CBS's Denver affiliate is reporting that four men are under arrest in connection with an alleged plot to kill Obama during his acceptance speech.

Well, it's likely the other 4,573 nutjobs who want to assassinate him won't admit it the first time they are asked.

If Obama's elected, he's going to need a PopeMobile, and he likely should never go out in public.


It makes me ill, but the man's going to have a target painted on his head for too many miscreant Americans who are a disgrace to the word.

I know you are right, but I try not to think about it -- which doesn't make it any less of a reality. I have enough bad stuff in my daily life that I really try to limit thinking about things that make me even more sad. I keep the blinders on so I can get through my day with a minimum of tears. Because the thought of some despicable excuse for a human being assassinating Obama really does make me cry.

I am keeping my rose colored glasses on and thinking about Obama's Inauguration Day in January. :) No blood shed.

Oh no kidding. One look at those pictures and I was like "Ohhh man, Hollywood couldn't have typecasted these guys better!"

What's your Obama tax cut?


(no need to post answers, don't want to out everyone's income :) )

innerSpaceman 08-27-2008 08:13 PM

Well, i'm not impressed with my tax cut. But, yeah, i'm single, and no longer have dependent kids. And, on paper, my income is more than ok.

I guess I could buy an A.P. with it, though, and still have enough left for a nice Jazz Kitchen dinner.

Not enough that it would effect my choice in president (though admittedly I care so little about taxes that I have little idea how much I paid last year and have never made any attempt to minimize what I pay preferring to just stick with a basic 1040 as reward).

But without going into details, if this were to come true (and presidential tax promises generally have little chance of becoming reality seeing as they don't have any direct ability to set tax policy) it would be less than one household paycheck.

Tax policy is huge with me. It's one of my two major issues.

However, I remember vividly Bill Clinton and his promise of a middle class tax cut. Something tells me it isn't going to happen.

Also, tax policy to me goes far beyond what I will get.

wendybeth 08-27-2008 09:26 PM

My tax cut would be fairly significant. I'm good with that.:D
