off topic POLITICS

Decided to talk about Politics, just a coincidence there is Democratic primary in South Carolina this Saturday where I live.
Obama was in my small town again I read in the paper. Actually just a couple miles from where my house is. Even though I'm probably not going to vote for him. I do appreciate him coming to a small town like mine and he seems to come from more of an everyday common background instead of being a rich kid in a rich family. I even accidently saw him when I turned on the tv this morning on CNBC. I agree with the commentator, he is putting down corporations but he needs to understand many 10s of thousands of everyday people are employed by these corporations. Providing tax advantages or not taking them away so that these corporatins keep operations here in the US is important to me. It's easy to put down a big company but I wish the politicians wouldn't forget about all the thousands of people that may be employed here in the US by them working an everyday 8 to 5 or 8 to 6 job.
Obama may not even realize it, maybe he does, but the small town I live in is a bit colorblind. It is mostly white but we elected a black mayor and at least one woman on city council is black as well (it wasn't a consideration of mine when I voted last time what race any of the candidates were. I still don't know what everyone looks like.). The only reason I'm hearing about her and seeing her picture in the paper is because she helped invigorate the Obama campaign with the slogan or saying "Fired UP, Ready to Go"
If a democrat wins the national election, I prefer Obama over Hillary. I told someone that Hillary said she wanted to fix everything. I told him I worry about politicians that say they want to help you and fix everything. He asked "she didn't say she wanted to fix men in general did she?" I said no. However, I have no idea what she did to her husband after he got BJ's in the white house. I think the Clintons are smart but they are sneaky and not always out for our best interests. I do believe they are out for their own best interests.
Just my thoughts. Feel free to post your own ideas.
Oh if for some strange reason Obama actually gets any messages second hand. I would like to say to him and all other candidates if we get a deal worked out for illegal immigrants, we should also hammer out a deal with Mexico to extradite those accused of murder here in the US. I heard they won't send anyone back if they might be sentenced to the death penalty. That is not right or fair I believe. That is not sending someone back to be prosecuted. It's also not right to let murderers kill people here and just go to Mexico to escape the law.
ok, I'm done.
Actually I think Canada does the same thing. I remember another murderer killed someone in South Carolina and escaped to Canada. That's not right.
Got something to say?
