		<description>[...] Reason #5: We&#8217;re with Margaret and Helen There are so many, many reasons to vote for Barack Obama. One  is that your vote puts you in company that truly showcases the glorious diversity that is the United States of America.  When Ronald Reagan&#8217;s Chief of Staff endorses Obama&#8212;as he just did&#8211;then you know we are in the midst of something really remarkable happening in this country. Even professional athletes, a group not usually politically outspoken, is lining up for Obama.  How about Kareem Abdul Jabbar, Charles Barkley, and Michael Jordan himself? From the people on your block, down the street, across town, two towns over, to people several states over, to people who might have never voted Democrat before, this election has already changed things in this country.  All the big-name endorsements aside, what&#8217;s been most exciting to us is the infectious combination of hope and energy so evident among regular folks in the USA&#8211;folks like yours truly, hockey moms for Obama. (Wait. Did you not click on hockey moms for Obama?  Here, try again: this is the hockey moms&#8217; version of Don&#8217;t Cry for Me, Argentina Sarah Palin.) In this election, we feel exhilarated to be part of a real groundswell of change.  From young kids like the Ron Clark Academy [...] [...]</description>

		<description>Social responsibility of the government is socialism...
Social responsibility should be of the community and its people...
very simple...
clinton is not a socialist...
carter is not a socialist...
barack obama...socialist...
and maybe you are too...and that is fine...but that is not what America is...and maybe that is what really irks you...
by the way, notice how that $250K claim, which originally was $300K, he brought down to $200, and now Biden let on in his interview that they will be bringing that number down to $150K...at what point will they stop adjusting the meaning of rich? well he won&#039;t...anytime a politician says he will only raise taxes on a certain group (class warfare), he ultimately does it to the middle class...the most recent example...clinton...but at least clinton intended to use it towards the deficit...
and so while obama is already letting on that his definition of rich is creeping down to the $42K level he voted for last year, he intends to use this money to pay welfare to people who are not paying taxes and for his big government spending programs...
and while he may hide from his friends from the neighborhood who mentored him and with whom he developed and promoted his ideology (although for some reason his friends are not the issue according to the msm) he does not hide from the claims of his socialist ideology...as recently as last week on good morning america...
what gets me is even when he admits the exact things most of his followers detest, they ignore it completely...
you seem like a very caring person with a big heart...but understand that many people who make what sounds like a lot of money $200K actually are small business owners who put that money back into their business for things such as hiring employees...many times the actual small business owner (who is responsible for 70% of jobs in the US and 100% of all new jobs in the US in 2004) doesn&#039;t even make as much money as her employees, yet the small business owner is taking the risk...
so while it may sound like a lot of money to you...at the end of the day it isn&#039;t much at all...and given the fear that obama may be president everyone is holding on to their money...investors in business...in the stock market...in new business...they are all holding on to their money so small businesses can&#039;t get money...the last time a president raised taxes and enforced protectionist policies during a recession, the president&#039;s name was hoover and we went into a depression

		<description>Very true.  There&#039;s another fascinating layer, too - the fact that Republicans now are claiming GREATER social responsibility based on statistics that seem to indicate that religious conservatives give more to charity than secular liberals.  I&#039;ve had several Republicans point to this as a sign that their party is more socially concerned.  Apart from the fact that the statistics are not entirely reliable, they seem to miss the point that if our government was more concerned about people in need, there would be less need to charity in the first place - never mind that charity doesn&#039;t solve the underlying problems.</description>
