Missed Oportunities

Was this a missed opportunity? When Muhammad Ali would cover up and lay against the ropes allowing his opponent to exhaust himself throwing punch after punch, he always came out later in the round to land a few punches of his own. After watching last night's debate I thought that Obama stayed with the rope-a-dope too long. Critics will say that this strategy has been working for him so far, just look at the polls. I have looked at the polls and the only area that John McCain has the lead is in National Defense. The mythological "War on Terror" . . keeping Americans safe and all that hoopla. Obama's desire to stay above the fray is commendable but, appears very professorial as well. Gore and Kerry were both better suited to be president than Bush but, couldn't relate to 1/2 the voters. Ghandi while being able to draw attention to injustice and being morally superior to his those who opposed him, still got his ass handed to him in the end.

Obama said America was tired of this "tit for tat" kind of campaigning, which may be true but, if he'd have given us an example of that such as, "If you're going bring up associations of Ayers, Wright, and ACORN . . . then I could bring up up your associations with the U.S. Council for World Freedom (who supported death squads in Nicaragua), convicted felon G. Gordon Liddy, and The Keating Five. . .but Americans don't want to hear that about that stuff, they want us to talk about the issues." Boom! Knockout!

It's called attacking from a defensive position. When McCain opened the ACORN fraudulent voter registration door, I sat up on the edge of my seat and was waiting with great anticipation that finally someone was going to point out the big media lie . . . bogus voter registrations have absolutely no effect on the outcome of an election, because registrations that are signed Tony Romo and Mickey Mouse are flagged and turned over to the state's election officials. No mail in votes by those names are counted, and Tony and Mickey aren't going to show up to the polls on Nov. 4th. McCain acted as if ACORN was going to rip apart the very fabric of our democracy. Obama missed a golden opportunity to call attention to the real voting crisis. Voter purging not registration fraud is the problem. Election officials purging hundreds of thousands of existing and newly registered voters in every swing state. Voters from predominately Democratic districts. This does have a direct impact on the outcome of an election yet FOX News never mentions voter purgings. They have their "Babe" anchors show up on Oreily and report that ACORN and registration fraud could put the outcome of an election in question. This corruption of our democracy is truly something to be concerned about. Americans should be shouting from the roof tops, every news outlet's lead story should be "Election officials are purging voters!" They are going to steal your right to vote!!! Excuse me I made a mistake, they're not going to steal your vote. They've already stolen your vote!!!

Does John McCain have the temperament to be President? The answer is an unequivocal, "Nope. . . not so much."
Watch senator McCain's facial expressions during Obama's comments and just imagine him as president of these United States. One can only guess how negotiations with Chinese diplomats or Russian leaders would go. I'm sure that McCain's demeanor would just calm the turbulent waters of a critical foreign affairs discussion.
