... would you rather have:

A reckless, impulsive, unstable (labeled "hot-tempered" by his own
peers; refused a Navy command as "unfit to command") poorly-educated
man born to wealth and position, whose whole life has been seeking his
father and grandfather's approval....who made it into the Naval
Academy on family connections... who graduated fifth from the bottom
of a 900+ person class...who managed through the same Daddy
connections to avoid getting thrown out out of the Academy after
crashing several planes (one in a stunt) that would have ended anybody
else's career...who drank and wenched his way through life, including
the military...who in Vietnam decided not to follow protocol and take
evasive action when a SAM locked onto his plane, but proceeded to
bomb the target -- and got shot down...who saved his life by trading
information to the enemy for FIVE years...who is the only one of many,
many equally mistreated POWs to methodically exploit his captivity
for career and political ends...who betrayed the crippled wife who had
patiently waited for him by courting a much-younger rich young cutie,
taking out a marriage license for her before divorcing his loyal
wife...who denounces his opponent as "elite" while he can't even
remember how many houses he owns.....who has voted 95% with the
bought-and -sold incumbent, to the detriment of our country here and
abroad...who said himself he doesn't know much about economics...who
voted consistently against the banking industry regulations that might
well have prevented economic collapse here and world-wide...who has
disgusted even his own Party by pandering to the radical religious
right...who has shown terrifyingly bad judgment by naming an
unqualified Vice President (who might become President) based on two
brief interviews and NO vetting by the FBI...in short, an unqualified
candidate for the Presidency he has hungered for all his life.

OR

A cool, calm, patient, very well-educated (PhD in international
relations; taught Constitutional Law at one of the best universities
in the country (full disclosure: I am a U of C alum<g>)... a biracial
man who has made his way up NOT by family connections but
on pure talent, carefully making his way around the still-powerful
racial barriers to success...who is happily married not to a rich
dish, but to a strong professional woman who made her own way up...
who is the involved parent of two young children...who has worked with
and for the common people all his life...a man who surrounds himself
with advisers who are specifically tasked (unlike the incumbent) to
bring him all sides of a question; to elucidate our position in light
of world circumstances; who are instructed to disagree/argue when
necessary.



As a results-oriented voter who researches carefully and who is
not given to baseless prejudice, my choice is clear.

I will take McCain rather than a racist who only left his white hating
church which he attended for twenty years, after it became a liability
to his political campaign. This says nothing about his hateful wife!!!!

===================================
Have you heard the Man-On-The-Street interviews in Harlem yet?
It's scary to realize the reality of it.....

Since Obama has been "American Idol preened" by his Hollywood promoters
to set a 'feel good' agenda of 'Peace, Hope, Love and Unity'....I'm
waiting for some of that warm 'n fuzzy stuff to show itself in his
supporters. When will they start practicing it in their daily
encounters? I hear more fighting, ugly, hateful and divisionary
attitudes instead.

Perhaps it's something he will later instruct them in [while not
honoring our country's flag on his airplane (by designing his own 'flag'
logo) or failing to put his hand over his heart??....or probably when he
changes our National Anthem to "I'd Like To Teach The World To Sing In
Perfect Harmony". Yeah, that will promote 'unity' and 'change'
alright.....lot's of change.

Fair warning to Obama voters....you will be expected to display a higher
standard of your peace, hope, love, love, love and unity intentions, as
proud examples of his success, should he win.
