Wow.

Obama is going to win the election. As much as I hate to say it, I honestly think that is the reality of the situation. Obama is dominating in the polls, McCain isn't. And honestly, Bush hasn't been doing so hot the last four years, and that public discontent is going to rebound into Barack's waiting arms. I can't say I'm happy. But look on the bright side, right? Maybe we'll have a really cool civil war/anarchical apocalypse and everything will be like The Day After Tomorrow. Excuse me while I go buy ammo for my guns and cling to them bitterly.

Say what you will, but Palin can speak!

I got the chance to watch Sarah Palin give her speech yesterday at Suplizio Field and I must admit that it was a damn good speech. The crowd was totally into it, people were cheering, and it was fun. She has life to her, and to be honest, you have to admire the woman. What she's doing is a pretty impressive feat. I commend her and found myself agreeing with much of what she said.

The Last Debate

Even though Barack Obama has performed equal if not better in previous debates, I believe that McCain finally did what he had to do. McCain was significantly more aggressive in his debating and called out Obama on numerous issues. It was nice to see John McCain stop being so nice and show a little more "fire in the belly."

Obama's Citizenship: Legitimate?

It seems like the longer our friend Barack is exposed to the spotlight, the shakier his foundations become. Here is a news flash for a lot of people, and I'm surprised Democrats aren't a little more outraged: Barack Obama is having a lawsuit filed against him under the charge that he is not a natural born citizen and therefore ineligible for the presidency. The case simply requires that Obama hand over the official documents (birth certificate, etc.), thereby proving his eligibility. To date, however, Obama has been unable to do that.
Before you jump on the argument regarding the so-called "certificate" posted on Obama's website, you need to understand that there are some problems with that as well. I have read numerous articles claiming that the image posted online justifies that Obama is a Hawaiian-born citizen. However, this is an image which many, myself included, believe is only to temporary placate Obama supporters. If it was a legitimate image of the actual certificate, why not just show the document in court and be done with it? That's what John McCain did. When his citizenship was questioned, McCain immediately produced his birth certificate, medical records, etc., none of which has been done by Obama. If Obama has nothing to hide, why make so much trouble with the courts? I believe more Democrats should be demanding explanations and proof. This is a guy whom many of you took time out of your day to help; don't you think he owes it to you to at least be qualified? He certainly does. Only time will tell the result of the case.

--One more thing: please do not fall victim to selective perception and disregard these ideas simply because you do not want to hear them. Do some research and search for the truth. Try to find something wrong with everything you read. Whether you want to or not, you will begin to find blank spots and rather confounding elements. The media never tells us everything.

A funny experience...

I just had the funniest thing happen. This lady calls me and says she's working for the Obama campaign. She asks me if this is my first election to vote in, asks me if I'm excited to vote, and finally who I plan on supporting. I answer John McCain. She asks why. I tell her. I talked to this lady for five minutes straight. I discussed issues like foreign policy, national security, gun control, abortion, the issues regarding Barack's experience and past. I backed everything up. Basically, I handed it to this lady (who seemed very nice, by the way). As soon as I finished, she said, "Well it sounds like you're a very well-informed voter. Good-bye." I hung up and had myself a hearty laugh. Use those dreadful things called "facts" and they back right down. Regardless of whether or not she meant to, this lady implied that she could not sway me in favor of Obama because I was "well-informed." Just a funny story I felt like relating.

Supporting Obama is a New Thing for most Dems

I was just thinking...its interesting how so many leaders within the Democratic Party had little or no faith in Obama before he was chosen to run and now they all claim to support him. Even Biden said he did not believe Obama was well-prepared enough for the presidency, even stating "I would be honored to run with or against John McCain because I think the country would be better off." Now that Barack has been selected, it seems as though a large number people (many Democrats) who had spoken out rather vehemently against him have endorsed him. If you don't believe me, watch the words come out of their own mouths:

FYI...Barack Obama is not a Christian, not a Muslim!

So I went to search for some material to prove that Barack Obama's past is being blown out of proportion by the Republicans (mountain-out-of-molehill kind of thing), and I found a great website: http://www.keepandshare.com/htm/biographies/barack_obama_biography.php
I checked out the 6 major lies about Obama. The first one corrected the myth that "Obama's a Muslim". The truth is, he isn't. The site says, "For more than 20 years Barack Obama has pledged his devotion to the Christian faith, as well as attended regular Sunday service at the Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago." After reading this, I checked out the church and leading pastor, Jeremiah Wright. Just type the search into youtube or visit this link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jc2FCJ7zWEQ
Wow. It's this "faith" to which Obama "pledged devotion" and "attended regular Sunday service?" Great. Now I feel better. If you plan on telling me that 20 years of a candidate's life is irrelevant to their qualifications for the presidency or that I'm just trying to dig up whatever dirt I can find, you must be kidding. I am not trying to make up a history that isn't there. On the contrary, I will be infinitely relieved when someone can prove that these issues are irrelevant and unrelated. Despite my hopes, I believe Obama will win the election. Help me sleep easier at night, and prove my suspicions wrong.
