If Obama gets in, they'll get 10 years or so of FDR programs, then they can tell all their children and grandchildren the "new Great Depression" stories and learn from experience that gov't is no savior.

A humanist and Democrat most of my adult life and got sick of how they continue to hold the poor down with government hand outs and suck up to every ethnic (that isn't white) in the name of diversity while relegating them to the "human resources" positions on the board.
