I think Obama is the Anti-christ. Comes preaching peace and unity. Check. Charismatic and well spoken. Check. (This one is why I laughed when people claimed Bush was the anti-christ.) Mayan calendar predicts the end of the current world: Dec 21st 2012. The end of the next presidential term. Makes you think don't it.

Definetely wasn't reffering to you directly or implying you were socialist, I tend to agree with most of your posts. I was pointing more towards why I tend to diagree with Obama's views and statements. It's because of his socialized views more so then my party affiliation. I'm also not arguing whether the infastructure is better there or not, I'm indifferent to the whole debate aside from I think "vastly" is a exaggeration. I'm just saying that comparing us to China isn't the most popular thing to do because it's obviously going to anger some people. Especially those already critical of the Chinese government. EDIT: Mayan calendar predicts the end of the current world: Dec 21st 2012. The end of the next presidential term. LOL

Understood, Biz. Likewise, I agree on maybe it wasn't a wise comparison for him to make. I had heard that Mayan thing was the end of a symbolically winter season (that lasts years) for man, and it would normally be followed by a symbolic spring season (of a number of years) for man, but the Mayan calender just stops on that date rather than continuing. Interesting stuff to me as well.

Wasn't Abe Lincoln an unproven with very little experience when he was elected President? No. He had been practicing law for decades, and fought his way up from being a poor, illiterate scrabble-rock farmer to being a Senator. Abe Lincoln had more experience and wisdom in his little finger than Obama has in totality.
