I had someone ask me recently if i was an "Obamunist" like him or "Mccain in the Membrane" How ridiculous? There has been a huge response to Obama's winning the presidental election and it makes me wonder if things will really change?

I whole idea of election platforms is to get people to vote for you. It doesnt necessarily mean that you will do what you say you want to do. That being said, I dont love or hate Obama. He just is in my mind. I am curious about which of his stances will stick with and which ones he'll stash to the side.

He wants to provide the working class with this amazing tax cut. Where's that money going to come from? The numbers dont add up at all. Dont get me wrong, I'm all about saving money now, but not at the "having to pay it later" cost.

"This relief would include a $25 billion State Growth Fund to prevent state and local cuts in health, education, housing, and heating assistance or counterproductive increases in property taxes, tolls or fees. The Obama-Biden relief plan will also include $25 billion in a Jobs and Growth Fund to prevent cutbacks in road and bridge maintenance and fund school re­pair - all to save more than 1 million jobs in danger of being cut. "

Where is this stash of money that they are delving into to relieve us? The numbers just dont add up for me.

I know that everyone is probably glad that Bush will soon be gone, but honestly how much can Barak hope to change in the near future? Will he still want to implement public health care, end the war in Iraq, give us all a huge tax break, and go completely green? If so, where is all the funding coming from?

I was reading his website recently and laughed when i read this release Obama . Obama Transition Chief National Security Spokesperson Brooke Anderson - What does that even mean? Can Barak not speak for himself now? What happened to the man that did all that talking during primaries and election time? Does his throat hurt? He cant make a one paragraph statement? I mean really, he doesnt even need to actually come up with it himself. He can just READ it off cards, but instead someone else released it for him?

Grrr. I hate politics sometimes. Too many questions and not enough real answers.
