Will He or won't He?

Ok Mr. Powell is going on Meet the Press on Sunday and most folks say he is going to endorse Obama. I am going to go out on a limb and say if I were a betting person ( well I am a betting person) I would say yes and I would say yes for a couple of reasons: #1 Mr. Powell and McCain have been friends for 35 years if he was going to vote for his friend the friend would know. #2. Mr. Powell still feels bitter about a few things that have happened when he served in the Bush W. administration, I believe he will be a senior adviser in the Obama administration and correct the wrongs he was previously apart of. Stay tuned I know I will.

That's a Wrap!!!!!!!!

Well Mr. Obama start measuring the drapes. It’s all over for the voting.

If last night is any indication of the future of this campaign then this is a done deal.

What about some straight talk hope?

For the past few days there has been talk from each campaign staff. One camp says it is going to take it to him and the other says bring it on. While each camp wants to bill this debate as the next “Thriller in Manila” the American people want answers. We want answers about the economy, health care, and Iraq etc... After each question each candidate should ask themselves am I trying to deliver a knockout blow to my opponent or am I trying to give an answer to help the American people. It is my hope and prayer their answer is the latter because at this time we do not need any more knockouts we need so real straight talk hope.

There is Hope from the Maverick!

During a Town Hall meeting today in Minneapolis, a voter told John McCain that he was afraid of an Obama Presidency. Mr. McCain paused and
said “ My friend I want to win this election, but you do not have to be afraid of an Obama Presidency.” The look that John McCain had on his
face was very interesting, it showed how he regretted the damage that he has done over the past few weeks. It will be very interesting
to see if he will try to repair the dangerous damage he has done.

Shame on Us and McCain and Palin.

There are two things I have noticed from the observations of the debate last night.

#1 Everyone says the debate was boring and there was not a knockout punch from either candidate.

For years people have said they avoid politics because it is down and dirty yet when politicians act civil towards each other the public states the debates are boring. What does it say about
us as a society when we want to see two leading leaders fight? Dirty politics as I have said before does not help anybody and we need to stop looking for flash and style that is why we are in the mess
we are in right now. Let’s us demand from our candidates that they provide answers to our problems and insight on taking our country to a better place.

#2 Why is Senator McCain so angry and so rude to Barack Obama both in person and on the trail?

Senator McCain and his running mate have launched a very dangerous effort in painting Obama as dangerous. It is fine to attack Obama on the issues, but to scare people about a fellow U.S. Senator
is not smart and it borders on racism. The tone is fueling hate and it is not indicative of where we should be as a country. When Obama does win McCain and Palin will have a great deal of apologizing to do. It is also incumbent upon McCain to be civil to Obama, this does not include calling Obama “that one” and refusing to shake his hand.

McCain is going in a dangerous direction and it is very disappointing from a candidate who promised to run a clean campaign . The truth is this if Obama wins or loses he can look himself in a mirror and state he ran a 98% clean campaign. Too bad John McCain will not be able to do the same.

Donna Brazille is truly a woman of truth. Please watch this film of Ms. Brazille at a forum sponsored by the New Yorker. I could not have said it better myself.

Great speech on the American Worker.

I discovered the video on NPR today. It is the AFL-CIO Secretary-Treasurer Richard Trumka's Remarks to USW Convention, July 1, 2008. It is one the most powerful things I have ever heard.

These are the things we should be talking about right now and not the negative campaigning that is going. The American people are the subject not the candidates. I wish everyone could see this video and truly understand what this election is all about.
