How best to support Obama, but oppose the bailout?

Poll question: How best to support Obama, but oppose the bailout?

Do you support the bailout?

The ramifications of an Obama win on November 4th far surpass the damage that we are all paying as a result of this crazy bailout. It will take years to clean up, but with Barack Obama as president, not only will we have a more secure financial market, but a healthier and saner country and planet. Simply cutting back the on $100,000 (plus) we are spending wastefully every minute in Iraq will make a big difference!

Back to supporting our candidate --- I am not happy with this rush to bailout multi-millionaires and from what small depth of understanding I can muster on this whole confusing mess, it does not sound like a fair burden to place on your average hard working Americans; and that rule applies regardless of one's political persuasion.

Throughout the primaries, I never was a "one issue" voter - I always looked at the combination of vision, temperament, ideas, and ability. On balance, I have been very enthusiastic about Barack Obama and agree with most of his positions on the issues.

On the bailout, we will just have to agree to disagree and it will not impact either may vote or effort I will (and am) putting in to get him elected. Like the saying goes...poor planning on your part (republicans) does not constitute an emergency of my part.

I would have preferred it if Obama did not join McBush in supporting the bailout, but Obama and his team are far better able and prepared to clean it up. It's just to damn bad they have deal with it at all.

1. I think Dems need to stop using the term "bail out." They have to say "we rejected the Bush bail out

and opted for a borrow out. Or uhm, some such thing? ;)

We are LENDING the monies to Wall Street and hope to turn a profit. This was NOT in the original plan. They wanted a bail out we said we wanted equity.
