16. I am astounded that this did not get more press attention and maybe it will. There are a few expalnations - none of them good for McCain. I'm one a growing number people who think he's had some sort of mental episode in the last week. Starting off with the very weird "fight" that he picked with Mika B. (don't make me spell it) on MSNBC's Morning Joe. Then consider the just nasty tone that he took with several interviews this week including this one. Does he think that coming off as a "crabby old man" makes him look strong?? It makes him look petty and addled. The choices here are that he had no idea to whom the reporter was referring. He had his head and lame talking points on Latin America that any reference to anything else was too mind boggling for him(strong case.) Or he couldn't understand her accent and that annoyed him, so rather than asking her to repeat what he didn't understand, he tried to make her look silly by making HER repeat everything. He failed - she didn't look silly but HE did. Or - and here's one I haven't heard - McCain could not HEAR her. His hearing is taking a steep dive. Does the man wear hearing aids? I think that he might and that he is dire need of a new set! Not that hearing aids are only for the elderly, but...that's the general impression. At least turn up the volume, John. And start listening to some Spanish accented speakers. And buy a geography book.

18. THE CAMPING GROUND OF OBAMA FROM MCCAIN TENT
by Deborah Fadgen



Not all Americans want to support 3,300 more lives lost to a senseless war that developed by a selfish purpose. To me, it is irony to think that John McCain comments on the support of pro life to most pregnancy circumstances, except in regard to rape victims because he supports the greedy situation of the Middle East circumstance by the agreement of a different type of an abortion. Many bodies of soldiers, who were born outside their mother's womb, died under the responsibility of the Bush administration. As a reminder, Senator John McCain supports the Bush Administration and responded to the unconventional attacks of 9/11 in the direction to military solutions. Although, military solutions are necessary to protect the lands of the noble, such situations is also a necessity to pursue peace from a willing spirit, like Senator Barach Obama's expressed to the public by his intentions. McCain specified that he intends to continue in the direction of military solutions, if he should become President and even if McCain's purpose is not rational to everyone's concern to the circumstance.

Turning the page to other issues of the American people's concern, the campaign finance is a subject that the majority voters do not accept as being the real issue of a qualified candidate. There are many people who agree that President Bush probably would of never been considered for President, if he did not have the money to get him to the seat of the office. Although, it looked possible that Senator John McCain may had made a better President in the year of 2000 because of his intellect, a good number of American people came to realize that McCain is now riding on a market deal as if the Senator is on display to be bought for the President seat, instead. Senator Barach Obama has been supported by many Americans on a private fund raise because of his education, intellect and compassion toward people, including the awareness toward some of Obama's opponents. While the American voters are thinking about the important issues that effect their life such as: Better Jobs, Education, Global Warming, Health Care, Social Security, Housing, Taxes and Gun Control, these topics should be equally important to the representatives of who the Americans vote for.

If a candidate can not respond to the question of who the leaders are in their country of representation, the incident would make me think about not voting for the candidate for the position of foreign policy affairs. In addition, it is rather scary to be aware that Senator McCain not only, could not answer the question to who the Leader is in Spain during a recent, public interview, it is even more scary to know that McCain could not answer the question to how many homes, he owns during a public interview for the reason of consideration to be promoted in further leadership of this nation? Senator Barack Obama has impressively expressed his knowledge to the public on a number of important issues. Plus, Obama is very much aware that Juan Carlos is the King of Spain. With Senator Barack Obama knowing that President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is the person to meet for diplomatic peace meetings, as opposed to Senator John McCain's intentions for tougher sanctions on people of his seeming disinterest, there is no doubt in my mind, who I am voting for this coming November election.
