I don't think there's a problem for which the answer isn't "spend more money" but that's kind of what I expect from all Democrats honestly and lately a lot of Republicans as well. Of course how the government is going to get the money is never spelled out as well as how to spend it. Honestly though, Obama has been a little better about this than most people with his comments about taxes on anyone making more than 75,000 as household income. Scary but honest.

And of course with education especially, there's a lot of stuff that it's hard for me to accept that it's the federal government's job to do. He also seems unaware that some of the educational programs he favors don't deliver the clear benefits he seems to think they do. And the commentary about No Child Left Behind is laughable. But all politicians are bad about NCLB.

The page is substantial but kind of affirms how much Obama supports that I don't. I don't want to pin my hopes for change on more federal government spending, thanks.
And, if you don't agree with his policies, then I don't think you should vote for him. I do appreciate that you took the time to read his site. There really is a lot of substance there so he's not just all words. Someone pointed it out to me when I had similar concerns and I was impressed with how much detail he actually has out there. I do think it has become more expansive because all that wasn't there the first time I looked either.

Wow. The only thing likely to be worse than a douche or a turd sandwich. She is seriously crazy. Have you followed her long?

Really? Hmm, and I don't think I'm even that liberal.

I'm now determined to find some common ground with you. Maybe I'd have more luck in the Entertainment forum.
