Why?

Voting for someone most of us dont like doesn't make him any less worthy to post in this thread. He's one of the few people who posts any worthwhile insight.

Maybe I can borrow some money from my parents to help cover my student loan debt though.

To follow on to this thought, there are two very recent Times articles which capture my fear of the direction our country has been heading for the last thirty years, when wealth really started being extracted from the middle class to further enrich the top earners. Both are very interesting articles and I recommend them.

Because it would annoy him and entertain me.

I think the fact that JH has stuck around, kept his cool and offered consistently well-thought out (if misguided) thoughts, says a lot of good things about him. I'm grateful he's here.

While we're piling on, my feeling is this one is the hardest of JH's assertions to defend.

I've read both JFL, have thoughts on both - particularly the latter - but too little time at the moment. Please let's try to revisit tonight/tomorrow

We should make an "OBAMA HATERS POST HERE" threat on the interwebs board

That last comment was probably uncalled for in reference to jh, but I'm in an extremely doom and gloom mood and I don't see any way a Romney presidency would be a positive for this country.

The two presidents with the largest decreases in the deficit were Obama and Clinton.
