Really John McCain? Really?

Ok...  So, I find myself needing to vent.  I kind of wanted to stay away from Theology and Politics in this blog, but desperate times call for desperate measures...

Number 1:  I don't care what network you work for, Barack Obama is not  the fulfillment of MLK's dream.  King said that he dreamt that his children would be judged by the content  of their character  and not  the color of their skin!   So saying that a black man winning the nomination, though historic, though profoundly great, though a huge step in the right direction, is not the fulfillment of a dream.  If it were, we would be talking more about what a much, much, much better choice Barack Obama is than John McCain on his merits of integrity, vision, character, and ability to empower the people around him.  What I loved most about his speech last night (which actually choked me up and that is by far a first in the political realm) is that he kept saying it isn't about him as much as it is about us.

A better comparison between Obama and King's dream is Obama and Roosevelt (another thing I don't say lightly).  Of course, Obama was milking comparisons as much as possible.  But Bush to Hoover is a good comparison.  And Obama's vision is not too unlike FDR.  Lord knows, if he becomes President (and I truly hope he does) he's going to be inheriting a huge mess of a country.  

NUMBER 2 (which is far bigger and thus demands bold capitalization) Really, John McCain?  Really?  Come on now.  Really?  I don't know if it is better to ask if the only woman you can get to run with you is some obscure governor from Alaska or if the only person you can get to run with you is Palin.  Listen, I understand you want to steal Hilary's voter base away from Obama, but that got much harder after last night.  Isn't it pretty obvious what you are trying to do here?  Why not get a Mexican dishwater (no offense to Mexicans or Dishwashers.  I'm sure none would want to work with you) as a running mate?  You may find one more qualified.  Which is SHOCKING since a majority of your complaints against your opponent are levied at his experience level.  Do your really think that Americans are that stupid, Sen. McCain?  Really?  If anyone was thinking of voting for you, perhaps now would be a good time to reconsider.

There.

I said it.
