"He's Just Not Getting It"

I try hard not to verbalize my political opinion. But I just have to say one thing...a somewhat bi-partisan thing.

Splashed all over sound bites is Obama touting "He just doesn't get it!". And he believes it's the truth. Let's assume that it is.

Senator Obama, Senator McCain is a former POW. He has been in politics in Washington for 20 or 30 years. He has been elected and re-elected by the same people, as a Senator. McCain has stood up for what he believes in not perfectly but he has said one thing and stuck to it.

You on the other hand, Senator Obama, how can you think that you "have experience" and "get it" when you have a fraction of the experience - a small fraction at that - as Senator McCain? You only went to the Middle East for a political stunt to "get experience" and "get votes" during the primaries (even your rival VP has gone overseas for non-selfish reasons). How can you continue to tout "He just doesn't get it" when you haven't even been around long enough to see what he doesn't get? You also say that you want to protect the taxpayer's money in reference to this bailout, yet you vote nearly 100% of the time on spending those tax dollars on other stuff. You spend 90% of your time in front of a microphone telling all of America what McCain is doing wrong and you don't even say what you'll do at all! You say that McCain has a delayed "Hurricane Katrina" response to this turmoil, yet you do nothing at all...you don't even fly in to Washington to help rally your fellow Senators OR even act as a Senator yourself! What does that say about you? We elect you and this is what will happen... you will act in your best interest and the interest of your party and/or those who elected you. You will not wean America off it's dependence on foreign oil. You'll continue to vote to give tax breaks to big oil. Isn't that much of what is already going on? That is what your record shows. Way to change!

"You're just not getting it"

That is all I'm going to say. I do not intend this to be a political blog.
