"oh yeah... he gives good speeches... but can he actually LEAD?" <BR/><BR/>i just got around to watching michele obama's speech the other day. i'm ready to vote for her as president. she's AMAZING.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09655601351157857847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34286346.post-67998832578401081812008-09-04T09:10:00.000-04:002008-09-04T09:10:00.000-04:00i've been thinking about this too since matt's pos...i've been thinking about this too since matt's post. part of what bothers me about palin is the fact that she didn't have to run a crazy campaign over the last year and a half to get people to like her. at least i feel comfortable saying that i know obama at this point. he (okay, his campaign, whatever) sends me daily emails! <BR/><BR/>the foreign policy thing... i read that palin just got her passport for the first time last year. compare that to someone who went on a world tour before becoming president and was sitting with other world leaders looking... very presidential. that doesn't mean that makes him fit to make foreign policy decisions, but at least it would put a better face on the US.<BR/><BR/>anyway, i couldn't watch the whole speech last night - i had to turn the tv off after palin's comment about community organizers. ugh.<BR/><BR/>i'm getting very impatient about this election - i just want it over with. i'm hoping for a landslide and to be saying in a few months "i can't believe i was so worried..."Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09655601351157857847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34286346.post-82193577455077729762008-09-04T07:26:00.000-04:002008-09-04T07:26:00.000-04:00An excellent post and one that deserves a more-tho...An excellent post and one that deserves a more-thoughtful response than I can offer at the moment!

I'm just irrational when it comes to Obama. I just think he has to be president, and that's it. <BR/><BR/>Speaking of Palin vs. Obama's experience (why are we comparing the Pres to the VP again? are we assuming McCain's going to kick the bucket? how morbid), this <BR/><A HREF="http://blogs.courant.com/roger_catlin_tv_eye/2008/09/community-organizers-are-jokes.html" REL="nofollow">article</A> "Community Organizers Are Jokes, Republicans Say" annoyed me. The Repubs are so arrogant.<BR/><BR/>Politics pretty much makes me sick. However, I'm very much into this election, not bc Obama might be the first Af-Am president, but bc his memoir really impressed me and I think he'll be a remarkable Pres.Stamford Talkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10145856659548079358noreply@blogger.com
