marion: I AM NOT VOTING FOR MCCAIN!!! Lord Almighty. He has his own baggage in my book, and I am not voting for either of them.

Do I think Obama is calculating? Yup. He’s a politician. What do all politicians do? They work to get elected. What do you have to do to get elected? Whatever it takes, baby. What about Reverend Wright? Is it really believable that Obama sat in that pew for 20 odd years and missed ALL of the rhetoric? Hmm? I found that I little hard to swallow. Any more than McCain’s aligning himself with Reverend Hagee (yeah, look this clown up and tell me what you think) and then reversing himself when he realized how much blowback there would be if he stuck with him.

As to a hasty pull out from Iraq: Open a history book to Southeast Asia, post-April 1975 and you tell me what happened when the US abruptly exited. Look at Vietnam and Cambodia once the North Vietnamese took control of South Vietnam and the Khmer Rouges and Pol Pot did the same in Cambodia. History has a nasty way of repeating itself, just like the song says.
