As for Jay regarding Obama's spending, my point wasn't that it wasn't the guys money to spend, my point was HOLY SHIT THAT IS A LOT OF MONEY TO SPEND ON JUST A DAMN CAMPAIGN!!! Especially for the guy who has already technically won this election by a landslide. Seems like if this was an inevitable change and the wisest decision for people to make, it should not have taken over 600 million dollars.

And the Republicans are just as bad, so I'm not sure it's even relevant.

And as for the amount of spending being any kind of indication as to the candidate, I remind you - AGAIN - that Republicans historically outspend democrats (proving the inverse of what you are attempting to insinuate), and the amount of spending in presidential campaigns on these campaigns goes up every four years.

Oh come on guys. Obama has raised the most money ever of any candidate.

Years ago the Democrats bitched about how much money the Republicans raised. Now, suddenly, it's no big deal because their guy has managed to raise an absolute shit load of money. This is the same guy that said he'd sit down and talk with McCain about only accepting public financing...until money started really pouring in. Then it was suddenly ok to take campaign contributions from private donors. $150 million in one month. McCain got $40 million for his whole campaign (I think that's the right number).

Obama is not a saviour. If you're lucky, you'll get a full 4 years of policy out of him. If he's to hard left though, and I have no doubt that he is, you'll get 2 years of policy out of him before the People turn Congress over to the Republicans as a way of controlling Obama.
