Barack Obama: Stepping up to make us PROUD?

thedogshrink @thedogshrink (1266) • United States 21 Nov 08

Originally, Obama had supported the auto bailouts and promised he'd do it in Jan if Bush doesn't. Perhaps he has rethought that position, and perhaps he was as much put off as we were by the way the Big 3 showed up in DC on...

p1kef1sh @p1kef1sh (45681) 31 Jul 08

What does the term "Lifestyle" mean to you? Is it fast cars, private jets and exotic holidays away from one of your many homes or something much quieter. Is it directly money related or something else?

How often do you find yourself in an airport ready to board an airplane? Do you fly often? Do you fly for business or pleasure or not at all? Have you ever flown in a private jet?
