Link that states 90% of black people are voting for Obama?
I can just say about 90% of white people are voting for McCain and about 75% just don't care.

"Troopergate" inquiry finds Palin abused her power to get someone fired.
lol. see, Sarah Palin is... iffy in quite a few was. i was never for a woman president, for several reasons. however, i would rather have her than obama/ biden. i dont like his politics and his background is definitely less defined than palin's. but, of course, thats my opinion. no need to criticize.
lol
i'm sure more peoplle aren't voting for obama because he's black than the opposite.
At least she knows how to use it, unlike the candidate who has never passed any legislation.
you do have to sign bills aka pass legislation as president. but as vp you sit on your ass all day until there is a tie in the senate then the vp is a tie breaker. other than that, your basically a figurehead that goes wherever to talk to people, visits other countries, etc. nothing official.
abe is completely right
president has final veto power on anything congress passes
in addition
president has full and complete control of the entire military that he can seize at any time
the war in iraq? didn't require a vote from the senate, bush just did that as not to look bad, he could have usurped the senate and instantly declared war himself
remember the old view of the branches we all learned in school
Legislative makes the law
Judicial interprets the law
Executive ENFORCES the law
The President does not seize control of the military, he has control of the military and can utilize it. He is the commander of the military. The President wins control of the military by winning the Presidential election.
The President can not declare war, it is not within his powers. As NoEffex pointed out, he can send our troops places, including invading other countries, for up to 60 days. However, he can not declare war. Only congress can declare war.
The President does not pass legislation. He signs (or doesn't) legislative bills that have been passed by congress into law or he vetos them and they go back to congress. If this happens congress can pass them into law without the approval of the president but this requires greater than a majority vote (2/3's I believe). There is more to this.
As for the V.P.'s job, according to Palin, she is of the opinion that the V.P.'s job is what Cheney believes it is. This makes her one of very few people who believe this.
Guys, try to stay on topic. I have not seen one direct mention to Obama or McCain this entire page.
We have another thread specifically for discussion of general politics. This thread is for the election.
Well the president can take the Korea route and call it "police action" rather than war.

Some kid in my class enlightened me that Fox News is the most reliable news channel to date.
heh.
similarly, since its launch, the hubble space telescope has never not been a telescope in space... reliability!
I really hate people.
"Obama is muslim, that makes himself a terrorist!"
lmao.
and
"Go to Russia! WHOO!"
And loads of those lulxy phrazes, Yes. Those are very very stupid people.
Stupid, but it's a throwback to the idiots of the segregation time period in the US. It's scary people like that still walk the earth.
really... i dont know if your joking with that video. but seriously just the fact that you posted this shows me that you (obama supporters) need to go after the vp... which isnt even going for the position that matter's in this thread. get back on topic! seriously i thought that moderators should control this... i guess not :down:
ok so i asked this about 10 pages ago. i just got a new computer so now im back.
please! please! give me a serious answer(this time)! because no one did.Not even Freeplay. How is Obama change? please enlighten me.
i like when people threaten to move to canada because of elections. they never ever do it. then again, i might end up in canada no matter who wins so whatever
i would totally vote democrat if they stopped being socialist, and went back to the principals that greats like FDR and JFK ran on
Because McCain is a war monger and his next in line is a moron. So when he drops dead in six months, I don't want the reigns of the country handed over to a book burner.
I could go on for about two more hours typing, but I'm not. I don't care to talk politics with whoever you are and I'm going to leave it at that. (I've voted in the last three Presidential elections to show you my age.)
