It's On! And I Just Love The Grounds on Which The Campaign Will Be Fought
We're getting a wee taste of it now. Bush and McCain vs. Obama on foreign policy issues. The differences are quite stark.

Obama will get to explain how his approach to the problem in the middle east will start to get us out of this mess. All McCain can do is offer more of the same without end. Obama will be able to rip their policies to shreds. I'm starting to get excited about it. I think the American public is ready for some logic finally.

It's so much fun watching Obama unfold.

Oh, and I want to thank whoever it was that gave me a star. That was very nice and I sincerely appreciate it. And also, it PUMPED ME UP! LOL I donated some money, and I'll donate some more to give someone else a star.

1. Yea, it started...
McCain claims that he can have our troops out of Iraq by the year 2013 and have complete victory! (What a hoot!)

You know that the Re pugs will put the spin on all of this.

I have confidence in Obama, but what I don't have confidence in is the American People. Many will fall into their trap and be duped into believing what ever spin the Re pugs come up with.

4. 5 years is a long time
We've been in the war for 5 now and that's 4000 Americans dead. Is he saying we need to sacrifice another 4000 Americans?

7. It means he's only a one-termer so five years means nothing
will change. He's only buying time for them to try to get their act together to sneak another Bush in their after his term.

2. I can't wait for him to argue what patriotism really means.
And to eviscerate the dumbass national security policy of this administration.

:D

5. It might be over the American People's head
but he should start wearing a constitution pin.

What's more important that or the flag?

9. If you belong to the Elks Club the flag is more important.

3. I have to agree with you.
Excellent opportunity for Obama to show a new level of leadership to the country, and the international community.

10. When was there 'peace in the middle east'?
No POTUS can make that happen, all we can do is protect Israel. Obama says he will. The question is do the voters believe him.
