2008: September 2008 Archives

During the Debate last night, McCain said several times condescendingly that "Senator Obama does not understand. ...", "Senator Obama does not understand...", "Senator Obama does not understand..." Each time he said it I was annoyed. But what annoyed me even more was to hear after the Debate Democratic pundits, supporters of Obama, say they were disappointed that Obama did not answer McCain in kind. They do not understand Obama.

As our representatives wrangle over the Bush administration's proposed $700 billion bailout of Wall Street investment firms, I started wondering if there were any alternatives.

That was the first thing I noticed about John McCain's acceptance speech -- a sea of white people. I have never seen so many white people all in one place. I live in San Diego. But that wasn't the point of John McCain's speech. It was this: Did I mention I was a POW?

She might be. Nobody knows. She was never vetted by the FBI. She might be indebted to the Alaskan mob for gambling losses. Who knows? Not John McCain.

McCain is saying that his vetting process for his pick for Vice President was completely thorough (link) and that he was grateful for the results. Grateful for the results!? Really!? This has got to go down as the dumbest, pre-election blunder since Gary Hart's 'follow me' remark.
