And now a word from our change agent

Sorry, I didn't find this sooner--dated Sept. 24.
    The [McCain] announcement knocked the Barack H. Obama campaign, the Democrats, the congressional leadership, and the elite news media (to the extent that those are not simply synonyms) back on their heels... like walking up an unlit stairway and taking that last step that isn't there. They scrambled around like prats, denounced McCain, called it a "political stunt," contradicted each other (and themselves two minutes later), and in general, ran around like chickens with their legs cut off.

    In other words, just exactly what they did when McCain named Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin as his vice-presidential running mate.

    The decision by Sen. McCain to return to the Senate and worry about the country before his own political interests is the same bold, maverick move as the Palin choice... and it tells us once again, if more proof were needed, who the real "change agent" is in this campaign: Consistently, from the moment the Democratic primary was settled, John McCain has been the leader and Barack Obama the reactionary, either following or angrily denouncing. Today was a "denouncing" day:

Obviously not a farm boy. That'd be "chickens with their heads cut off" not legs.

I was on a another site tonight that talked about how Obama sounded more presidential. What!? He said that we have lost respect among other countries? Uh, who cares. Obama told McCain that McCain was right around 8 times in this debate. This to me seems like McCain has received Obama's vote for president. I don't think Obama sounded presidential at all. Some of what he said had me shaking my head. There was no substance to what he said. If somebody wants a scary four years then vote for the young, inexperienced Obama.



Nice site. And you can say "ran around like chickens with their 'legs' cut off if you want! It's your site :)
