McCain / Obama - Debate - Pappaw escapes from the home

Is it me or does McCain look like he has plastic hands and arms as he held the microphone last night?  Not to mention that he was walking like Tim Conway on the old Carol Burnette show (the little old man taking tiny tiny steps).  He also looks like he has had a stroke with one side drawn - so does that leave us with Tina Fey (love those videos) to run this country if elected???  mmmm......let me think about that.  She's pretty smart, but .......

I had respected his service - but last night with him wandering around while Obama was speaking rather than sitting down (like Obama did), and calling him "THAT ONE" - what was that about???  THEN, did you notice he diverted himself from shaking Obama's hand?  I guess he thought "that one" might rub off on him or something.   PLUS, he darted from the room leaving Obama and his wife to talk to "his friends" - the TN people that came to see them - I think the people there were MORE than happy to talk to Obama and his wife.

It was like someone had let Pappaw out of the "home" and wander around to make tacky comments while everyone is embarrassed for him.   Come one Pappaw - go back to your room to eat the jello you nailed to the wall.....  

Don't get me wrong, I haven't been an Obama supporter - but if Pappaw is all we have to choose .......

Yes, I agree, Teko, UNITED WE STAND....and it is a great country where we can debate and speak freely of our opinions.  There is strength in numbers and we must stand united.  

As you know, I was not an Obama supporter (really?)  But I will stand behind him because I believe we are One Nation, Under God.

I thought of this thread when Obama said, "...You chose Hope over Fear..."

It may take some time to undo the fear-mongering that occurred, but I believe that McCain will be able to do what Hillary did and convince his followers to support Obama.

The election is over, I know that people have their concerns but now is a time to bring the country back together.  There should be no more RED states, there should be no more BLUE states.  You guys live in the UNITED states of America.

You have just elected a new leader.  Rejoice that your political system works, and that you had the opportunity TO elect a leader.  Have many lives have been laid down in history so that you can have the opportunity to elect your leader?  How many people around the world don't have the chance to participate in free and democratic elections.

Both men that took part in the race, are honorable men and should be commended for the sacrifices that they made over the last two years.  

But I will agree with Suzi-q, that the price for freedom is eternal vigilance.  Keep talking to your local representatives.  Remember that your community sent them to Washington to serve you.  Make sure that you make the work for you.

Thank you Alikat.

Mike....I just needed to "vent" my concerns once more.  And all of his associations are true.  yes, we will wait and see what happens.  However, I do not feel that this campaign was fair by no means.  Acorn is a prime example.  

I will stand behind my president as I did Bush even when I feel his decisions were totally unexceptable also.  I am going to give him a chance....but he still didn't deserve it.  That is my opinion and as long as there is still free speech (Which Schummer is already trying to quiet talk radio and comparing it to pornagraphy) I will say what I feel.

You can choose to read it or ignore it...that is YOUR right.

People bashed Bush because he performed in a manner that warranted his redicule.  Obama has just been elected and should be given the benefit of performing in his office before he bashed.  If he doesn't perform - by all means, give it to him - he doesn't warrant it now.  We should be united in our resolve to make this country the best in the world, and one man isn't responsible for that task - we all are.  

In my opinion - if you are unhappy - what will a person do to correct it - volunteer?  Contact your Congressman?  Vote?  

Agreed, she has the right to her opinion just as Obama has a right to be critiqued on his actions as President.
