we have had the last 8 years and as much of a Hillary supporter that I was and an Obama supporter that I was not, I am still leaning towards electing a Democratic President over electing another Republican and the baggage that comes with them, their advisors.

And personally, I don't think any of us should be supporting a group of people who let us down as much as the Republicans let us down the past 8 years.

We ARE IN a hell of mess due to them and their "think"....imho, rewarding such is irresponsible and negligent.

Republicans should not be rewarded, but punished and shown that we've had enough of the bait and switch that they pulled on to us, and MAYBE, just maybe they will get their crap together and change from the borrow and spend crowd, that they are...again in my opinion.

You can't vacuum the Oval Office until you get the key to the door.

Welcome back from your truck driving. Make a fortune?

He had nothing to do with signing those bills? Who signed them?

And then I guess Bush has nothing to do with the current state of the economy? It is all the GOP from 2000-2006 that crashed the economy?

I'll accept that, because McCain is part of the Senate.
