Obama’s Playing Politics

Barack Obama, forced into participating in the ‘bailout’ talks in Washington when, in his own words, he would have preferred to have been elsewhere unless contacted by ‘phone, continues to play party politics by blaming Republicans for scuppering the bailout deal. Let’s not forget, he did not feel the issue was significant enough to want to involve himself actively in any decision-making. No doubt, Obama wanted to avoid having to make a clear decision on such a contentious issue; why spoil his reputation for being a fence-sitter?

By comparison, John McCain took action rather than carrying on with his political campaign as if nothing was happening. He has taken a risk in suspending his efforts to be President but, in doing so, he has demonstrated again to the American people, the American taxpayers, that he will put their interests first ahead of Wall Street “Greed is Good” companies, ahead of Washington politics, and ahead of his own interests.

The American people will remember this come 4th November. If they want a man of action, they will vote for John McCain.

Obama… Postpone?: No, Politics More Important Than Recession

As we await Barack Obama’s response to Senator McCain’s request to postpone Friday’s Presidential Debate, we have time to reflect upon Obama’s lack of leadership once again. After the Russian invasion of Georgia, Obama followed (only after a few lame attempts at tackling the subject) meekly in line with McCain’s harsh criticism of Moscow.

It should come as no surprise that McCain is demonstrating Presidential judgement in deciding that a debate is a mere trifle compared with the economic problems facing the country at this time. It should be equally unsurprising that Obama is putting his campaign and his own personal success ahead of the prosperity of the country and of every American. No doubt, he thinks the average American can find refuge in their religion in these tough times.

It is time to demonstrate bipartisanship – Obama has rarely shown this quality compared with McCain who has consistently reached across to the opposition to broker deals that benefit every American.

McCain remains the real hero, a GI Joe turned President; Obama remains an Inaction Man.

McCain Leads and Puts America First… Postpone The Debate!

Senator John McCain takes the leadership role once again, as he calls for Friday’s Presidential debate to be postponed in order that he might take a more active role in thrashing out a deal that could potentially put the brakes on the economic downturn. 

The $700 billion bailout is controversial and requires bipartisan agreement. John McCain is the man to unite the parties and encourage the politicians to be prepared to compromise, if necessary, in order to salvage the economy.

John McCain puts his country first once again. He has made a clear decision that is risky; it might detrimentally affect his campaign. For McCain, the future of America and the plight of every American is far more important right now that his efforts to be President. This is a clear example of the leadership and principled outlook that America and the world needs.

American Women! This is your last chance…

Following John McCain’s inspired choice of Governor Sarah Palin as his choice for Vice-President, Thee women of America have one last chance in this election to make real history by electing a woman into the White House. The Democrats rejected the credentials of Hillary Clinton, a woman with a packed political resumé, in favour of the usual Washington insider and old boy, Joe Biden.

Barack Obama’s supporters have already dismissed Palin as unsuitable seeing as, in their words, she is only a ‘heartbeat away’ from being President, when McCain becomes President. Inadvertently, they are providing another reason for Hillary supporters to support McCain – Palin will be in an elected position as close to the Presidency as any female has ever been. The experience of being VP will certainly mean she will be a frontrunner for future campaigns.

America has the chance to elect a woman who could go all the way to the top, Thatcher-like, and, in doing so, transform American and world politics forever.

Great pick, McCain!

McCain’s VP Choice – Be the Maverick!

An announcement about McCain’s VP choice is expected at any time today. While I was not the biggest fan of Romney during the Primaries, his economic expertise and, more importantly, his clear relish at tackling his foes make him a choice I would not be too unhappy with.

I think McCain should go for Joe Lieberman, however, to prove once again that he will not toe the line and play party politics. While Lieberman is not exactly a fave with many Dems, he would undoubtedly attract many of the alienated and disillusioned Hillary supporters.

Great ‘Debra‘ highlighting what many Hillary supporters will be considering…
