Мировой кризис помог Обаме обогнать Маккейна
Демократ Барак Обама вновь обогнал своего республиканского соперникаДжона Маккейна по популярности. Такие результаты были получены по результатам опросов нескольких агентств, объединенных CNN. Рейтинг Обамы составил 47 процентов, а Маккейна - 44 процента.
Росту популярности Обамы способствовал мировой экономический кризис. Большинство американцев считают, что чернокожий сенатор сможет более эффективно бороться с финансовыми трудностями, чем его конкурент от Республиканской партии.

During this election year let's be reminded of these words: * You cannot help the poor, by destroying the rich

You cannot strengthen the weak, by weakening the strong

You cannot bring about prosperity, by discouraging thrift.

You cannot lift the wage earner up, by pulling the wage payer down

You cannot further the brotherhood of man, by inciting class hatred

You cannot build character and courage, by taking away men's initiative and independence

You cannot help men permanently, by doing for them what they could and should, do for themselves Do you recognize the author?

It was Abraham Lincoln

Very, very wise words, written years ago and we still don't get it.....

> You cannot bring about prosperity, by discouraging thrift.
Это именно то, что произошло с финансовыми рынками. Слишком долго банки раздавали кредиты тем, кто не вправе позволить себе дом - и пирамида рухнула. "Сколь верёвочка не вейся, а совьёшься ты в петлю..."

An outspoken political conservative, Rev. Boetcker is perhaps best remembered for his authorship of a pamphlet entitled The Ten Cannots; originally published in 1916, it is often misattributed to Abraham Lincoln.

Media's adoration and the leftist propensity for white guilt is what helping Obama all the way. *Let's face it ,if anyone else (a white man or woman) said the things he said, made the mistakes he made, etc. they would have NO political career by now
