                                     Big Winner!

                   2.  Statistical facts to backup topics

                  3.  Presented actual future plans

                  4.  Clearly cited his goals as President

                 5.  Talk firmly about terrorist and Bin Linden

                5.  Failed to adhere to the time restraints per their agreement prior to the debate

               6.  Kept falling back on his record as a war hero

 For the past few days I have been trying to figure out what I felt or thought about the past Presidential debate…debate number 2 between Obama and McCain.  There was something in the back of my mind but I just couldn’t figure it out.  I now have it.

Though I was always sure that Obama had won…I wasn’t quite sure about what I thought about McCain’s performance.  But now I do…it came to me last night. 

McCain never came across as Presidential.   That is what was in the back of my mind.  Sometimes he even looked lost.  While Obama would be talking McCain would be wandering around on the stage…like a little lost child.

While Obama seemed calm and collected…McCain seemed otherwise.

If I thought Palin wasn’t ready to be Vice President…McCain certainly misses the mark as President material. 

Truthfully, the only person I can think of on the Republican side who could have possibly matched Obama would have been Mike Huckabee or possibly a Mit Romney.  But McCain, no…never.  And the proof was in the pudding on Tuesday night.

McCain just doesn’t have that thing.  He just doesn’t have that thing  when you look and hear him that says ‘President quality.’   Nor is his resume that great…because the only thing he can continue to fall back on…is that he was a war vet.  ….and….what?   A maverick…okay….   

But is that enough?

Perhaps during the time that McCain has been sitting in the Senate trying to get into the Oval Office…if he only visited the Walter Reed Hospital a couple times he could have become an advocate for the vets who returned home only to find themselves placed in that horrible dungeon.

McCain talks about Ronald Reagan who before he left the White House was suffering with Alzheimer which left his wife at the wheel handling the business of this country…to nobody’s knowledge (but I guess a few very close insiders). 

Then McCain wants to call out the name of Joe Lieberman (what a looser) as if Lieberman was some kind of marvelous man of merit.  Lieberman who ran as Al Gore’s Vice Presidential pick…didn’t even resign his Senator seat to devote any real time in aiding Gore to win the Presidential Election in 2000.  Not to mention that Lieberman is a Republican in Democratic clothing.  The man needs to vacate the office.  This is the kind of man McCain wants to rave about?

Had Lieberman seriously considered adding anything to his own ticket he would have given up his seat in the Senate and rolled up sleeves and seriously got out there for the Democratic ticket…of which he had said yes to becoming a part of.   What a lack of leadership on the part of McCain for wanting rave over the likes of a Joe Lieberman.

And McCain choice of Sarah Palin was never one of the best qualified…but only the selection of a woman with the hopes to stealing from the Democrats those who whe were disenchanted behind the Hillary Clinton not being on the Democrat ticket.  Had McCain’s selection of a woman really been on the best qualified person…Sarah Palin would have never been casted.  Here again…more lack of good judgment on McCain’s part. 

If McCain has done so poorly in his selections on things now…and he hasn’t even gotten into the White House imagine the damage that such a careless man could cause?

One of the things during the debate…that Obama never voiced…which really goes to speak highly for him…he never once said-

“John as green as you may think I am and as much as you don’t think that I know anything.  How is it that you voted to invade Iraq and I voted against?”

And they both got the same intelligence information…but Obama showed temperance, independence and forethought on the matter.  He was not swayed by the crowd jumping on the Bush bandwagon.

During the course of the debate McCain tried to joke his way through it.  I would hate to think that that kind of man was sitting in the White House thinking he could joke his way into a peace accord between Israel and the Arabs…or trying to head off Putin.

Then again perhaps it is all a joke to McCain…as I have said.  He got to where he is by default.  Some how or other during the Republican Primaries…McCain just sunk in when nobody else was looking.

One other thing about Tuesday night’s debate between Obama and McCain…

I watched the debate on a ABC network channel…at the end of the debate they kept the cameras rolling on the stage.  It seems everyone sitting on the stage had a camera under their seat…and they all wanted a picture with Obama.  But also McCain nearly ran off the stage following the debate…but Obama stayed to shake hands and talk with those people.  Not only Obama but his wife…they both were enaged in conversations with people on that stage…everyday people who wer fortunate enough to know that they were in the presence of the next President of the United States.  That doesn’t happen everyday…and he was taking time with them…taking pictures with them…etc.  Wow, I would have loved to have been one of them.

That McCain and his people are desperate is obvious…but desperation won’t put McCain into the White House.

Definitely hope you are registered…this upcoming Presidential Election is so important.  If you are not register get registered today.  And if you plan on being away get you absentee ballot…but don’t miss out the signal most important election of 21st Century.

Presidential Debate 1 Analysis… Palin… Paling

BARACK OBAMA

                                     Winner!

 Breakdown:

 Obama…   1.  Strong factual base

                   2.  Statistical facts to backup topics

                  3.  Presented actual future plans

                  4.  Clearly cited his goals as President

                 5.  Talk firmly about terrorist and Bin Linden

                 6.   Clearly defined past judgments which had been the right call

McCain…   1.  Never looked Presidential

                   2.  Joked and kidded around a bit too much

                  3.  Failed to fully layout or explain any explicit plans or goals he had as President

                 4.  Kept reminiscing too much and kept conjuring up Reagan’s name far too often

                5.  Failed to looked firm or tough…and refused to ever look Obama dead in the face or eye

               6.  Never explained anything fully or used facts or figures to back up much of what he said

 

PALIN…Paling

Perhaps she once was an almost Miss Something or other…and maybe she will probably end up being an almost VP of the USA…but one thing is really certain Palin is paling.  And some might even say that she is down right ailing.

Out of the articulate, polished and informed women in the Republican Party what did McCain pick?

Republican women should really be outraged and angry.  Another beauty queen over smarts…this really should have enraged feminist everywhere.

First of all the woman has five (5) kids…who’s home with her infant baby and seeing after her other children?  At some point children need their mother.  And at the ages her children are…these are those years.  It is one thing to have grown children but entirely another when you are the mother of an infant child trying to convince folks how you can help to run the United States of America with a baby hanging off your shoulder.  The job is just too demanding and any employer would say ‘no.’  Because they realize that young children take up a lot of time…they get sick, there is school stuff…like conferences with teachers, going to pick up or see about children if there is a problem at school…trying to make sure you invest some quality time into your children…trying to balance work and family…etc.   And if you are any kind of mother…you are going to chose family…your children.

So, for Sarah Palin to say when John McCain asked her to become his running mate as the Vice President of this country and she says-

“I didn’t blink…I didn’t have to think twice about it.”

You have to wonder what kind of a mother is she?

I understand about working moms and women of the 20^th and 21^st century…but I don’t know one who would not have stopped and stepped back to consider what such a huge responsibility as being the Vice President of the United States of America would mean in terms of her family life and as being a mother to her children…or how it would impact her schedule and family.  And since Palin is a mother of 5 it is not likely she is not accustom to at some point in her life having to step back and to consider such a thing as-

“How am I going to work this out?”

“How can I rearrange my schedule?”

“Who can I get to baby-sit?”

“Are my family responsibilities right now too great for me to take on that now?”

“Do I have the time?”

A woman with a 7 month old infant, a very young daughter of 3 or 4, and 3 other children…she could not have been thinking about this country at all when she said that she didn’t blink when she was asked by  McCain to become his running mate…and neither was John McCain.

It will be interesting to see just how Palin performs tonight during the debates.  But all I can think about is all this time since getting on the ticket with McCain…she has been taking away from her family.  Now she is locked up in seclusion  at McCain’s estate trying to gear herself up for the debate…far from the cry’s of her baby’s and his midnight feedings.

If you want to see just how committed Palin will be to her duties as ‘would be VP’…all you really have to do is look at  how committed she has been to her family…as a mother and wife.  As a supposed woman of God…then she would know that it is God first and family second…and everything else falls into place after that.

A person who is committed is committed in all things.

If she can’t even be a mother to her own children…how in the world is she going to Vice President of the United States?

McCain what a joke…. a debate delay?

Seriously, who is John McCain trying to fool?

Wanting to put off the debates? 

At first he was complaining that Obama didn’t want to do any of those little group forums that every one claims he does so much better in.  Now, he wants to say that because of the current economic crisis…the $700 billion bailout and amid other economic woes…that he should be in Washington taking care of business rather than debating.  Well, that might be true if he were on any of the economic committees handling it…but he is not.  Also, only if he had some divine power or wisdom of which he could share on the matter…of which he does not.

Lets face it…as Friday night’s Presidential debate nears, McCain’s feet are getting colder and colder.  So much so that he called his own personal Washington meeting…where as reports have it he sat around looking like a duck out of water, very lost and didn’t have much to say.  Kind of sounds like this could possibly be an analysis of his possible showing during the Friday night debate.

Awh, come on…lets face it folks.

John McCain is not a match for Barack Obama.  And unless there is some unforeseen act of God, Obama is sure to eat John McCain up and spit him out to dry. Which when you look at it…McCain really should not have been the Republican nominee anyways.  But somehow the Republican ticket got split and out leaped McCain as the front-runner during the Primaries.  He  never had enough money andhad had a series of other problems.  Then he gets lost while delivering speeches on television…I actually couldn’t keep up with his jerking from one TV camera to the other.  I thought it was sad how McCain during the Republican Convention…whether they either tell them on the teleprompter when to turn and what direction to turn in…that John McCain looked so ridiculous doing it.  He would turn one way then suddenly almost leap in the other direction.  It was very distracting.  But somehow he made it through.   Then the Republicans did what they do…no matter what or how bad their man or woman does…they applaud them saying-

“What a wonderful convention.” 

“He was great!”

But the real question here is…

“Will he make it through on Friday night?”

Yes, McCain has a lot to be worried about.  I would try to have bailed out of 1st Presidential debate too between him and Obama.

I actually I really can’t wait until Friday night…and that is not to say that I am wishing John McCain ill, because I’m not.  I just want to see who looks and sound more Presidential and answers the questions well.  And also I want to hear what both men have to say…and what plans they have for making America better.

I really think it is very tellig that the Republican party is really rallying around Sarah Palin more than their supposed main man, John McCain…and he’s suppose to be their pick for President of the United States.

The funny thing about Palin…is that obviously the Republican party doesn’t trust her on her own.  So, why then should she become Vice President of the United States?   They are afraid of letting her do any interviews…and now they won’t even let her out on her own.  She is being forced to stump the circuit with McCain.  That’s really a good way of keeping her quiet. 

Now, where are all those feminist? 

This sounds so…so…so chauvinistic!  Can’t talk for herself….how…how dare they.  Those…those…those Republicans!

Well, a beautiful remainer of your day.
