I'll look for some more reputable sites later... but for now:

Ladies, I know it can get personal. But let political differences be political differences. There is no point in eye scratching. Lina, whatever your hopes are for this presidency, they are based on no facts (except not liking Bush) If a person can create greatness as a president, he certainly can create goodness as a regular politician. There is absolutely no goodness that came from Obamas political life to make you and billions of others belive that something great will come out of his presidency. Beyond religion there is no room for blind faith (Think communism)

Alla, so to what do you attribute all the support that he has - hypnosis?
I don't know if Obama will be a great president - no one does... but he deserves a chance.
Obama promised to reverse the ban on stem cell research - perhaps it means nothing to you... but it means the world to millions - including me.
I don't understand why so much energy is wasted on bashing Obama and those who support him. We have a new president, we all live in the same country - lets make the best of the situation.

Lina, now I understand where your earlier posts came from. You simply quoted pieces of the from the interview - verbatim. While we are all trying to express our own opinions - in our own language.
On the premise of the article - I concur. I want less goverment. Not more goverment. Such an arrangement, by the way, would also remove the power of the goverment to grant special favors, including special tax rules - be it to local polititians, donors, or companies like Walmart. Walmart is simply taking advantage of the rules rigged by the all-powerful goverment.
Less government - less rules rigging (or breaking).

This is not to say that there is no role for the goverment. But it should be a limited role. And it should promote private enterprise.
"The goverment big enough to give you anything you want is big enough to take away everything you have" -- Gerald Ford, 1975.

LINA T: Вы им НИЧЕГО не докажите. (dt) На етом форуме есть здравомыслящие люди, но они появляются редко. Просмотрите прошлие посты. Где-то так страниц 20-30 назад. Другие люди уже пытались дискутировать. Бесполезно. Те с кем ви дискутируете не поймут Вас по 3 причинам: 1. Они Вас не слушают, а выбирают только то что на их взгляд они могут оспорить. 2. Даже если они Вас и читают , то все равно НЕ ПОНИМАЮТ о чем идет речь, благдаря своей неграмотности. (md) (md) (md) (md)3. Многие ( не все, а многие. Те к которым это не относится поймут) просто невежды. Так что Вы зря связались с ними. Хотя им конечно же полезно послушать здравые коментарии, и все Ваши доводы впечетляют. Может хоть чтo-то до них дойдет. Хотя я сильно сомневаюсь. (v)

Natan, I don't remember, but I believe that I only used one quote - hence the quote marks surrounding the statement. (ch) I thought that using direct quotes, would give more credence to my argument.
