I am planning to buy a house in the state of washington in year 2010. Since I don’t have mortgage, I take the standard deduction now and I am wondering if I can keep doing it next year and still deduct my mortgage interest payments.

What can you tell me about Obama, that would make me change my mind about voting for Hillary?
Saturday, May 23rd, 2009I find the love for Obama a little hard to explain.
It's almost like people get caught up in the celebrity of his campaign and forget to look for any substance.
I guess that's typical, though. It's a good time for Obama. Americans will mortgage their homes to buy a fancy car, owe more on their credit cards then they make in a year, not be bothered about a foreign war (honestly, do we really care?) as long as American Idol is on the flat screen.
Two self-importants yelling over each other passes for news and what used to be thorough news sources compete against Fox News and the Blog-Roll.
So I guess it shouldn't be suprising that a guy can get people to vote for him without critically listening to what he has to say.
If you consider him critically he's a huge phoney. For example, his policy positions are non-sensical lies created for political expediency.
Everyone will buy health insurance if they can afford it? Millions of people that currently can buy health insurance choose not to. It should be obvious that people don't buy every little thing that they can afford if they don't think they need it at any given time.
Driver's licenses for illegals are a needed to reduce hit-and-run accidents? Sure thing, illegals are going to hang around to give a police report as long as they have proper ID (I'm laughing as I write that one).
A speech against the Iraq war made without any intelligence information is relevant in any way to the discussion? Is this how Obama plans to make up for a total lack of experience? By guessing?
Obama has ran for president on a pop-culture platform. It's almost scary that 25% of the country can be deceived so easily. I'm confident it won't be 51%.
The best line, of course, is that he will get Hillary's votes but she won't get his.
Guess what Obama. No matter what Oprah tells you, some people still vote based on the qualifications of the person they trust the country to. Some people care about the policy proposals of the candidate. The media hasn't numbed everyone's ability to think critically against the shine of a slick marketing campaign.
Hillary is the only candidate of substance left in this race.
Obama keeps talking about decisions that were made in 2002 – the decision about whether to give Bush authorization to use the threat of war as leverage to get the inspectors back in to finish their job of looking for MWD.
But, if people recall, Bush had said publicly while he was campaigning for the presidency, "I am not into nation building."
But then, in private, he was saying he wanted to invade 8 countries, beginning with Iraq and ending up with Syria and Iran.
Everyone knows the fear that gripped this nation after 9/11. Bush had his way with all of us – I didn't fall for it because I never did trush Bush, the same way I don't now trust Obama.
But it was fear that caused the votes for that resolution, and Bush and Cheney misrepresented our national intelligence and even sent Powell to the UN to lie about the cartridges that were found in Iraq.
Obama needs to move on – he needs to talk about issues that are confronting our nation today.
Obama also needs to give us more information when he was a "community organizer."
We all know, now, that Obama had a seventeen year relationship/friendship with Tony Rezko, the back room shady deals maker who is now arrested by the FBI and is incarcerated pending his trial to begin on Feb. 25th.
Obama lied, lied, lied, in the debate not long ago when he said he only "did about five hours worth of work for Rezko" knowing full well that there 100 articles written in Chicago newspapers outlining his close financial ties to Rezko.
Rezko is from Syria, and it is now being learned that Rezko has been receiving huge amounts of money from some man who just recently left Iraq, or Iran. The details are coming out in very small pieces right now.
What has come out already, is the fact that Obama used his state senate letterhead to write letters to city and state officials on behalf of Rezko and Rezko netted more than fourteen million dollars (,000,000) in taxpayers monies.
Obama also sat in on Rezko business dealings to help influence potential investors in his schemes.
Obama also ended up with a 1.6 million dollar mansion, purchased the same day that Rezko's wife purchased an empty lot next door for 5,000. Obama got his mansion for 0,000 below asking price.
The empty lot Rezko's wife paid 5,000 for had no access to it from the street. It was either in front of or behind Obama'shouse – Obama bought that empty lot for 0,000 from Rezko's wife. And he bought that lot after Rezko was indicted on influence peddling and other crimes.
Obama now can't forgive Hillary for buying into Bush's false representation of things after 9/11, but so did most every body else.
But Obama needs to explain why Rezko gave fund raisers at his (Rezko's) mansion and Obama ended up with 0,000 in donations.
Also, I think a lot of the contributions for Obama are suspect and should be looked into. Are these real donors, or are they employees of firms that Obama rails about.
I remember one day he said such and such drug company didn't contribute money, it was all of the drug company employees that contributed 00 each.
Obama needs to be thoroughly vetted, and since the biased media won't do it – they swoon over the guy and let him have free passes for all of his mistakes and poor choices – if the media won't do it, then, we, the people, will have to, or we will end up with a crook in the White House and a "victim" as he makes himself out to be everytime somebody brings up his negative past
WHAT CHANGE WILL SENATOR OBAMA BRING?
Senator Obama will offer voters whatever change they want that will get him elected. The reason he declines to be specific is because change means so many different things to people. If he is specific he will lose those who do not want what he's selling. So, he makes you think he's selling what you want.
Obama's goal is to hold up a mirror to your own desires. What ever you want, he'll give you it. He is whoever you want to believe he is.
He's a used BMW salesman. Smooth, polished, nice smile and disposition. His pitch is: "What am I going to have to do to get you into this car, today?" He is sincere in that he sincerely wants to be president.
Obama is essentially apolitical. He has no deeply-held political philosophy. Thats why he laid Ronald Reagan on us. It was a mistake, an obvious one, but he could not know that. He is politically tone deaf in that sense. Obama is an apparatchik with considerable oratorical skill. He talks a great game but in the end, hes an empty vessel into which have flooded the desires and the hopes of the gullible. The man is a suit.
Open your eyes or learn how to play chess.
OBAMA AS ELMER GANTRY
Time after time, when the Obama faithful are pressed to justify WITH SPECIFICS their charges of racism, they crawl back into the woodwork. The few who do attempt an answer get lost, spin in circles and quickly disappear up the nearest open orifice.
Even when asked to detail Obama's policy of "change", the can't. Their explanations get very New Age and hand wavy.
The truth is they have no earthly clue what Obama stands for in concrete terms, or how he will, or even could, bring about this change They cant define it because Obama never does.
They are, in all respects except name, Moonies. The are cult followers, and Obama is their guru and savior. This isn't a political campaign, it's the Unification Church on steroids.
Like any good faith, Obama worship has its mantras – "racist", "change", "The fierce urgency of now.", "The audacity of hope".
Savvy adults will immediately recognize that when used by Obama, the latter two chants are pure snake oil. They are meaningless out of any specific context. They are the currency of the con-artist. The coin of an Elmer Gantry.
We cannot let this man con us out of the presidency.
Can you see the writing on the wall?? Republicans are already attacking Hillary, cause she is more of a threat.
Strange…Mitt Romney is now attacking Hillary Clinton in his new TV ads. Check out this link http://ulmann.blogspot.com/2007/11/mitt-romney-attacks-hillarys-lack-of.html
He still needs to beat McCain but instead he is attacking Hillary, who has not even won the nomination yet. So why is he attacking her???…
attacking her experience…but saying nothing about Obama???…I
t proves that she is the one the Republicans fear!!
You are naive if you believe that Obama will be able to tHow do you explain that Republican- Mitt Romney's attacks on Hillary, but nothing about Obama in his new ad campaign? He hasn't even won the nomination, so shouldn't he be attacking McCain? Hillary is a definite threat to the republican party and she will be the one the Republicans can't beat. They all know this. Otherwise they would be attacking Obama, but no, because they have much a much better debate for Obama, if he were to get the nomination. They will attack his lies… drug use…criminal associations…etc…
You will never go broke betting on the stupidity of the American people.
In 2000, we chose a guy that everyone recognized as having, at best, average intelligence. But, we said, it sure would be cool to have a beer with him. So, we elected George Bush for President.
Bush promised to get Osama bin Laden, the person responsible for the deaths of 3000 Americans, but couldn't figure our how. He talked us into invading Iraq for nonexistent WMD and got us stuck in a civil war that killed 3000 soldiers. The American people rewarded this "success" by reelecting him in 2004.
Since then, Bush has destroyed the economy, spent trillions on an endless war, mismanaged everything from Katrina to the budget, and conspired with his oil friends to quadruple the price of oil.
Did we learn? Of course not. We are now excited about a liberal black man with just two years of experience at the federal level. He has no management or executive experience. No real record of accomplishing anything. Why? Because he sure talks pretty.
God help this country.
Breaking News..
Obama caught lying.

An interesting but very scary bit of info the press is covering up about Obama:
http://www.themidnightsun.org/?p=1613
Why do Obama supporters claim Hillary and Barack don’t differ on policy?
Thursday, May 7th, 2009They differ greatly. Look at their different stances on Iran, our allies and on national security. Look at their different economic plans. Obama has greater spending plans and is going to raise capital gains tax about 10% higher than Hillary. Their plans for the mortgage issue are different – with Hillary having a much more agressive plan. They also greatly differ on plans to achieve universal healthcare.
People are being fooled into thinking it is only personality that separates them.
