Thats a smart kid. It has to be staged though or that reporter is a real asshole. Since when do unbias reporters act in that manner.Last edited by notoldschool; 02-28-2008, 08:03 AM.No doubt one may quote history to support any cause, as the devil quotes scripture.

There is really no such thing as an unbiased reporter, they all add a little
slant based on their perception.
The only way to have an unbiased reporter is for the reporter to simply hand the mic to someone and say "please tell us what you think" without asking
any questions. Not what most people today would call an interview.Comment

I was expecting a lot worse, that guy didn't do too bad of job answering the questions. The reporter was definitely a dick at first and trying to confuse/pressure him.Check Out BuyEstablishedWebsites.com To Buy and Sell Websites. Plus A Forum For Discussion.Comment

Obama campaign rep gets asked about Obama's legislative accomplishments./(bb|[^b]{2})/Comment

Don't let baddog see this, he thinks people only support Obama because he's black....especially the black people that support him......I would hate see him dispirited by something like this.sig too bigComment

Yeah it seemed like he was trying to get the kid to say he was supporting Obama because he was black...or make him look like an idiot who didn't understand the issues so therefore if he was supporting Obama it was for superficial reasons.
He picked the wrong brutha to try that trick on.sig too bigComment

People support Obama because he's charismatic. Hardly a better reason.
The American economy is in tatters right now. Charisma won't solve that. The dollar is at an all-time low. Charisma won't solve that. Budget deficits are downright scary. Charisma won't solve that./(bb|[^b]{2})/Comment

Nice attitude there.
But you're right. I went by the headline of that video, rather than doing some research on the guy. Apologies for that.
Regardless, the video actually is representative of much of the Obama hype. While Obama is undoubtedly an inspiring personality and gifted public speaker, that does not change the fact that, at present, he has relatively little experience and has not yet proven himself to be capable of taking meaningful and effective actions.
I would love to see him become president in 8 years, provided he actually manages to achieve a strong legislative record along with his inspiring words.
Right now, however, he is a risk. The economy needs a capable bureaucrat and manager, not just an inspiring leader./(bb|[^b]{2})/Comment

Actually, it cannot solve these things. It can aid in creating support for measures to attempt to solve these things, but by itself it is not enough.
The problem with the American economy, right now, is not just a lack of consumer trust. Had that been the sole problem, charisma would indeed go a long way toward solving these issues.
Sadly, however, the problem lies much deeper. What is needed is an extensive set of measures involving budget cuts, increases in consumer savings, tax adjustments, and more. This requires a person who not merely inspires people, but is able withstand the pressures of legions of advisers and lobbyists, all the while keeping a comprehensive overview of the issues at hand and setting a realistic and effective course for change.
Right now, there is no way to know how Obama will deal with this if he gets elected. Certainly, he is bound to be a big step up from Bush, but that does not mean he will be able to govern well, scrutinizing the painful details of policy while being hammered by numerous conflicting arguments even among his very closest advisers.
And remember, charisma guarantees nothing. Martin Luther King, Hugo Chavez, Ghandi, Adolf Hitler - all of them charismatic, yet obviously very different./(bb|[^b]{2})/Comment

Also, as an aside, I find Obama's assumptions regarding health care rather troubling.
He claims to offer universal health care, yet does not propose a mandate, and even goes so far as to attack Hillary Clinton for forcing those who cannot afford it to get health insurance.
The claim of universal health care suggests that he believes that health insurance being affordable will mean everyone participates in it. This is unsupported by any facts or research, and seems overwhelmingly naive and idealistic. After all, who doesn't know people who are silly enough to prefer the immediate gratification of a new PS3 or car over the long-term security of health insurance?
Fortunately, Obama isn't quite as naive, as his attack on Clinton shows. Clearly, he realizes that there are people who won't be getting health insurance.
This creates a problem, however: the uninsured.
A lack of insurance has two major results.
First, the uninsured poor are likely to forgo medical treatment until they truly have no other alternative left. By that time, however, many diseases which could have been treated fairly cheaply and efficiently will have progressed to the point where treatment is either extremely expensive or futile. (right now, this probably causes thousands of preventable deaths a year in the US)
Second, since the uninsured ill are likely to receive treatment anyway, often with no means of paying for it, they are a burden on the health care system as a whole, raising prices for those who do have insurance./(bb|[^b]{2})/Comment

Well he actually does have a mandate in his proposal. Though its just a mandate to parents with children to cover their children with insurance. He was afraid to ruffle feathers and put his neck out to go all the way and mandate everyone.
He bashes Clinton on having a mandate and having talked about imposing penalties to enforce it. Well his plan has the same mandate and he will have impose penalties to enforce it. His is just a half assed mandate and he has ZERO right to call his plan universal.XXXRewards - Karups - Boyfun - Jawked. Paying on time since 1997. Contact me at brent [at] xxxrewards.comComment

That depends on the type of insurance, actually. Co-payments, exclusion clauses, limitation clauses, and other things like that can present problems for the poor, certainly. However, these things can be limited to ensure that people will actually visit doctors when necessary./(bb|[^b]{2})/Comment
