I knew before Obama ever reached the stage that no matter what he said he would be considered weak by the Talking Heads. I can report with all honesty that they did not let me down.
However, before I go further I need to put it out there how I feel about this whole religious push this country has been operating on for the last 200 years. I'm tired of it. I'm a christian and I have clearly come to be able to live with Muslims, atheists and a host of other religions peacefully. Why is it that we must invade a political leader with taking a religious stance? Why can't we elect someone because they can lead and not which God they believe? That being said let me continue.
As usual the Talking Heads have tagged a new word to indicate Obama was viewed as weak. That new word is "nuance." Of course McCain was viewed as forceful and powerful and taking a strong stance. I could have believed that if I had not wasted the time to view the show. McCain was neither powerful or forceful. He was evasive and failed to answer some of the questions. He would instead give a stumping point to why he should be president. Let's give McCain brownie points for being dishonest. Most of McCain's answers lead to his being a POW, how he's going to follow Osama bin Laden to hell, blah, blah, blah.
McCain came off as just a little to prepared for every question. This is the same man who can not read a teleprompter straight, much less deliver any lines without stumbling. Yet on this night he was on target? When he was asked the question of when did he bucke his parties interest and maybe his own interest. McCain stated that would be over" climate control and wasteful spending?" He has got to be kidding. McCain has ♠not voted on improving our climate control at all and wasteful spending is a catch line he uses when he does not want to vote for a bill that is against any of his lobbyist causes.
What a crock the whole forum was. I don't need a president that can keep the faithful happy (remember Bush), I need one that can lead and lead with some form of truthfulness. I can not see how I should view McCain as the way to go when he has surrounded himself with powerful lobbyist and have corrected his policy stance to be reflected of meeting those lobbyist's clients needs (big oil, Georgia to name a few). McCain has consistently voted 100% with Bush thus far in 2008 and 95% of the time in 2007. Where in is this change? In fact, McCain wants to keep all of Bush's failed policies or enhance them to make it worst for me, middle of the road American. Who are the republicans kidding? McCain is not change you can believe in! He's just more of the same minus diplomacy (as he taught me this week with his rantings over Russia-Georgia).
I am so thankful Obama do not listen to the Talking Heads as intently as we other victims do. If he did he could hardly believe his own lead. I am so glad this day is coming to a close and I do not have to hear nuance one more damn time. But let me acknowledge what the talking heads did not bother to discuss:

I am so glad this day is coming to a close and I do not have to hear nuance one more damn time. But let me acknowledge what the talking heads did not bother to discuss:
- Why is the press giving McCain a pass on one of the biggest mistakes of foreign policy that America has committed when Bush invaded Iraq?
- Why on this fine Sunday was there no mention of McCain's unnecessary rhetoric earlier this week against Russia?
- Why was no one talking about McCain having declared himself president and sending emissaries to Georgia?
- Why did one of the biggest champions of the Iraq war (McCain) make statements in regards to "in the 21st century, nations do not invade other nations?"
- Why didn't we get any answers in regards to McCain saying that this was the biggest international crisis since the end of the cold war?
- Why is it that McCain has two lobbyist running his campaign and they are also in bed (or once was in bed) with Georgia and the DHL problem in Ohio?
- Why is Phil Gramm back on the scene and being touted as McCain's Treasury Secretary?
But of course none of that is important. What's important is that Democrats need to be more like republicans and scream for blood, shoot from the hip, and take charge and be large. God forbid we elect some one to be president that actual is presidential and intelligent too. It would be so much better if we just elect another dumb puppet and let the neocons rule as they have for the last 8 years.
