both man have given the bulk of their wealth to help make the world a better place for those less fortunate, not just talking the walk, but walking the walk... just smart enough to realize that direct contributions work far better than letting the gov't. spend it unwisely.... buffett said he could pay no tax, but does, not sure if that is prudent-lo...

If they think that giving the government money isn't the best idea then why would they think the tax system should charge them more ?

they did not say that I did-lo.... believe they believe the gov't. can be the conduit to change that will bring more opportunity to more and that those with the most should contribute to support opportunity... they most likely believe that most of the truly wealthy would not help those less fortunate thus it becomes the privy of gov't... just my assessment of what they believe-opinion, not fact...

Why did Obama spend $1 Million dollars and send dozens of lawyers to Hawaii to keep from showing the birth certificate??

How did he go to college on a foreign student scholarship?

The Republicans were scared of being called racists by the Dems and the liberal media. They were/are spineless and scared of the media fallout if they pushed for the truth to be shown.

There are a few with politicians with a spine, and they are still fighting it thru the courts.

Don, What brings a man like yourself to support a man who befriended terrorists that killed Americans, attended a racist church for 20+ years that awarded terrorists for their accomplishments and preached hatred against other races and ethnic groups,voted anti gun 100% of the time,praised Marxist and Communist groups during his youth, and degraded Americans and this country in hsi books and speeches?

How does someone get to the point that they turn their back on their country, their family, and and everything this country was founded upon and vote for such a man?

While your at it explain how a "U.S. Citizen", attended college on a foreign student scholarship.

If I were to have a beer with Boorock Obama.....I'd tell him about the coal truck that turned over in Nebraska which was on its way to South Dakota to put his face on Mt.Rushmore.

hope the people do reclaim the nation, but complacency most often overules activism.... people worry about their own needs, but often disregard those of the other.... if the Gop or demos remain in control of the gov't. nothing can-will change other than names of the players, the game with the citizen as the loser will remain intact....

jess,
didn't fall down-lo... agree except that I think that we do have an obligation to one another for the good of ourselves as well as that of others, with that said not big brother acting in our behalf or the other, we do need to depend on ourselves for most things and not expect handouts, but gov't. can act to promote opportunity for all-not entitlements for some at the expense of the other...

agree for the most part, do think that somethings we cannot do ourselves such as build roads- education needs-defense of the nation- security, etc... but day to day we can take care of ourselves and others that you have mentioned with no need of big brother supervising-intervening...

not sure about the inference of charity-compulsion... my contention is that most are apathetic and will allow the other guy do what needs to be done and than ride along.... being active takes effort-sometimes risk while being complacent is a much easier road to travel, most often take the road most traveled, complacency hwy 101....

Don im tired of youre ignorant statments. Ive been reading this thread and liberalcreek makes vary accurate statments and everytime you run and hide. Sure the fact is Obama is the pesident and we have to put up with it for a while but my dogs have better morals and principals then this joke has ever had. Theres some facts for all you Obama lovers. It disgusts me how someone could degrade themselves and this fine country to vote for such a man.
