“I think that the surge has succeeded in ways that nobody anticipated,” Obama said while refusing to retract his initial opposition to the surge. “I’ve already said it’s succeeded beyond our wildest dreams.”
I think Senator John McCain and President George Bush might have anticipated it.
Senator Barack Obama, tadalafilbuy the Democratic nominee, viagra genericillness was asked at a brief press conference in Monroe, troche Mich., about the suggestion by some Republicans that Democrats — particularly liberal bloggers — were trying to advance rumors about the Palin family.
“Our people were not involved in any way in this and they will not be,” Mr. Obama snapped, his voice raised. “And if I ever thought there was somebody in my campaign that was involved in something like that, they’d be fired, O.K.?”
Mr. Obama said the pregnancy “has no relevance to Governor Palin’s performance as a governor or her potential performance as a vice president.” He added that, “my mother had me when she was 18. How a family deals with issues and teen-age children — that shouldn’t be the topic of our politics.”
“So,” he added, “I would strongly urge people to back off these kinds of stories.”
I’ve said it before, I don’t agree with his politics, but Barack Obama is the classiest guy the Democrats have nominated in my lifetime.
I don’t like to admit this, discount viagrarecipe but I have been seriously considering voting for Barack Obama.
Not because I agree with his politics. I don’t.
But because I just couldn’t imagine voting against the first African-American for President.
I know a person’s race is a horrible reason to vote for them.
But I just couldn’t see myself someday telling a son or daughter that I voted against the first black man running for President.
But now I’ll be able to say I didn’t vote against Barack Obama, I voted for the first female vice president. (Someone who might even prove to be the first female President.)
I know it’s not logical, but I’m being honest here.
I’ll feel a lot better about voting for McCain/Palin in November than I would have for McCain/Romney.
(Unless, of course, she comes across as a complete incompetent on the national stage. We’ll have to see how she does at the convention and at the debates.)
They seem to think this hurts John McCain in two ways:
He’s rich! And that means he’s evil.
Now he can’t call Barack Obama an elitist anymore!
Well, buy cialistadalafil I hate to break it to you guys, but there are problems with both those conclusions.
For one thing, most American’s don’t hate rich folk the way Democrats seem to. (They, themselves, want to be rich and as soon as they hit the lottery they’re looking forward to forgetting how many houses they own, too.)
For another, Barack Obama ain’t poor…so the rich thing is a losing horse to ride.
And “elitist” has nothing to do with money. Elitist is a matter of mindset, not moola. You can be poor and an elitist snob or rich and just regular folks.
You’ll never paint John McCain (a man who almost flunked out of the Naval Academy, looks like he has a beer every night and probably swears like a sailor) as an elitist.
But the guy who eats arugula and thinks that the common folk cling to guns and religion because they’re bitter? Him, you can paint as an elitist.
