John Andrews’ strange, clueless ‘Coloradan of the Year’ column
If you graduate from Harvard law School, you are unstable.
If you attend 5 different small colleges before graduating, you're well grounded.
If you spend 3 years as a brilliant community organizer, become the first black President of the Harvard Law Review, create a voter registration drive that registers 150,000 new voters, spend 12 years as a Constitutional Law professor, spend 8 years as a State Senator representing a district with over 750,000 people, become chairman of the state Senate's Health and Human Services committee, spend 4 years in the United States Senate representing state of 3 million people while sponsoring 131 bills and serving on the Foreign Affairs, Environment and Public Works and Veteran's Affairs committees, you don't have any real leadership experience.
If your total resume is: beauty queen, local weather girl, 4 years on the city council and 6 years as the mayor of a town with less than 7,000 people, 20 months as the governor of a state with only 650,000 people, then you're qualified to become the country's second highest ranking executive.
If your wife is a Harvard graduate lawyer who gave up a position in a prestigious law firm to work for the betterment of her inner city community, then gave that up to raise a family, your family's values don't represent America's.
If your husband is nicknamed "First Dude", with at least one DWI conviction and no college education, who didn't register to vote until age 25 and once was a member of a group that advocated the secession of Alaska from the USA, your family is extremely admirable.
OK, much clearer now.
Quite frankly the thought of Ms. Palin sitting across the table from the likes of a Mahmoud Ahmadinejad chills me to the bone. She is NOT qualified to be Vice President let alone President. Given McCains age and health record,
Bill Clinton would undertsnad the issue in Michigan, “Its the economy stupid”. Michigan’s economic problems begin with the Democratic Michigan Governor. Over the last 6 years Governor Granholm’s “Big Government” & “Tax and Spend” polices have destroyed Michigan’s economy. Granholm and Obama are tied at the hip. Their Campaign Promises concerning Taxes are identical. Ask Michigan’s residents about taxes Granholm has proved that Obama’s Policies are wrong for America.
Contrast Michigan with Ohio. The Democratic Governor of Ohio, Ted Strickland has pursued policies to reduce the tax burden and shrink the size of Government. Governor Strickland, and the Ohio Legislature, have taken action to reduce Individual and Business Taxes.
Ohio is on the road to recovery while Michigan continues in a downward spiral.
The election isn’t about Parties - It is about Policies.

why does obama throw more money to solve problems ? a new stimulis will add huge to the deficet,why did he EARMARK $1 BILLION to his home state? why has he and others take money from freddie mac? why does his vp pick biden use money from his pac fund to pay his $50,000 amtrak transportation to and from washington? this needs to be counted as income and not some pac fund? why are they still collecting $500.00 per day while not working for there home state? these pac funds hold $100's of MILLIONS of dollars and it is not taxed as income this loophole needs to shut down ,this would raise millions in taxes,this is income just like the watress's tips are taxed ,look up your senator at www.opensecrets.org see if they have a pac fund? who gives to it and who the pac fund gives money too?
and to think biden said if a woman stands behind the president it is a step backward for women? I sure don't want this guy a heartbeat from the presidency?
ya washington is broke ,I know how to fix it? obama wants higher teacher pay HUH? well will this idea work for washington? more pay?
gee if obama gets in it will be more monney for all kinds? senate makes $500.00 per day 365 days a year and ya don't even need to be there to collect it? you can run for another job and still get the money?
wasn't it the democrats that wanted people making $100,000 get a 300 stimulis check that our grandkids will end up paying for? wonder how much of obamas plans our grandkids will end up paying?
seems THE AMERICANS know that they get more BANG FOR THE BUCK when they send money to there home state, they get more done,and twice as much in return for there money,
When people have to send money to congress they know it gets miss-spent and abused and nothing gets done, obama I dont think GETS IT ?
has obama taken a pay cut? lets ask him ,he will like it ,lets see if he will take a pay-cut ,Mikey likes it
