In My Head

Here’s looking forward to the next 4 years!

… is one of the proudest for our nation,
and I’m happy to be a part of it!

“Rosa sat
So that Martin could walk
So that Obama could run
So that our children could fly.”

Yes, we can… and YES, WE DID!

Somebody taught McCain how to pronounce “nuclear”!!!!! 

I thought Obama’s response to McCain regarding accusations to his association with Ayers & ACORN was great.

This is the only debate of the three where I felt that the candidates actually tried to address the questions at hand rather than constantly going back to a previous question.

I hate the way McCain dumbs down his responses for Joe the Plumber.  Does he actually appeal to intelligent people?!

Obama, in my opinion, is the clear winner.

A shout out to Borromakot!  Yo cuz! 

Not really worth talking about.   Seriously folks, how about you directly answer a question for a change instead of going back to defend yourself on the last question.  What a waste…

The VP debate wins out by a large margin.  Definitely liked Biden.

The $700 billion financial bailout plan was rejected in The House of Representatives today after a 205-228 vote.  About 60% of Democrats voted for the measure, but less than a third of Republicans backed it (something I found surprising given President Bush’s urge to pass it).

Not sure how I feel… maybe we should let the house of cards fall and rebuild rather than bandaging the leaks….

UPDATE:  Dow suffers biggest point drop in history, falling nearly 778 points in reaction to House vote rejecting economic rescue.

On the election front…heh… McCain/Palin.  I will be so embarassed/disappointed in the people of this nation if those two win the election.

Palin… First, a strategic-only move on the part of the Republicans.  If a white male had won the Democratic ticket with a white male running mate, Palin wouldn’t even be a blip on the Republican radar.

I’ll give Palin credit for not being a hypocrit about being pro-life - she kept her Downs Syndrome baby knowing of it’s condition early during the pregnancy.  But that’s where it ends.  How does being mayor of a 5,469 person (at that time) town (Wasilla, AK) and governor of a 670,053 person (at that time) state qualify her to be vice president (with decent probability even president) of a 304,516,000 person super power nation?

What’s more, even with in-her-face evidence that abstinence-only education doesn’t work (a.k.a. her pregnant daughter), she still blindly supports it as the only kind of pregnancy prevention education in schools!  What kinds of decisions would a person with her kind of thought process make while in power?

McCain… Yesterday he pulls the “I think we should postpone this Friday’s debate and focus on the economy” B.S.  His numbers are low.  That’s why he wants to postpone.  Both the debate committee and Obama agree that the debate should go on.

Sen. John McCain was due to tape a “Late Night with David Letterman” yesterday evening, but cancelled the taping after his dramatic announcement that he was suspending his campaign due to the financial crisis and returning to Washington. While taping the show, Letterman learned that McCain had gone to CBS to tape an interview with Katie Couric, however. Letterman’s wit betrayed his feelings at various points during the taping of last night’s show. “Hey Senator, can I give you a ride home? You don’t suspend your campaign. This doesn’t smell right, This isn’t the way a tested hero behaves.” He went on, according to Michael Shear at the Trail, “I think that someone is putting something in his Metamucil.” The coup de grace, however, followed, “What are you going to do if you’re elected and things get tough? Suspend being president? We’ve got a guy like that now!”

Skipping out on Letterman to do Katie’s interview did little for his campain.  Check out this article which says it best.
