11. Open Question: What are your thoughts (part 3)?
Protect Homeownership and Crack Down on Mortgage Fraud Obama will crack down on fraudulent brokers and lenders. He will also make sure homebuyers have honest and complete information about their mortgage options, and he will give a tax credit to all middle-class homeowners. * Create a Universal Mortgage Credit: Obama will create a 10 percent universal mortgage credit to provide homeowners who do not itemize tax relief. This credit will provide an average of $500 to 10 million homeowners, the majority of whom earn less than $50,000 per year. * Ensure More Accountability in the Subprime Mortgage Industry: Obama has been closely monitoring the subprime mortgage situation for years, and introduced comprehensive legislation over a year ago to fight mortgage fraud and protect consumers against abusive lending practices. Obama's STOP FRAUD Act provides the first federal definition of mortgage fraud, increases funding for federal and state law enforcement programs, creates new criminal penalties for mortgage professionals found guilty of fraud, and requires industry insiders to report suspicious activity. * Mandate Accurate Loan Disclosure: Obama will create a Homeowner Obligation Made Explicit (HOME) score, which will provide potential borrowers with a simplified, standardized borrower metric (similar to APR) for home mortgages. The HOME score will allow individuals to easily compare various mortgage products and understand the full cost of the loan. * Close Bankruptcy Loophole for Mortgage Companies: Obama will work to eliminate the provision that prevents bankruptcy courts from modifying an individual's mortgage payments. Obama believes that the subprime mortgage industry, which has engaged in dangerous and sometimes unscrupulous business practices, should not be shielded by outdated federal law. Address Predatory Credit Card Practices Obama will establish a five-star rating system so that every consumer knows the risk involved in every credit card. He also will establish a Credit Card Bill of Rights to stop credit card companies from exploiting consumers with unfair practices. * Create a Credit Card Rating System to Improve Disclosure: Obama will create a credit card rating system, modeled on five-star systems used for other consumer products, to provide consumers an easily identifiable ranking of credit cards, based on the card's features. Credit card companies will be required to display the rating on all application and contract materials, enabling consumers to quickly understand all of the major provisions of a credit card without having to rely exclusively on fine print in lengthy documents. * Establish a Credit Card Bill of Rights to Protect Consumers: Obama will create a Credit Card Bill of Rights to protect consumers. The Obama plan will: o Ban Unilateral Changes o Apply Interest Rate Increases Only to Future Debt o Prohibit Interest on Fees o Prohibit "Universal Defaults" o Require Prompt and Fair Crediting of Cardholder Payments Reform Bankruptcy Laws Obama will reform our bankruptcy laws to protect working people, ban executive bonuses for bankrupt companies, and require disclosure of all pension investments. * Cap Outlandish Interest Rates on Payday Loans and Improve Disclosure: Obama supports extending a 36 percent interest cap to all Americans. Obama will require lenders to provide clear and simplified information about loan fees, payments and penalties, which is why he'll require lenders to provide this information during the application process. * Encourage Responsible Lending Institutions to Make Small Consumer Loans: Obama will encourage banks, credit unions and Community Development Financial Institutions to provide affordable short-term and small-dollar loans and to drive unscrupulous lenders out of business. * Reform Bankruptcy Laws to Protect Families Facing a Medical Crisis: Obama will create an exemption in bankruptcy law for individuals who can prove they filed for bankruptcy because of medical expenses. This exemption will create a process that forgives the debt and lets the individuals get back on their feet. McCain supporters, this is your chance to provide any legitimate challenge to Obama's plans. Where are you? McCain supporters, this is your chance to provide any legitimate challenge to Obama's plans. Where are you?

12. Resolved Question: What are your thoughts (part 2)?
Invest in the Manufacturing Sector and Create 5 Million New Green Jobs * Invest in our Next Generation Innovators and Job Creators: Obama will create an Advanced Manufacturing Fund to identify and invest in the most compelling advanced manufacturing strategies. The Fund will have a peer-review selection and award process based on the Michigan 21st Century Jobs Fund, a state-level initiative that has awarded over $125 million to Michigan businesses with the most innovative proposals to create new products and new jobs in the state. * Double Funding for the Manufacturing Extension Partnership: The Manufacturing Extension Partnership (MEP) works with manufacturers across the country to improve efficiency, implement new technology and strengthen company growth. This highly-successful program has engaged in more than 350,000 projects across the country and in 2006 alone, helped create and protect over 50,000 jobs. But despite this success, funding for MEP has been slashed by the Bush administration. Barack Obama will double funding for the MEP so its training centers can continue to bolster the competitiveness of U.S. manufacturers. * Invest In A Clean Energy Economy And Create 5 Million New Green Jobs: Obama will invest $150 billion over 10 years to advance the next generation of biofuels and fuel infrastructure, accelerate the commercialization of plug-in hybrids, promote development of commercial scale renewable energy, invest in low emissions coal plants, and begin transition to a new digital electricity grid. The plan will also invest in America's highly-skilled manufacturing workforce and manufacturing centers to ensure that American workers have the skills and tools they need to pioneer the first wave of green technologies that will be in high demand throughout the world. * Create New Job Training Programs for Clean Technologies: The Obama plan will increase funding for federal workforce training programs and direct these programs to incorporate green technologies training, such as advanced manufacturing and weatherization training, into their efforts to help Americans find and retain stable, high-paying jobs. Obama will also create an energy-focused youth jobs program to invest in disconnected and disadvantaged youth. * Boost the Renewable Energy Sector and Create New Jobs: The Obama plan will create new federal policies, and expand existing ones, that have been proven to create new American jobs. Obama will create a federal Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS) that will require 25 percent of American electricity be derived from renewable sources by 2025, which has the potential to create hundreds of thousands of new jobs on its own. Obama will also extend the Production Tax Credit, a credit used successfully by American farmers and investors to increase renewable energy production and create new local jobs. New Jobs Through National Infrastructure Investment Barack Obama believes that it is critically important for the United States to rebuild its national transportation infrastructure – its highways, bridges, roads, ports, air, and train systems – to strengthen user safety, bolster our long-term competitiveness and ensure our economy continues to grow. * Create a National Infrastructure Reinvestment Bank: Barack Obama will address the infrastructure challenge by creating a National Infrastructure Reinvestment Bank to expand and enhance, not supplant, existing federal transportation investments. This independent entity will be directed to invest in our nation’s most challenging transportation infrastructure needs. The Bank will receive an infusion of federal money, $60 billion over 10 years, to provide financing to transportation infrastructure projects across the nation. These projects will create up to two million new direct and indirect jobs per year and stimulate approximately $35 billion per year in new economic activity. Technology, Innovation and Creating Jobs Barack Obama will increase federal support for research, technology and innovation for companies and universities so that American families can lead the world in creating new advanced jobs and products. * Invest in the Sciences: Barack Obama supports doubling federal funding for basic research and changing the posture of our federal government from being one of the most anti-science administrations in American history to one that embraces science and technology. This will foster home-grown innovation, help ensure the competitiveness of US technology-based businesses, and ensure that 21st century jobs can and will grow in America. * Make the Research and Development Tax Credit Permanent: Barack Obama wants investments in a skilled research and development workforce and technology infrastructure to be supported here in America so that American workers and communities will benefit. Obama wants to make the Research and Development tax credit permanent so that firms can rely on it when maki

We were on that cruise, automatically we had one of the short cuts work for us. And during a 7 day span we brought in $432, 000. And during most of that I was actually on a cruise ship cruising to Belize, Panama and Costa Rica so I wasn't even there watching, working, doing anything. I was just on vacation with my wife. Shawn C. I've always dreamed and wanted to become a millionaire, but I never knew how to get there. It was the illusive dream. With Jeff's Shortcuts System, that allowed me the confidence and the ability to implement the tools that he's given me to actually make that a reality to become a millionaire. Run R. In a good month, well they're pretty much all good months; I would say probably $124,000 - $130,000 is a good month. And it's been like that for a while now. It's pretty nice not to have to worry about money coming in. Linda L. In a good month I would say that Jeff's Short Cuts make me anywhere from a low of $60,000 to a high of $84,000. John A. In the first week, in the first 3 days it was out I made $4,000. And I though "man, that's pretty good for basically doing nothing." Mike M. Look at how much you can make in a single month. I must have generated over $50,000 from just one business in just one concept of Jeff's system. It's incredible to sit there and watch it just roll in and that explosion of money! And that's not all. Not only do you see it start exploding, but you see opportunity everywhere. John M. The seminar has given me a tremendous amount of tested usable information on marketing... I highly recommend Jeff's course and seminar!" Ronald T., Monrovia, MD.

16. Resolved Question: Business Question: Should I sell my products via a distributor or on my own company website?
I know some businesses can make more profit selling directly from the company site as opposed to 3rd party distributers who would take their cut, but I haved noticed more prestigious bigger companies in my particular market sell via distributors or luxury stores and just use their sites as brochures with no pricing etc( I produce several luxury home products which sell above £1000 per item) What are the advantages of this? I am competing with bigger players that dwarf my small home based business so brand image is very important. Thanks in Advance.

17. Resolved Question: How do I start a home based business?

21. Resolved Question: Can you summarize this for me, into about 2 or 3 paragraphphs? Its John McCain's position on health care.?
John McCain believes we can and must provide access to health care for every American. He has proposed a comprehensive vision for achieving that. John McCain's Vision for Health Care Reform John McCain Believes The Key To Health Care Reform Is To Restore Control To The Patients Themselves. We want a system of health care in which everyone can afford and acquire the treatment and preventative care they need. Health care should be available to all and not limited by where you work or how much you make. Making Health Insurance Innovative, Portable and Affordable John McCain Will Reform Health Care Making It Easier For Individuals And Families To Obtain Insurance. An important part of his plan is to use competition to improve the quality of health insurance with greater variety to match people's needs. John McCain Will Reform The Tax Code To Offer More Choices Beyond Employer-Based Health Insurance Coverage. While still having the option of employer-based coverage, every family will receive a direct refundable tax credit - effectively cash - of $2,500 for individuals and $5,000 for families to offset the cost of insurance. Families will be able to choose the insurance provider that suits those best and the money would be sent directly to the insurance provider. John McCain Proposes Making Insurance More Portable. Americans need insurance that follows them from job to job. They want insurance that is still there if they retire early and does not change if they take a few years off to raise the kids. A Specific Plan of Action: Ensuring Care for Higher Risk Patients John McCain Will Promote Proper Incentives. John McCain will work with Congress, the governors, and industry to make sure this approach is funded adequately and has the right incentives to reduce costs such as disease management, individual case management, and health and wellness programs. A Specific Plan of Action: Lowering Health Care Costs CHEAPER DRUGS: Lowering Drug Prices. John McCain will look to bring greater competition to our drug markets through safe re-importation of drugs and faster introduction of generic drugs. CHRONIC DISEASE: Providing Quality, Cheaper Care For Chronic Disease. Chronic conditions account for three-quarters of the nation's annual health care bill. By emphasizing prevention, early intervention, healthy habits, new treatment models, new public health infrastructure and the use of information technology, we can reduce health care costs. We should dedicate more federal research to caring and curing chronic disease. COORDINATED CARE: Promoting Coordinated Care. Coordinated care - with providers collaborating to produce the best health care - offers better outcomes at lower cost. We should pay a single bill for high-quality disease care which will make every single provider accountable and responsive to the patients' needs. GREATER ACCESS AND CONVENIENCE: Expanding Access To Health Care. Families place a high value on quickly getting simple care. Government should promote greater access through walk-in clinics in retail outlets. SMOKING: Promoting The Availability Of Smoking Cessation Programs. Most smokers would love to quit but find it hard to do so. Working with business and insurance companies to promote availability, we can improve lives and reduce chronic disease through smoking cessation programs. TORT REFORM: Passing Medical Liability Reform. We must pass medical liability reform that eliminates lawsuits directed at doctors who follow clinical guidelines and adhere to safety protocols. Every patient should have access to legal remedies in cases of bad medical practice but that should not be an invitation to endless, frivolous lawsuits. TRANSPARENCY: Bringing Transparency To Health Care Costs. We must make public more information on treatment options and doctor records, and require transparency regarding medical outcomes, quality of care, costs and prices. We must also facilitate the development of national standards for measuring and recording treatments and outcomes. Confronting the Long-Term Challenge John McCain Will Develop A Strategy For Meeting The Challenge Of A Population Needing Greater Long-Term Care. There have been a variety of state-based experiments such as Cash and Counseling or The Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE) that are pioneering approaches for delivering care to people in a home setting. Seniors are given a monthly stipend which they can use to hire workers and purchase care-related services and goods. They can get help managing their care by designating representatives, such as relatives or friends, to help make decisions. It also offers counseling and bookkeeping services to assist consumers in handling their programmatic responsibilities. 2 minutes ago - 3 days left to answer. Additional Details 1 minute ago If you don't think that this is where I should put this question. Please tell me where I should. Haha nice, thing is this isn't my homework, my home work is to provide an opinion on who has the best answer to our health care problems. Personally I agree with Obama but still need to present mccains position. So thanks for that crap answer, very helpful.

22. Voting Question: Can you find any errors in this Obama McCain side by side?
I researched every government based sight and could not find any errors. Let me know if you find an error and your facts based source. JOHN McCAIN TOP BARAK OBAMA BOTTOM Favors new drilling offshore US Yes No Will appoint judges who interpret the law not make it Yes No Served in the US Armed Forces Yes No Amount of time served in the US Senate 22 YEARS 173 DAYS Will institute a socialized national health care plan No Yes Supports abortion throughout the pregnancy No Yes Would pull troops out of Iraq immediately No Yes Supports gun ownership rights Yes No Supports homosexual marriage No Yes Proposed programs will mean a huge tax increase No Yes Voted against making English the official language No Yes Voted to give Social Security benefits to illegals No Yes CAPITAL GAINS TAX MCCAIN 0% on home sales up to $500,000 per home (couples). McCain does not propose any change in existing home sales income tax. OBAMA 28% on profit from ALL home sales. (How does this affect you? If you sell your home and make a profit, you will pay 28% of your gain on taxes. If you are heading toward retirement and would like to down-size your home or move into a retirement community, 28% of the money you make from your home will go to taxes. This proposal will adversely affect the elderly who are counting on the income from their homes as part of their retirement income.) DIVIDEND TAX MCCAIN 15% (no change) OBAMA 39.6% - (How will this affect you? If you have any money invested in stock market, IRA, mutual funds, college funds, life insurance, retirement accounts, or anything that pays or reinvests dividends, you will now be paying nearly 40% of the money earned on taxes if Obama becomes president. The experts predict that 'Higher tax rates on dividends and capital gains would crash the stock market, yet do absolutely nothing to cut the deficit.') INCOME TAX MCCAIN (no changes) Single making 30K - tax $4,500 Single making 50K - tax $12,500 Single making 75K - tax $18,750 Married making 60K- tax $9,000 Married making 75K - tax $18,750 Married making 125K - tax $31,250 OBAMA (reversion to pre-Bush tax cuts) Single making 30K - tax $8,400 Single making 50K - tax $14,000 Single making 75K - tax $23,250 Married making 60K - tax $16,800 Married making 75K - tax $21,000 Married making 125K - tax $38,750 Under Obama, your taxes could almost double! INHERITANCE TAX MCCAIN - 0% (No change, Bush repealed this tax) OBAMA Restore the inheritance tax Many families have lost businesses, farms, ranches, and homes that have been in their families for generations because they could not afford the inheritance tax. Those willing their assets to loved ones will only lose them to these taxes. NEW TAXES PROPOSED BY OBAMA New government taxes proposed on homes that are more than 2400 square feet. New gasoline taxes (as if gas weren't high enough already) New taxes on natural resources consumption (heating gas, water, electricity) New taxes on retirement accounts, and last but not least....New taxes to pay for socialized medicine so we can receive the same level of medical care as other third-world countries!!! 22 answers and still nothing....

27. Voting Question: How to cope with a family secret. ?
This is a very long and involved story so I'll try to keep it short. Recently (as in yesterday) I checked my mom's e-mail. I had innocent intentions. I just moved to college and wanted to see if she has had any communication with my dad about my money situation while I'm away. After I signed on I wanted to see if she had sent an e-mail to any of her friends about how I've been doing. The most recent e-mail I found was one that she had forwarded to her friend about a private investigator. To make a long story short, about a year ago my mom was contacted by a private investigator about a biological daughter she has that lives on the West Coast. Basically when my mom was 19 she had a daughter and gave her up for adoption. 41 years later this woman wants to get in touch with her to find out some medical history about herself. The private investigator a year later is now bugging my mom because she does not want to give up the identity of her daughter's biological father because she feels it is an invasion of his privacy. Besides the obvious fact that I am dealing with this at an obviously turbulent time in my life, having just moved away to college I have some additional serious dilemmas. 1. Do I confront my mom about this? I feel as though this is unfair because it is obviously bad enough that she had to go through this and based on e-mails I read she planned on telling my sister and me eventually. I don't know if that's true but I feel as though it's unfair to demand her to confront this at a time when she's not ready. On the other hand she has been keeping this a secret for 41 years and she cannot pretend it never happened. If she doesn't want to be a total hypocrite for instilling trust and honesty into my sister and I then she needs to confront this issue. 2. Do I tell my sister? My sister has lived her whole life thinking she is my mother's first born child so it will come as a huge shock to her. My sister is going to visit me in college soon on her way to drive back home where she will move back in with my mom. I'm worried that my sister will confront my mom with this. 3. Do I keep it to myself? This has it's obvious ups and downs. 4. Maybe I should confront my mom and tell her to tell my sister about it. What do you think? 5. I really don't know if I should keep this to myself but I feel as though I should because it was none of my business to be snooping anyways. I'm not sure what to do. I am very confused because I don't want to hurt anyone and I love my mom and have always trusted her and respected her unconditionally but this brings so many things into question. Any advice will do, I just ask that you are respectful in what you say.

Any advice will do, I just ask that you are respectful in what you say.

34. Open Question: How to get rid of a telemarketer?
How to Make a Telemarketer Go Away 1. If they want to loan you money, tell them you just filed for bankruptcy and you could sure use some money. Ask, "How long can I keep it? Do I have to ever pay it back, or is it like the other money I borrowed before my bankruptcy?" 2. If you get one of those pushy people who won\'t shut up, just listen to their sales pitch. When they try to close the sale, tell them that you\'ll need to go get your credit card. Then, just set the phone down and go do laundry, shopping or whatever. See how long that commission based scum waits for you to get your credit card. 3. If they start out with, "How are you today?" say, "Why do you want to know?" Or you can say, "I\'m so glad you asked, because no one seems to care these days and I have all these problems, my sciatica is acting up, my eyelashes are sore, my dog just died...." When they try to get back to the sales process, just continue on with telling about your problems. 4. If the person says he\'s Joe Doe from the ABC Company, ask him to spell his name, then ask him to spell the company name, then ask where it is located. Continue asking personal questions or questions about the company for as long as necessary. 5. This one works better if you are male: Telemarketer: "Hi, my name is Julie and I\'m with Dodger & Peck Services.... You: "Hang on a second." (few seconds pause) "Okay, (in a really husky voice) what are you wearing?" 6. Crying out, in well-simulated tones of pleasure and surprise, "Julie!! Is this really you? I can\'t believe it! Julie, how have you BEEN?" Hopefully, this will give Julie a few brief moments of terror as she tries to figure out where the heck she could know you from. 7. Say, "No," over and over. Be sure to vary the sound of each no, and keep an even tempo even as they\'re trying to speak. This is the most fun if you can keep going until they hang up. 8. If MCI calls trying to get you to sign up with their Family and Friends plan, reply, in as sinister a voice as you can muster, "I don\'t have any friends...would you be my friend?" 9. If they clean rugs: "Can you get blood out, you can? Well, how about goat blood or HUMAN blood - chicken blood too?" 10. Let the person go through their spiel, providing minimal but necessary feedback in the form of an occasional "Uh-huh, really, or, "That's fascinating." Finally, when they ask you to buy, ask them to marry you. They get all flustered, but just tell them you couldn't give your credit card number to someone who's a complete stranger. 11. Tell them you work for the same company they work for. Example: Telemarketer: "This is Bill from Widget & Associates." You: "Widget & Associates!! Hey I work for them too. Where are you calling from?" Telemarketer: "Uh, Dallas, Texas." You: "Great, they have a group there too? How\'s business/the weather? Too bad the company has a policy against selling to employees! Oh well, see ya." 12. Tell the Telemarketer you are busy and if they will give you their phone number you will call them back. If they say they are not allowed to give out their number, then ask them for their home number and tell them you will call them at home (this is usually the most effective method of getting rid of Telemarketers). If the person says, "Well, I don\'t really want to get a call at home," say, "Ya! Now you know how I feel." (smiling, of course...)

39. Resolved Question: Divorcee Job Hunt Need Help?
Hi there, I am a talented divorcee and I need a job. I can't afford to work for minimum wage and mathematical shortcomings are all that is keeping me from my degree (I have flunked remedial math 4 times and can't take my science courses to obtain my degree without a passing math grade) I have 167 college credits with a 3.45 gpa if you subtract the math courses from my overall GPA. I have owned my own jewelry store, been an assistant manager of a pawn shop, been a private investigator, and am the only NAIS certified adoption search specialist in the entire country. I have worked as a Karaoke DJ in bars and private parties but my karaoke gear is not working presently and I can't afford the repairs being unemployed. I have also written computer game reviews for Amiga world and Computer Gaming World magazines. I served as the president of the Abington Downs homeowners association in Madison, Alabama and was on the Architechural control Comittee. I have no resume because most of my experience is self employment. I really need to find a high paying job or entry level at about $35-40K in order to make my bills. Below is an example of what i have come up with for a resume, I think it stinks, I need help. Please offer suggestions. I can't move I live in San Diego. Leah XX Caminito St. San Diego, Ca. 92XXX 858-XXX-XXXX home 858-XXX-XXXX cell Objective: To land an entry level job at Yahoo! Near or from my home in San Diego, Ca. Summary: This is not your standard resume, and I am not your standard future employee. I would make an excellent choice in a position at Yahoo! because after years of real life experience I know it is all about the bottom line and results, and experience has taught me how to achieve this goal. My college GPA stands at about 3.45 however in addition to having a good education, at the age of 43 I have a lot of real life experience that other younger entry level candidates can’t match. Education is important, but many things can’t be taught in a book. Furthermore, as my former mother-in-law once said of me I am, “Honest to a fault”. Honesty and dependability are very important to me. I know a company like Yahoo! values these traits too. I have had a thriving web based business in the late ‘90’s focusing on the Tiger Electronics interactive toy “Furby” which promoted this toy and generated thousands of dollars in revenue on click through commissions alone. I am high energy and enjoy the spotlight. I have worked as a professional disc jockey and karaoke entertainer for 12 years, I was also a licensed private investigator and taught beading classes and jewelry craft in my own boutique in Madison, Alabama. I have been to fourteen countries both for business and pleasure. I have also been a relief worker in the Honduras. All this while raising a family of four children. These things make me a great choice for any entry level position. Most of my experience stems from self employment or volunteer work. Again, unlike your average candidate, I can’t list dates employed here or there, because being a Mom and a wife came first when I was married. I have not punched a clock since I left the US Navy in 1987. I have been working on my BA sporadically, as money permits, and also working on repairing my credit post divorce induced bankruptcy. Please do not judge me on my credit report; it is not a fair representation of my credit-worthiness. Much of the red is still pending litigation with my former spouse and as much as I wish I could pay all the joint debt we held, I can’t. I would like the opportunity to sit down and discuss a position at Yahoo! in an interview. I am sure that once Yahoo! sees that I am a fast learner, outgoing and LOVE people, Yahoo! will know I am the right choice for a position. I am hoping to earn at least 35 – 40K in my first year, but do not want to place a 40K limit upon myself… I require at least 20K and would need health benefits and retirement. I hope to hear from you soon. Sincerely, Leah XX 858-XXX-XXXX

45. Voting Question: Should I become a Tastefully Simple Consultant?
I work at my dead end job 8 out of 14 days a week, I do for the most part like my job, but it is dead end. My boss won't give me a raise "This type of job is not a place for raises or advancements" and because of my hours, 8 to 6 and don't get home until 6:30-6:45, finding a second job is impossible. I can't work midnight, I have to kids, and who is going to hire me from 7p to 10p, and work around my kids schedule. So I looked in to home based business'. (You have parties in others home, and have them sample lots of different foods.) I like Tastefully Simple for several reasons. I want to join, but I'm not sure with today's economy, and people pretty much home partied out. But I desperately need extra money and a flexible schedule. What do you all think.

48. Resolved Question: Iraq and the US public want American troops to come home, so why do Bush/McSame want 100 more years of war?
In 2007, the US public voted out the Rubberstamp Republicans that still support Bush's war now that they know it was based on lies. They want the Bush administration to bring the troops home, but Bush wants to create permanent bases in Iraq to secure the interests of his political donors in the oil business. McSame says that he wants to keep Bush's war going for another 100 years. But then, his big donors also own oil companies, so he takes a "special interest" in keeping the war going for them. Iraq has been trying to get the US to sign a paper to put and end to Bush's war and occupation of their country, but to no avail. Why do Bush and McSame want to keep their war going for another 100 years in Iraq despite the wishes of the US public, the Iraqi government and the Iraqi people?
