Comment Re:OK so what does Change really mean? (Score 1) 3709

Will change mean that people can have a rabid hatred of Obama as people had of Bush and still be free?

Yes. As long as you keep it civil.

Why do I have to keep it civil many people I met that were against Bush would almost foam at the mouth. I agree civil is something we should be to all people all the time but why do you have to tell me?

Well thank goodness you gave me hope about my typing skills or lack there of. Golly! my heart is all a flutter. The magnitude of your comments give us all hope that change to my poor grammar and spelling will someday rise above that to someday reach out and touch the stars and fly with the wind.

Ah so change means name calling because I ask for clear information but you keep just linking information. And this has nothing to do with McCain I asked what does change really mean. I am only dealing with Obama and I am not doing a compare and contrast.

And yes I want a chronological time line of what Obama wants to do. Those are typically called plans, guides, steps, or work flows. Something that shows progress with goals and measurable results.

I held the same standard to Bush I wanted time lines, goal setting, measurable results and many times he did not deliver. Rare times he did.

Accepting what Obama says at face value is crazy if you are going to lead have a plan, share it, explain how to get from A to B. As a builder to build a house and he can tell you all day long how to do it but without a plan it will never be built.

Ok let's just take this one

http://www.barackobama.com/issues/foreign_policy/index.php#diplomacy



Ok the problem is defined by him so we can for go that now line by line



"Talk" What is he going to talk about? How will he rally the world behind America? Sanctions? Deals? Arms reduction? Just says we have to talk.



"Israeli" How will they make a sustained push? Threats? Attacks? Money? Last time I looked people have been pushing those two to be at peace for a couple of thousand years



"Expand" Open more consulates but do we do that in countries we do not formally recognize? How about the ones that are openly hostile to America? How much will the cost in terms of real money since we will have to staff this sites and provide protection. What will the expanded foreign service mean?



"Fight" Cut poverty by half in which countries? Does this include Americans? How can we quantify half by 2015? 10,000/yr in a poor country is not a one to relationship to 10,000/yr in a prosperous country what are the guidelines?



"Strength" Rally which NATO countries? To do what? and where he wants to pull us out of Afghanistan and Iraq? Are we moving forces to other countries are the NATO commands going to have supervision over US troops? Who is going to streamline what decision-making process? Attacking? Aid? Retreating? "Seek" What type of framework? Money? Will this include trade? and if so how will bring more Asian products into the American economy affect us? How will he promote stability? Military? Money? People?



Again all that is stated is ideas of what he thinks is wrong. Where is the plan to get from A to B? Increase military spending? Taxing? More trips to other countries to buy their products? All I ask it what is he going to do and you post links and even then you say your bored of pasting links. There is nothing of substance in any of the links you have provided just talk.



I will get up each day and work to make my workplace a better place to work.

I will work toward bringing happiness to others in my area and down the hall by pushing hard for this happiness.

I will spend time everyday giving my supervisors more flexibility with assignments.



Nothing of substance just words not how I will accomplish this nothing.

Funny all of his signs say "Hope" but even the quote you provided he just states what he sees. What is the plan? How can I have hope or help anyone when he only tells me what he thinks are bad things going on? How does he plan to achieve the goal for his view of planet in peril?

How does he plan to address his view of the "worst financial crisis"?

How does he plan to help the "mothers and fathers who lie awake"?



All he has ever stated is words and more words what is his plan? What is his plan? All I know for certain he will raise taxes across the board he stated that more than one and that is nothing anyone, no matter how hard you honestly try, can say to deny it. I know someone will post they deny it and be all smug and laugh to themselves and it really does not matter.



There is no sharing of ideas just people pointing fingers. And yes people will say the same thing to me and my point will be made again and again and again.



If you say I am to help then what are the plans and what if I don't agree with them did everyone here for Obama help Bush? Why should I agree with something I do not agree with?

I think that Obama has more than enough to do in trying to fix our financial markets, slow global warming, and fix our health care system. I doubt he'll have time for some of your personal nightmares.

But isn't that what Obama ran on giving ME hope?? Why is your fears more important than mine I thought we were all the same with Obama?

Such a load of self-satisfied crap.

Many countries have peaceful government changes each X years and most countries have MUCH better individual freedom than the US where all the real power is held by money.

Having Obama will maybe not mean much that WILL change inside the USA, but it is a very welcome change of pace for every other nations.

And your post is not self-satisfied? The comment about every 4 years refers to our nothing having a government system that can have the ruling party voted out with a no confidence vote at any time.
