He already explained that... he's ending the idiotic Bush tax cuts for the rich, he's going to work to close tax loopholes, and he's going to go through the budget and kill government programs that don't work (and I'd be willing to bet that there are a lot of those.)

It's not "universal healthcare" like you are thinking. And you can start by ending the 10 billion dollars a month spending on the War in Iraq.

...

considering Obama's background i'm sure that isn't a problem for him. for some reason i think that Chicago U, home of the late, great Milt Friedman, is pretty strict on who they let teach/lecture in its halls.

your rejoinders would be better if they were grounded in reality.

You are out of what's left of your mind if you think McCain can gain anything from a debate. It's going to be the JFK-Nixon debates all over again.

Taxing the hell out of the mega-rich and oil companies and reallocating the tens of billions spent on the "war on iraq". .

He does the "Good/Bad can't we all just get along" damn near perfectly. His point about AK's are stupid though, as assault weapons are an insignificant contribution to gun violence.

Nope, he's funding the shit out of that. Course, so was McCain.

I'm confused, can you keep your own guns in jail? Because when you've served your time, you're not a criminal anymore.

lol @ someone asking where the president gets money after 1 trillion spent on this stupid war

Well it sounds like Obama wants to continue the war just shift it to Afghanistan instead of Iraq based on this speech. So I dont know how much money that will save.

Like what? Don't tell me he's gonna go the "ear mark" route that McCain is on, there isn't much there. Even without the Iraq War, how is he gonna pay for an intensified Afghan War, universal healthcare, rebuilt military, etc.

And I'm an Obama guy in this election.

I'm glad that the libertarians chose this exact moment to educate all of us on their idealistic, unrealistic political views. Geez, could this wait until after the speech?

hey, it's better to allow them to give their (abstract) verbal lashings to keep us on our toes than actually give them power.

A McCain administration wouldn't be worrying about paying for a universal healthcare system.

He's waffled on that issue a bit, but he doesn't think the federal government should supersede all state's rights with determining drug policies.
