    I will take care of the easy ones first:

    1) He speaks better reading off a teleprompter
    2) He is black (actually mulatto)
    3) He has a D next to his name instead of an R

    Now please, if you will, list five ways in which Obama is any different from GWB (aside from the ones I already listed).

    Consider this a challenge.

    So much for my other post. :rolleyes:

    He apparently wants the government to have a MUCH bigger hand in the nations economy, and more specifically, specific industries.

    More specifically, specific companies.

    That's all I have for now.

    Yeah, but really this all began under Bush. Most people don't realize that Geithner (Obama's Secretary of the Treasury) helped to draft the TARP legislation with Paulson (Bush's Secretary of the Treasury) months before Obama even took office.

    Wait are we talking the Misses too?

    Cause I wouldn't mind seeing Laura Bush's nipples.

    And if Michelle Obama has nipple pics, I most certainly should be pointed in the right direct. . .

    Ok, off topic, I know.

    Obama is going to be able to operate under the radar much more easily than Pres. Bush, which is kind of a scary thing, really.

    Also Bush is a bible thumper.

    I think that thing that Obama reads is called the Qu'Ran

    I do get that. I mean everybody should've pitched a bitch when Paulson was made Secretary of the Treasury. If I recall, his history with money isn't too fucking immaculate. Ya dig?

    While TARP may not be Obama's doing, the Federal Government stepped in and made the call that one company was to file bankruptcy(Chrystler) and another was going to receiver MORE money and basically be turned over the the U.S. Government(GM)......

    That's kinda where I was headed on that one. . .

    Or he simply played the role of one, like many politicians. I think Bush's first allegience isn't to the bible or Jesus, but to his Skull & Bones brothers. It's simply convenient for a supposedly "conservative" (note I said supposedly) politician to play the role of a Christian to dupe ignorant and gullible people into getting behind them (when in reality they're getting behind the people and ramming it up their asses).

    A lot of Christians first allegience isn't to the bible or Jesus. Still Christians. ;)

    So you're saying he's Catholic? :confused:

    I'm kidding, and again, I understand what you're saying, but what's the difference?

    If Bush and his skull and bones brothers use religion as a vehicle to control and dupe the masses, isn't that the same as religion controlling and duping the masses?

    Kind of like of all sponts are spoozs and all spoozs are jakas, then by default all sponts are jakas, right?

    I could be wrong. I think I bombed that portion of the SAT, actually....:eek:

    No, I see what you're saying. Though I don't subscribe to any organized religion, I do think there are many Christians that are decent people. It's people like Bush that give Christians a bad name. But when it comes to high-ranking people, such as politicians, I think more often than not they simply use religion as a cover, to build a public image of themselves and to polarize their supporters against non-Christians, creating an us vs. them mentality that plays into the ruling elite's hands. I don't think the majority of these supposedly Christian politicians are Christian in any way other than name. I am sure a lot of them don't even believe in the religion they pretend to be a part of for political purposes only.

    Passed the Serve America Act, tripling the size of AmeriCorps. Reversed the global gag order, which prevented birth control from reaching HIV stricken corners of the world, given a $2500 tax credit for those intrested in college, passed the equal pay act overturning what was effectively a vagina tax, billions of dollars for alternative energy research.

    However, I believe your only intrest in politics is to convince people it's all a ruse. I suppose from that persective it makes sense. The policies I just laid out however, are ideologically distinct from those of the Bush administration.

    No. The system of government we have now is corrupt and controlled by lobbyists.

    But I don't believe in the shadow government, and I do think the differences, the ones I listed matter. I believe voting is important and that change can happen.

    I believe that the differences I listed are a small part of the many changes that will happen over the course of the next 3 and a half years, I do believe they're obviously different, and I believe the collective will of the voters have impacted that.

    I think the only ones who would disagree have their own agenda.

    fair enough.

    i believe change can happen and it often does. ideas and change lag behind social acceptence...but it eventually catches up.:)

    imo, you cant change the nature of the political beast. and to me, that's a ruse.
