Getting to Know Him

McCain campaign spokesman Brian Rogers: It doesn't bode well for Senator Obama's pledges to run a campaign of hope and change when on the first day of the general election he's launching the same tired negative attacks that the American people are so sick and tired of.

What the American people truly are sick and tired of is politicians lying through their teeth even when faced with cold hard fact and truth. The Republicans certainly weren't complaining about "negative attacks" when people who were speaking out against the Iraq invasion early on were lambasted by the media and they had the public feeding on whatever line they chose to give out. But when the truth about the war and the patent falsehoods that were propagated by the administration started coming to light, suddenly it was "the liberal media attacking" them.

An administration that can't stand straight in the light of day and stand tall in the face of truth is not one that I would choose to be led by. Our Constitution, our very government was created in defiance of tyranny and once stood as a beacon that several other nations the world over chose to follow. How far this government has fallen from that ideal. You don't create democracy by invading another country and installing your own puppet government, for that is the path of the despot and the tyrant. You don't lead with the whip, you lead by example.

McCain has shown time and again that rather than stand straight and face truth, he would instead twist and distort it to make him appear something he is not. Values he once spoke out for and stood by he has readily abandoned in order to curry favor from his own party. Even if he chose to break away from Bush and his plans, it would still be a third term of an administration rife with dishonesty and double dealing with the American public.

I am an independent myself, and as a Texan, I honestly had some hope for Bush making a positive change. Those hopes were shattered his first year in office, though, before even 9/11. Watching and reading about Obama, however, I find myself hoping again. He has endured countless attacks on his person and integrity, and has weathered them all with greater poise and honesty than most I have seen in a long time. He says that he is for a more transparent government and greater communication with the people of this nation. Unlike his adversary McCain, his voting history and his policies bear that out. There is a world of difference between a "negative attack" and "setting the record straight," and it's time the American public became more active and started learning about that. I do believe that Obama is this nation's best chance at this juncture in history to rise once more and stand on its own in the light of day. When choosing your leader, be sure it is one that listens to you and speaks for you, not one that speaks to you and would have you listen.

Well, djomig47, I'll tell you who can "stop change". Kingfish Wright can stop change.

Maybe I'm slow but I don't think Jim Johnson is a big issue. The message is change.... just because you followed the satus quo in the past does not mean you're not allowed on the bus

Wow wow wow...my job here is done! Who can compete with ignorance? If Obama is not American, how do you think he got to the senate, Einstein? As to the rest...oh well! The only thing that is certain is that...change is coming, who can stop it!!?

I'm simply sickened by all of this. Come oooon...!! What do you exactly want the guy to do? It seems like...nothing he does is good enough. First of all, people including the media and the other person (whomever he is) were complaining about Obama not living up to his own standard despite the fact that he made it clear of what Mr. Johnson's position entails, and that he couldn't possibly vet the vetters because he would have to vet the vetters of the vetters of the vetters of the vetters...; now that, to focus on issues, instead of nonsense rethoric and distraction he accept the resignation of the vetter in question, he still isn't good enough, and for Maccain to even suggest it's a lack of judgment? What kind of a B**Sh_ that is!!? Give me a break...he was the first one to start 'yapping' about it! Well...I suppose it's your choice America. Go ahead allow Bush his third term! And maybe, just maybe, we will be too consumed with our soldiers being all over the world fighting that we won't realize time for dinner has passed '2 days' ago!

There's a little more to it than that, Newsweek, but folks will have to get the rest of their info from the Wall Street Journal.
