Last to know again, Obama lower tax rates increase revenues to the Government
And we Americans would be very happy to cap income taxes at 15%, just
like the capitol gains Charlie Gibson Schooled you on

LAKE FOREST, Calif. — When John McCain and Barack Obama appear on the same stage today, they will vividly demonstrate the reach that has made the Rev. Rick Warren among the most significant evangelists of his generation.
He's a megastar who leads the nation's fourth-largest church and reaches thousands of ministers through the Internet and crusades against poverty and AIDS. That globe-trotting work and his successful book — "The Purpose-Driven Life: What on Earth Am I Here For?" — puts him at the vanguard of a movement that inspires young, socially conscious Christians.
But his willingness to soft-pedal political issues once central to U.S. evangelicals, such as opposition to abortion, has opened him to criticism that he has strayed from his calling to spread the Gospel.
Today's forum also is a sign of religion's importance in the 2008 presidential campaign, and the emergence of a new style of evangelical leadership on the national stage that is not tied to a single party and has broadened its social agenda beyond that of the religious right.
"This is absolutely a changing of the guard, and it suggests that the new guard of the evangelical movement is able to generate the attention and focus of both parties," said D. Michael Lindsay, a sociologist at Rice University and author of "Faith in the Halls of Power: How Evangelicals Joined the American Elite."
Warren personally invited the two candidates — "friends of mine" — via their cellphones. His event at the Saddleback Church will be broadcast live on CNN and Fox News Channel and streamed on the Web. It has among its aims "helping the church regain credibility and encouraging our society to return to civility," he said.

You know when you get an e-mail at work and it is from someone who is trying to convince you that they are working and know what they are talking about by using too many words and flowery language, but you know they are blowing smoke? That’s what Obama reminds me of tonight.
We see evil in Darfur..
I’ve noticed the hair change lately, too. Trying to be the ‘elder’ statesman?
Right - a friend who runs a hair salon pointed out Obama’s fake gray to me months ago. He’s been dying his hair gray for months now - more photos will bear this out.
"You're not old, Father 'Bama," the young man said
"But your hair has become almost white
"And yet you incessantly stand on your head
"Do you think at your age this is right?"
"In my yute," Father 'Bama replied to the yute
"I feared it might injure the brain
"But now that I'm perfectly sure I have none"
"Why, I do it again and again"

check out the Obama-K choral thread on here...Can you pst it here..it is hilarious and true!
He must be going back and forth because last week, it wasn’t gray. Where is that photo of him boarding the airplane, I believe it wasn’t gray in that one either.
SCOTUS question
Obama No to Thomas
not as strong enough legal leader
I just wanted to add your name to the winning thread for historical purposes.
Yesterday he had no grey hair, that’s the point, his makeup guy is giving him fake gravitas!
Hey Norm
LOL
I missed almost all of Obama’s presentation. On here I am reading over and over that he ‘hates’ Clarence Thomas .. is that what he said ? Rerun on now, maybe I’ll catch it
Right! He is ‘gray’ when it is needed — and lately he feels he needs it. (or his handlers feel he needs it)
