Interesting you bro...Thank you for your comments.<BR/>1. Interesting you brought up race. I have never mentioned it in any of my posts regarding Obama.<BR/>2. What is interesting is not that an Obama presidency will soon be tested. Naturally any president will have and will benefit from all the help to face our nation's challenges. What is interesting is the suggestion that Obama's response will both be slow and will appear as wrong. It is also interesting that a McCain presidency will be less likely to be tested.<BR/>3. Bush got somethings wrong, he also got somethings right. I count the Iraq war, the war on terror, war on HIV in Africa, the proposal to refrom fannie mae and freddie mac, as well as proposal to give individual the options to choose the investment options for social security among the right things he did. His biggest failure I see is the recent financial bailout.<BR/>4. $150k is alot. But of the four candidates, only one is not a millionaire. And we do know that you have to look successful inorder to be successful. Thus I see the price tag as an advertisement and investment cost. I think it is much better money spent than $150k for styrofoam pillars for one night of a national convention.Huanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08370447960570638358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8934235.post-11102023536827279132008-10-24T23:54:00.000-04:002008-10-24T23:54:00.000-04:00Anyone who thinks that a young, charismatic Africa...Anyone who thinks that a young, charismatic African American President wouldn't be sorely tested is either naive or gravely in denial. Anyone who thinks Al Qaeda and the Taliban are not still gunning for this country is living in a cave, and I don't mean that allegorically. <BR/><BR/>Personally, I welcome all the help I can get with the problems I face in my professional life. I'm not so arrogant to believe that I know it all, can do it all, will have it all without help from others because I know I am only human. The arrogance displayed in the assumption that it is somehow weak to ask for help from others in governing something as enormous as this country in this intimately connected world is astounding. Yet, regardless of the ridiculous lack of elegance in Biden's remarks, it's clear that is what he was attempting to convey, that Obama will need help as a leader because ALL leaders need help in times of crisis. Whomever is elected will be inheriting a country so badly beaten down by the last 8 years of extreme mismanagement that anything less than a mid-level state of constant crisis would be miraculous. <BR/><BR/>But let me guess: you still think Bush was <I>fabulous.</I> Just like Joe Six Pack Sarah with the $150,000 wardrobe.Lieslhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09387096391972174245noreply@blogger.com
