You're right McCain, politics has never been a popularity contest

By Barack Obama

Bio & Blog

There's a new ad out by McCain criticizing how much people like me and want me to be president...

Those deafening chants of my name and the packed Washington Monument lawn sure seems like a mandate to me. Let's compare it to one of your events:

This woman you are awkwardly following around seems afraid of you. Then you just stand there when the apple sauce falls like someone else is on aisle 7 clean-up. What do you think they pay you for?

So your argument is that being a celebrity and being a leader are mutually exclusive? I think Wilfred Brimley and his courageous fight against Diabetes, waged strategically during breaks in daytime television programming, would say otherwise. How about Sharon Stone and her tasteful support for Tibetan Monks as well as her support for endangered wood preserves. (Fellas, can I get a pound?) Then there's Sean Penn and, well forget him.

But dude, this is the same argument the dorky kid in the accelerated program made when running for class treasurer against the jock who didn't give a shit, but his friend nominated him as a prank.

Where did it get the dork? A sorry-you-lost dinner with his mom at Pizza Hut.

MC.CAN IS NO STRAIGHT TALK EXPRESS; BUT DOUBLE TALK, YES.
By Wilgeens Rosenberg.

Let us take a look at Mc.Cain stance on Iraq today who supposedly claims staying in Iraq is about until success is achieved.

Mc.Cain claims that our staying in Iraq is until success is achieved... No problem and okay granted as a Soldier myself I can understand that, but where was that Mc.Cain's desire for success when US Troops where in poor Black nations like Haiti and Somalia where and when Mc.Cain himself without any regard to success in those regions demanded their immediate withdrawals?

Let us talking about flip flopping for political victory. Please, take a look at these videos and you be the judge of who is a major flip flopper. (Copy & Pasted the links if they are not clickable or hypertext).

Hmm, now Mc.Cain on IRAQ:
Well, we all know what his stance is on "Profitable" Iraq today along with his other flip flops on Affirmative Action, Immigration, Off Shore Drilling and so forth, you name it... Here, have a look at for yourself in those videos bellow

Some "straight talk" huh? Yeah right... Sounds more like "Double Talk" of usual politics to me for political gain and success to the White House.

As a US Soldier, a 2 times Iraq Veteran and a now US Citizen, I would like to get some answers before I cast my very first Ballot.
