Service Changes People’s Character

I sincerely believe tha she just did't get how insulting her comments were. I'm not making excuses for her, but the fact that she repeated it the next day showed how clueless she was.
You see when you're used to not having to care for anyone other than you and yours, you become immune to the struggles of the disadvantaged. When you live in some remote location, and home school your kids so they don't come into contact with the lowly masses, you become ignorant to what is going on in the world.
You saw this in the Guiliani speech and the ease with which he spewed his hateful comments, and you saw it in the faces of those who attended the convention in the way that they cheered her on, and laughed as they mocked Barack. It was like looking at the movie Gladiator, when the crowd cheered as the gladiators were torn apart and killed, and in the cases where they did'nt die, they encouraged the surviving man to kill his opponent. It was a disgusting display of the worst characteristics in human behavior, all done under the guise of Christianity.

I heard many offensive comments during the speeches at Republican convention, but to me the most offensive were the digs at Obama for working as a community organizer. I don't know why Palin and McCain can see the value of fighting for one's country by enlisting as a soldier but not the not the nobility of working long hours at low pay to help others fight for their rights. Maybe they scoff because they are secretly afraid -- deep down they realize that community organizing is Obama's secret weapon. He is building grass-roots organizations in every state that will eventually enable working people to take back their country from the lobbyists, the bankers and the right-wing ideologues.

fjstratford: Around the time Obama was out trying to improve our country and people's lives as a community organizer, Sarah Palin was a beauty queen and local sports reporter, and John McCain was under investigation for his role as one of the Keating Five in the S&L scandal. Please stop embarrassing yourself.

The comments made at the RNC regarding community organizers in general and Barack Obama's work as a community organizer specifically were a huge turn off for me. They were indeed cheap shots and after the every person who spoke that evening made them. I found the comments offensive. For a campaign that talks about being the agents of change, it certainly sounded like just more of the same.

I'm always amazed by the people who rant about bias. Tell me what are faith based organizations. Aren't they also "community organizers" . They seem to think they can take public funds and help "people" in the community. Once again the RNC has shown themselves to be nothing more than a bunch of self absorbed self righteous hypocrites. Palin and her grab at earmarks, Guliani the upper eastside boy who lives with gays and dresses in drab and Thompson who lived on the washington elite media circuit and Romney the media wh@@e.

The republicans just laughed at this and they like to talk experience. Lets talk experience.

Who really has experience, judgement and leadership?

1. Barack Obama said we did not have justification to invade Iraq and was against
it.

That turned out to be true. No WMDs. OBAMA WAS RIGHT.

2. Barack Obama said we should attack in Pakistan if we find the enemy there.

BUSH IS NOW DOING JUST THAT.

3. Barack Obama said we should use diplomacy as a first resort not a last resort.

BUSH IS NOW DOING JUST THAT WITH NORTH KOREA AND IRAN.

4. Barack Obama said we should establish a time table to leave Iraq.

BUSH HAS NOW ESTABLISHED A TIME TABLE WITH IRAQ TO LEAVE BY
2011.

5. Barack Obama said Washington needs change very badly.

JOHN MCCAIN IS NOW, AFTER YEARS, SAYING JUST THAT.

6. The dreaded surge. This is the only thing McCain has been CLOSE to being right on. I say close
because he fails to see that the Sunni uprising (Fathers of Iraq) and the al Sadr truce played a very
important part in what occurred. In fact, without those two effects occurring, its doubtful our military
troops would have succeeded to the degree they did.

So who then really has the correct judgement here?

Looks to me like both PRESIDENT BUSH AND JOHN MCCAIN ARE NOW DOING EXACTLY WHAT BARACK OBAMA SAID LONG AGO. And McCain has been right beside Bush on these issues 90 percent of the time.

So who then really is the real leader. He is the one others follow, and that is Barack Obama.

So yes, Obama has less so called experience but obviously he has learned so much more from his lesser experience because he has had the correct judgement and has been in the lead on all these issues.

McCains experience is nothing but longevity assumed to equate to experience.
