Believe it or not, there is more to running a country than business and book balancing, as our failing PM Mr. Brown is rapidly proving with his “govern through economics” approach. Gordon Brown has years of economics experience and didn’t do too badly as Chancellor of the Exchequer, but look at how well he’s doing now, both politically and in general public opinion.

A country needs a generalist to lead it. Experienced advisors are there to provide guidance on specific areas. Surrounding himself with Clinton-era advisors is a good move by Obama.

Obama does not have the knnowledge nor the experience to run a country likes hes offering to. Believe it or not America is a giant business and Obama has no business experience, his others plans, like the plan to pull out of iiraq were clearly written for college students who dont think about what comes of a “good” idea.

Did you even test it Nick? I think you see at https://donate....contribute/main it does not even ask for the 3 digit security code. That is the 1st level of security disabled.
2. You can enter any name or address. That is the second level disabled. Try it with $1. 3. You can enter any country, AA, and it accepts it. 3rd level disabled.

It accepts it. I just donated $1 to Obama. The name I entered: Adolf Hitler, 111 Reichstag, Berlin.

Tell me Nick…how is Barack going to return this money?

The horrible horrible lies and smears!

Mark: don’t know what kind of data you got but I’m French, have lived in NY for about 15 years. I have first hand experience of both French and US healthcare.

Without the shadow of a doubt, the French system is incomparably better, both in terms of quality and price.

Anyway, I don’t even know what you people are talking about since Obama doesn’t even support universal healthcare…

“The speech is in front of a Google logo because he delivered it in Googleplex”

duh… That would be his point… Let me dumb it down for you: Obama’s speech is pure demagogic crap to seduce the audience he’s talking to. It has nothing to do with what he’s going to actually do. For that you need to check the speech he made at AIPAC…

You’re talking about Obama believers right?

Because socialist or not (I don’t care what label people slap onto a policy really), Obama IS a lier. The FACTS are there to check on: support for Bush’s 700 billion bailout, and even more inexcusable: FISA… Those are just the latest.

Obama supporters are about as brainwashed (technically more so since they actually had a brain to start) as the average McCain monkey.

You always believe everything you read? Hey I got this friend who’s inherited millions of dollars in Nigeria. Can you help? I only need a photocopy of your ID and bank information…

Whatever the issue of this presidential election, one can be sure that all American will end up supporting their President. US citizens never forget that they, as a nation, have to overcome their dissensions. They know how to join forces if they have the feeling that their country is in danger, regardless of the party they belong to. This is the best example of what democracy should be. If I, like so many, cannot resist to the “Obamania” (he is young, charismatic, and I believe that he is honest) I think that John McCain deserves our respect. Not all politicians are capable of humour and self-mockery and not all politicians can pretend to have done great things for America. His campaign has been weighed by Sarah Palin’s candidacy. Anyone would think that those responsible for republican party’s communication had opted for sabotage…..

well not necessarily run like a business, but find some way to sweeten the deal for top public servants who -execute- well. i don’t have the solution for this. i’d go into public service if it wasn’t so terribly underpaying vs. private sector.

the leanest corporations are able to maximize profits so well often b/c of their human capital. capital one does so well in the card industry b/c their people are so attentive to facts and business cases and execution in a financial industry that is shockingly not driven as much by numbers and logic is it should (more by gut than you think).

you are a douchebag sir, Last i check when i use my credit card i just don’t submit any name i want, it has to be the one on the card. So i see not reason why you are spreading this bull&#i% about fraud. The problem is that since you guys are loosing and Obama has inspired millions to donate you can’t find any other means but to spread lies. If only McCain had run a honest campaign i think many people would be having a dificult time deciding who to vote for, but McCain has actually made it easy.

Very Well Said Nwoye. I am an American and a Proud one at it, but the ignorance of people such as Mark that think that they cannot criticize America because they are so arrogant that they don’t see their faults. We as Americans must learn from our Mistakes and I see that if we were to elect McCain again then there is no hope.

In defense of Mr. Nwoye I’ll like to say there are Stupid Americans and unfortunately more than we need. The fact that you want to defend “Stupid Americans” makes you stupid by association at least that’s by McCain’s rules. So going about asking someone where they are from so you can criticize their place of living makes you even stupider because you can’t even come with a sound argument. Just because you can sound arrogant and think you are better than anybody from any other country does not make you to have better judgment than Mr. Nwoye.

I am not necessarily saying you are stupid or lack intelligence but I am being the devil’s advocate here. I’ll like to think you are a smart and intelligent person even thought not everybody that visits techcrunch is smart and intelligent. Next time I think you should try to see from a positive side of things, perhaps then you might get something out of it.

Hey Mike D. i think Mike A. did not post anything about McCain’s policy at the moment because perhaps there is nothing on his website. On the other hand on Obama website you can find that easily. Besides, by this time everyone should be informed and we all know that McCain plan is flaw when it comes to tech policies amongs other policies.

Thanks Mike A. for posting this..
