in spite of that I can't vote, I give my vote for obama (i just read that he has an interesting wife, she did some things that I did too). this because I believe he does not intend to weaken the weakest people. It's false to weaken the weakest people. one should strengthen them, give them a perspective. weaken is what bush wanted to do.
for example health care
Twenty-five percent of the uninsured in Houston are children with no access to health care...
Harris County alone has
more than 31 percent uninsured...data

It wouldn't be a contest if the world could vote, would it?
The world would vote for a candidate who has the idealism that Americans have traditionally wanted in their leaders.
You think?

when a family member was in houston tx in the early seventies the dollar was worth something. Now, the dollar is weak and parts of the US are in a state of decline.
Since Europe and other countries share some same values it would be nice to see a strong and peaceable US. A government that is there for more people, not only for 'the richest of the rich' as Bush said. There was another time when rich people funded whole Universities and other things. They took their responsibility in paying back their money to progress their society.

no doubt in my mind that we're in a really bad recession.
gas her is $4.10 a gallon and i have to drive into Austin today!
trying to find another job and it means a commute.
we're screwed as a country right now. food has risen to unbelievable prices.i have chickens and i noticed that eggs are $3.00 a dozen now. milk is $5 a gallon. i really worry about large families. i don't know what is going to happen to us.

YES
The price of food is going to go through the roof. At least global warming and the oil thing has blown the last lot of fantasies out of the water.
