This is exactly what happens when lifetime politicians get nominated for president. The last time I checked, McCain and Obama were applying to be the chief executive. The chief executive of a corporation is in charge of making sure his business runs efficiently and continues to turn a profit. Yet neither one of these bumbleheads has ever run a business, or had the risk of losing a personal investment by not doing a good enough job. McCain went straight into the military, then straight into politics. Obama went straight out of academia into politics (his brain stayed in academia). Both of these men are in and of the government. The last time I checked, the government was the most inefficient, worst run company in the country. The federal government makes the airline industry look like Big Oil (and, by the way, is ruining both). They take money from us every time we blink, and they produce... Failing schools, bankrupt Social Security, broken levees, $4/gallon gas, a sub-prime housing crisis, Harry Reid.... The list goes on and on.

Neither one of these chumps is up to the job if you listen to what they say. Obama is predictably liberal, and he compounds it by being both economically incompetent and morally bankrupt. He could run for president of a socialist European country with his liberal record, but they would probably notice the air whistling in one big ear and out the other. Shallow Obama followers are too busy being blinded by the halo the media has crowned him with.

McCain is worse in some ways. He should know better than to buy into the global warming myth and the "vaccines cause autism" crap. He's a war hero who could take the conservative mantle and run with it if he weren't too busy basking in the soon-to-be-gone sun of the liberal media establishment. Memo to McCain: The media will throw you overboard. Conservatives desperately want to throw you overboard. You should try to avoid being the useful idiot (Scott McClellan) of this campaign, with loyal allies hating your guts and the liberals you though were your friends laughing behind your back.

Barack Obama either wants to hurt my family, or is so economically incompetent that he can't figure out what his tax increases "on the rich" will actually do. I make roughly $36,000 per year at my full time job.  My wife makes roughly the same amount as an elementary school teacher. We just had a baby boy, who's pushing four months old. I work for a small business who's owner lands in the top income personal income bracket because of the earnings of the business. He uses the business income to fund inventory, pay for benefits, and grow the business. 

Obama wants to raise his federal income tax and additional 4% if he gets into office. Let's do the math:

Assuming my boss makes the minimum income to be considered in the top bracket ($200,000), an additional 4% added to his federal tax would amount to $8000. I gross $36,000 a year on average. Assuming I work 2000 hours a year (50 weeks X 40 hours), I make $18 per hour. There are two ways to look at this:

 

One-

$8000 at $18/hour is roughly 444 hours, or 11 weeks of my pay. In other words, the money Obama wants to take away from my employer allow my employer to pay me for 11 weeks worth of work or 22% of my working year (providing 22% of my pay, of course).

 

Two-

To make up for the additional money Obama wants to take from my employer, my employer could reduce my pay to $14 an hour instead of $18 an hour.

 

I have questions for Barack Obama: What did my wife, my little boy, or I ever do to you? Are we not working hard enough? Do you think you could possibly get my vote with your old-school, class warfare, punishment-based pandering? I may not have gone to Harvard, but I did learn plenty of common sense.
