OBAMA PICKS MC CAIN AS RUNNING MATE!!
THat's right OBAMA PICKS MC CAIN AS RUNNING MATE!
DREAM TICKET!
Obama
His present lead in the polls will shrink to zero by election time and the race will be so close that it will be contested in many states. In the silence of the voting booth the still small voice question "A black man for president?" could defeat him.
Obama vs. McCain
McCain may have shown character as a prisoner of North Vietnam but Cowardice to finish raising his first family. His first wife and 3 kids were helped by the Reagans and Ed Meese while in the words of his first ex " John just wanted to be 24 years old again at 42" McCain has a short fuse and bad temper. Not presidential timber. And I am a Kennedy Carter and Reagan man. Cool heads must prevail
Obama raised in Hawaii could repair relationships with most foreign countries because he treats others with civility and resprect. Probably neither could control the oil robber barons or Fed power complex Republican or Democrat but Obama could, like Reagan make us proud of ourselves again. Internally he seems a man like Rodney King who after beaten by So. Calif copys on videotape said "Can't we all just get along" Here in Hawaii where Obama partly raised we do just this though not necessarily liking each other as groups. But we live on an island. And the world is an island where in 28 countries I've found person to person we can get along if we try.
