Obama's Interview
Thank-you Obama for showing you lack of experience in judgement for the security of our country. Obama finally had to admiot the surge is working beyond everyone's belief. No Obama it wasn't everyone's belief it was YOUR belief. Just goes to show that the inexperience has no place in the WH. Lack of experience will lead this country to the infiltration of the enemy in this country. People better realize that safety is the #1 priority.
Let us not forget 9/11
When we enter the voting booth we must vote with a conscience. Let us not forget that horrified day when the Twin Towers were attacked. When not only America was attacked but when many innocent lives were taken to destroy the American economy. Al Queida had a plan and they succeeded. When I vote I will vote for the presidential nominee that I know will keep us safe and who will lead America to become independent of oil from the eastern world as well as venezuela. I will vote for the man that has America interests at heart and not their career. I am voting for the man that has enough confidence in his own leadership that he chose as a VP the future of America and not choose someone who makes up his own deficiency. I will choose McCain - Palin ticket because I care enough for America that I want to keep it safe and out of harms way. I want a man that will get us independent of foreign oil and bring new jobs in energy to the American people. I want a man that will not have us taxed to death for his own interests. As a once democrat I am crossing over for the team I know has America and its people interest in their heart and not the history books.
Taxpayers Money for the Convention
$17,000,000 Taxpayers money for the convention and $50,000,000 for security ...I say to the politicians stay home and celebrate. Use taxpayers money where it needs to be used, not on big celebrations, not on leisure business trips that you also make you vacation. Be frugle just like we all have to be.
John Edwards Dilemma
It's too bad our news media feel that it is big news of a politician' indiscretions to be exposed and place embarrassement upon a family that already has been affected by it. Doesn't John Edward's wife have enough to deal with battling a terminal cancer and now having to deal with the media. Part of healing is trying to keep stress levels at a minimum. It may have been more legit if he had been the nominee but he was not. Where is the compassion of America? Doesn't it matter who it may hurt? Doesn't it matter there are children involve. This is a private matter and should have been kept private.
Thoughts
We are heading in the direction of one world government and with the dollar having no value we will one day only have one type of money , the euro.
What has happened to our political site
What has happened to the government / political site? Seems like it has more teenage interests not political.
Cindy McCain has Substance. that befitsFirst Lady Qualities
Subject: Fellow Pilot Cindy (McCain) for President.
Maybe she can talk her husband out of supporting General Aviation user fees.This is an interesting article as not much was known about her. She was on Leno the other night and it was an interesting interview. It turns out that she is a character as she is or has been a race car driver and is also a pilot. She flies John around the country to his rallies. After hearing that about her and reading this I now have a lot of respect for her.
Election 2008: Cindy Hensley McCain has been disparaged as a trophy wife, a Barbie, an heiress with fancy purses, even the Paris Hilton of politics But there's more to the picture than meets the eye.
Yes, Mrs. McCain is the perfectly coifedblonde standing dutifully behind the senator during his speeches.
And yes, she wears stylish clothing and carries a Prada purse. And it's true she doesn't say much. But feminist critics who write her off as a "stand-by-your-man" shrinking violet are selling her short. In many ways, Cindy McCain stacks up sturdier than Hillary Clinton or Michelle Obama. And she'd make a more impressive first lady.
Mrs. McCain: More than meets the eye. While Obama's wife has been hating America,complaining about the war and undermining our troops serving in Afghanistan, McCain's wife has been worrying about her sons who
actually are fighting or planning to fight in the war on terror. One, in fact, was until a few months ago deployed in Iraq during some of the worst violence. You don't hear the McCain's talk about it, but their 19-year-old Marine, Jimmy, is preparing for his second tour of duty. Their 21-year-old son, Jack, is poised to graduate from Annapolis and also could join the Marines as a second lieutenant. The couple made the decision not to draw attention to their sons out of respect for other families with sons and daughters in harm's way.
Cindy also says she doesn't want to risk falling apart on the campaign trail talking about Jimmy who was so
young when he enlisted she had to sign consent forms for his medical tests before he could report for duty and potentially upsetting parents of soldiers who are serving or have been killed. The McCain's want to make sure their boys get no special treatment.
Same goes for their five other children, including a daughter they adopted from Bangladesh. During a visit to Mother Teresa's orphanage there, Cindy noticed a dying baby. The orphanage could not provide the medical care needed to save her life. So she brought the child home to America for the surgery she desperately needed. The baby is now their healthy, 16-year-old daughter, Bridget. Though all seven McCain children including two Sen. McCain adopted from his first marriage are supportive of their father, they prefer their privacy to the glare of the campaign trail. Another daughter, Meghan, 23, helps him behind the scenes.
Cindy McCain not only cherishes her children, but also her country, which in an election year filled with America-bashing, is a refreshing novelty. She seethed when she heard Michelle Obama's unpatriotic remarks that she only recently grew proud of America. "I am very proud of my country," Mrs. McCain asserted. She also may be tougher than the other women in the race. While Hillary thinks she's come under sniper fire on mission trips abroad, Cindy has actually seen violence. She witnessed a boy get blown up by a mine in Kuwait during a trip with an international group that removes land mines from war-torn countries.
Mrs. McCain also is a hands-on philanthropist. She sits on the board of Operation Smile, which arranges for plastic surgeons to fix cleft palates and other birth defects. She also has helped organize relief missions to Micronesia.
During a scuba-diving vacation to the islands, Mrs. McCain took a friend to a local hospital to have a cut treated. She was shocked, and saddened, by what she saw. "They opened the door to the OR, where the supplies were, and there were two cats and a whole bunch of rats climbing out of the sterile supplies," she recalled. "They had no X-ray machine, no beds. To me, it was devastating because it was a U.S. trust territory." As soon as she
returned home, she arranged for medical equipment and teams of doctors to be sent to treat the island children.
Michelle Obama may contribute to CARE, which fights global poverty and works to empower poor women. Cindy sits on its board. While the Democrat women talk about helping the poor and needy, Cindy McCain actually rolls up her sleeves and does it. Who's the out-of-touch

USA OIL
Don't know how true this statement. I am hearing that the USA has more oil than the Saudi's, Venzuela etc but what our government or whoever is in charge of America's oil are selling our oil to other countries at their price where in some countries it is $9.00 a gallon. If this is true how much will the American people put up with before there is an uproar in this country. How corrupted is our government?
I am with McCain we need to drill for more, unlike Obama we have to learn to consume less..I say BS... let the big guns who run our country give up their private jets and travelling around the world on taxpayers money..let them give up.... I am tired of the working class people having to do the sacrificing ..... once again let the rich learn to downsize their life style including their big lavish homes with swimming pools, oversized cars and limos. What gives them right to tells us to start giving up...well it is a two way street. And if this is what the government is doing with our own oil they should be ashamed of themselves.
