One thing I have to give to the Bush administration is the number of officials who just couldn't live with the party line. The number of resignees who, once out, just couldn't stop talking about their experiences, leads me to believe they were truly muzzled. The fact that they were so strong about criticizing Bush and Cheney and the way they are running the government should not be forgotten. The cave that Cheney lives in and his snarling attitude toward the American people, although to select groups he presents a congenial "you and me are together on this thing" personality, plus his unwillingness to be our servant, after all we elected him, as opposed to representing his own interests, both need to be transformed. At least as VP Al Gore worked diligently on budget issues which really helped our country get in balance. As opposed to sending up our debt to stratospheric heights. The talking points that are issued to keep us focused off of real issues and problems affecting the daily lives of Americans exist to keep the media spinning and the minds of people listening to this chatter full, unclear and distorted.
What I don't like about McCain as an idea, you know, the Maverick thing and a different Republican kind of guy, is that he is still owned by them. I read, if it can be believed, that last time around when he was trying to run for President, and they smeared him and his wife, he was told to cool it, next time is yours. Like this whole election event is predetermined. I have one thing to say to that: not on your life!
That's why I love the Obama movement. We do deserve a guy that we actually like! We can choose someone who is charismatic, why not? We can have a President who can articulate, has some decent brains, and is thoughtful. McCain's recent 'strong' expression over the Georgian conflict contrasted with Obama's more nuanced response is not for me. I want a candidate who can look at each situation, evaluate the facts, and come to conclusions based on the individual characteristics of the case. Not some predetermined emotional canned diatribe. One of my favorite mantras in these trying times is let cool heads prevail. McCain can be a hothead and I don't think that is good. Plus, actually saying, I don't know much about the economy. Granted that is why a President has advisors but I want the President to have a basic understanding of one of the most important areas of our lives, our financial well-being. Or at least fake it so that the people will feel like he cares about it! Okay, now he has his plan. whoopee do. I should hope so.
Listen people, don't forget, please don't be led off of this point: If you want a chance at a different America, an America that will lead a path toward innovation, technological advancement, intelligent discu3333333333
