Obama breaking Campaign finance law(s)


Recommended Posts

Okay okay it was me. I deleted the posts.

Okay, no I didn't. But I hope it was a mistake because even though Neowin is a dictatorship, I hope free speech has SOME value here. Even if the speech is viewed as unpopular.

You know who did it--

Obama,

since he said "I AM THE PRESIDENT AND THE BUCK STOPS HERE!"

(I know he didn't delete the post)

I love free speech though it would be nice to debate things like the pro's and con's of Privatizing FEMA without someone saying - NO NO NO because Romney suggested it. Or flaming at me instead of actually talking about the topic

there are some Pro's and Con's to it

Pro-

There will be accountability to the Better Business Bureau

Companies will go out seeking people to help instead of waiting on the GOV and State approval.

If they don't do a good job they don't get paid instead of what happened to Katrina where nothing happened and they still got paid for doing nothing.

There will be more than just one company looking to help people which means better service...

BUT MOST OF ALL

JOBS

plus Colleges training people for this work.

Con's

that it will no longer be under the control of the Government Agency instead - only to pay for quality services rendered

No one will get paid to sit on their bottoms while people suffer.

But you know most people won't listen to that instead shut it down because of where the idea came from instead of actually debating it.

Hahahaha!! It's Obamas fault.

But on topic, I agree with you. People only flame instead of talking about the actual problem and it's a real issue. It sucks because it means we will never get things done. I love to debate, I honestly do, and I can admit when I am wrong, but sometimes I don't even bother because the conversation will get derailed anyway.

Perhaps those who had their posts deleted can repost them?

For the sake of Neowin's neutrality, I do hope that mods are not deleting posts that challenge their political idelology.

LOL. You must be new to Neowin.

I agree. I don't mind debating but I refuse to respond to people who seem to be intent on starting a flame war.

    • (macOS) Screen zoom was broken for me in beta 1 and it's now working properly in beta 2. In terms of performance and UI design/consistency, these betas are already much better than Tahoe.
    • Less powerful than a PS5 at twice the price! I wonder if they use that for marketing? Totally DoA.
