Worth considering

If you support Obama or you are not sure about him, either way, this is worth watching: Obama speaks to campaign staff after winning nomination.

I know there are doubters about him, about his abilities, but this time isn't just about him and he knows it. If we want somebody to do it for us, it won't happen. This is about all of us caring about the things he mentions in this talk to his staff on June 6.

If you don't care about those things, if getting your personal taxes cut matters most to you, or you're still mad that Hillary didn't win, you may support John McCain. Please do at least think about the things he's talking about because what seems best short term is sometimes a disaster long term. You'd think after nearly 8 years of George Bush, everybody would know that. Unfortunately that's not the case.



And then there is this from the UK: To understand what this race is about, consider who the fathers of these two men were and the impact that has had on who they are. For some, what John McCain represents will be what they also believe in. Just be sure that if you support him, you feel the same way.

One of the things I just love about Obama is his "realness"...there is no BS...there is the pracrically reality of what needs ro happen and the simplicity of wording that reaches everyone if they really listen.

What I do not understand is how anyone can be a Republican today. A vote for McCain really is the continuation of The Bush Administration. Everything he says---with few exceptions, is just 'business as usual'. The country is in the toilet! We need something and someone who is NOT the Politics Of Fear, and/or 'business as usual'. I pray that some Republicans will see 'the light'! Because if Obama is NOT elected---Who knows what more horrors await with The McCain/Bush Mentality!

Amazing how that never made it to the nightly news huh? only the negative stuff makes NEWS. I was soooo afraid that Billary would pull a fast one and get the super delegates to vote for her. (and who knows, she just MIGHT, as you notice she only SUSPENDED her campaign, she did not quit!) Now if only Obama uses his head and picks a great VP candidate. (AND NOT BILLARY!)

Rain, sorry this is off topic but I don't know your email and want to ask you something urgently so could you please email me tonight? (well, it's night here in London!) My email is at the bottom of the left hand sidebar on Blaugustine (disguised but easy to work out).
