The Truth Is?

Well, we have one more week until we know who our next President of the United States is going to be. As a supporter of Barack Obama, I like the position we are in. We are leading nationally as well as in the states that matter. But these are assumed votes. People, we still have to vote either now if you have early voting or on election day. Don't follow the polls! We still have so much work to do. If you have not done one thing for the candidate, I am going to say it, you should be ashamed! If you are a supporter I know you are voting and quite honestly that is your duty as an american to vote, no matter who it is for. But if you have made your choice, get out their and make a few calls, canvass, talk to your friends and donate your money. Go up to your local Obama office and ask, "What do you need?" We have not won this thing yet, but we have one more week so get going!

Now, let me switch gears for a moment. Did African Americans all get the memo that the media and the public has decided to use affirmative action in reference to the Presidency? Did you all know that? The new talking point is the media has helped him and he would not be here if it were not for the media. I am not so sure that Obama knew that. Did we forget about Rezco, Ayers, plagiarism, bitter and of course Wright. I mean really, apparently the media feels that they maybe they have not been as fair to McCain as they have been to Obama. Or not been as fair to Palin as they have been to Biden. Okay, let me break this down for you.

The bottom line is that both of the old guys are boring! McCain is boring. He sounds boring, looks boring and really he is just wrong on the issues this year. It is not the Republican year! They are on the wrong side of the issues. McCain sounds crazy and I think he believes it is 1988 when words like liberal, taxes, redistribution of wealth and socialist mean anything. I really believe that almost more than race, but age has been the real elephant in the room. The young guy sounds vibrant, fresh and new and honestly he is talking to the country, not a select few. I mean, is it coincidence that Obama can draw 100,000 and McCain is happy to get 5,000? The young guy is speaking to everyone! All people can find something to follow in Obama's words. That is why the media covers it. Also, that is partly why the media covers Sarah Palin. (I will have another post about her after the election.) She is young, new and has energized the base, but her problem is that she is not prepared,that is why the media covers it. When she speaks nothing substantive comes out. So for all the Republicans who read this, this is one reason you are losing. Your candidate is too old and he chose a young running mate who just crystallizes that point. Get use to it.
