The politics of outrage

Created on: August 05, 2008   Last Updated: November 04, 2010

Point and counter point - if a negative is posted about Obama, the person is immediately assassinated by being called a racist, redneck, or pro McCain. True, there have been far too many extremely ignorant racists, conservative, non conservative, hate for the sake of hate remarks made by those on either side of the fence. McCain claims Obama is playing the race card. Obama claims McCain is focused on race and not on the issues. So the slings and arrows fly in both directions.

Is it possible that people who are not pro McCain, not racist, and even quite liberal can disapprove of Obama because of what they see in Obama? It isn't Obama's funny name or the color of his skin (which I personally think is a beautiful color) that is frightening rational people. It is the man himself with all his contradictions, his anti-American actions, his loyalties to suspicious characters around the world, his consistently getting caught in his own exaggerations, outright lies, his extremely controversial family and the unknown or unsubstantiated details of his birth and even if he is really African black or Arab? Is he actually legally able to be president? Obama unwittingly reveals his ignorance about all the major political issues every time he publicly speaks. I will not tally all the details of the blunders, contradictions, lies, exaggerations or mistakes in his statement as there are literally thousands of highly intellectual writers who are doing so and publishing them. I am merely stating that Obama's golden voice only spews astral puke. He fails to offer one original idea or thought the world hasn't already heard and knows doesn't work. This is what is disturbing rational voters.

Obama claims he will bring CHANGE to America. So will McCain bring change? No matter how many people want to call McCain - McBush, it will not turn McCain into George Bush. They are two different men with two different backgrounds in the same way Obama and McCain are also two different men. Change is here. If McCain knows one fact, he knows very well that the last thing people want is another four years of a Bush type administration. It isn't going to happen if McCain is elected. Change will come regardless who is elected. The big question is what kind of change?

Everyone knows that no one man or president can solve all the world's problems in one or two terms. The world is realistic enough for that. Voters are simply worried that the man they do put in office won't make matters any worse than
