And yeah, it will be interesting to see if every criticism levied against the future prez will be considered having racial overtones...unfortunately, there are plenty of posts here and in other forums that contained very idiotic remarks that cannot be construed as anything but racist...

I'm not worried about the war. It costs less than what we blow off so even if we stopped the war today and ASSUMING that it doesn't come to bite us back in the butt, it still will not fix the deficit. You cannot fix the deficit, you cannot fix the debt. Obama will NOT be able to fix the deficit without cutting programs. He and his party cannot buy votes without programs. It is that simple. Until we stop all the govt meddling in our affairs, none of it will help. Problem is people want a fairy tale ending where the prince saves the day and they live happily ever after. So cut the programs. Which one? Well, I will tell you that since I don't have kids in schools, cut them. You will say that you have kids in schools so leave that one. But since we are both young, lets cut benefits to medicare and medicaid. However, we will have a couple of old geezers that tell us that we cannot cut those. So, since everyone has his/her sacred cow, the only way we can get it done is to find a new bunch of politicians that are willing to roll their career for the betterment of the country. You will find those people by the lake where the heard of unicorns and hodags gather.
Take that racist program out and see if anyone can say that the FUTURE generations got there because of it.
