To me, he is what he always was. A funny guy who had a lot of ideas that would never make it through.

Would I vote for him?

I wasn't planning to vote for anyone honestly. I plan to go in, vote and leave the ballot blank.

Before everything about him was found out, I was kinda hoping he'd win because if anything it would put a final nail into the coffin of the "Black man can't be president" argument.

Some of it still sticking around because Obama is half white, and because Obama was a democrat running essentially running against 8 years of bush.

Had the Republicans nominated and elected a black president? Race pretty much would of been ruled out as a barrier for president for good.  Which sadly might be the most positive outcome of any of the candidates in the running.  (Plus he probably wouldn't sexually harass anyone as president with all the media focus right?  That's another plus!)

Outside that, I don't think it matters who is president. I think at best we're headed into 10 years of "Eurostasis" and at worst an outright depression thanks to the collapse of Europe.

We've had too many attempts at short term "election" stimulus focusing on throwing an economic "Sale" rather then attempts to create actual demand and value.

What is your opinion on the payroll tax holiday? I suppose its futile by its own nature, because you're not going to hire people if you know they're going to immediately become more expensive to pay for.
