That One

That is just one of the names Barack Obama has been called during this campaign. It is amazing to me that John McCain can say how much he respects Senator Obama out of one side of his mouth and call him a socialist, That One, and practically calls him a terrorist out of the other side. McCain's running mate, Sarah Palin, literally said that Obama "pals around with terrorists." Terrorists? Are you kidding me? That is just not okay. It is not okay to be behind in the polls and thus try to use scare tactics to sway voters. Of course Obama is not and does not keep company of terrorists. The notion is insulting and frankly ridiculous. This week, the McCain camp is trying to use the "spread the wealth" (with air quotes) socialist technique. It is also known as the "throw everything out there and see what sticks" technique. I just wish the issues could be focused on. I personally feel like I have a good grasp on where Obama stands on the issues. He has not turned away from any of them and has spoken specifics about what his plans will be. If one agrees with those plans, vote for Obama. If not, do not vote for him. It should be that simple. Whenever I hear McCain or Palin (or Elizabeth Hasslebeck!) speaking, they always spend their time talking about what Obama is going to do, not what McCain/Palin is going to do. I feel that General Colin Powell, a highly respected Republican, spoke very clearly about why he is personally choosing to vote for Senator Obama in this election. I felt that many of his reasons are similar to my own conclusions that I have drawn thus far and wanted to post video of that interview. However, I am technologically challenged so the best I can do is post the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b2U63fXBlFo I hope you will watch it and draw your own conclusions. Socialist, terrorist, That One...titles that show a complete lack of respect. This One is going to make sure that "That One" gets my vote!
