Wow

Rush Limbaugh made comment today that was revealed tonight to be more true than he probably even knew. Rush said that Barack Obama is half the man that Sarah Palin is. He did not say or mean this in a sexist way. He was making a point that Obama is a lightweight. He is all talk. He sounds good but has nothing while Sarah Palin is tough and has actions to back it up.

Barack Obama gave a speech last week that sounded really good. He tried to sound really tough by drawing the line in the sand and challenging John McCain. Little did he realize at the time that McCain was getting ready to name the man he thought was the best fit to be his VP. That man turned out to be a woman named Sarah Palin.

She gave a speech tonight that responded to Obama's empty talk and less than intimidating challenge and all I can say is, WOW! She was calm. She looked very comfortable. She sounded great and looked even better. She introduced America to her family and spoke very highly about her running mate. Then she rolled up her sleeves and punched back. She did not hold back and hit Obama on issues in ways I never thought a politician would dare to speak. She was sometimes mocking in her attacks on Obama, though her mocking tone was quite appropriate.

She mocked his claim to be able to control sea levels. She laughed at his Greek-like columns and his mock Presidential Seal. She hit hard by saying that his job as a Community Organizer was very similar to her job as Mayor, only she had actual responsibilities. She made it a point to mention that he has written two autobiographies but has not one significant piece of legislation to his name from either the Illinois State Senate or the US Senate. While she was making decision running the entire state of Alaska, he voted "present" rather than taking a stand on issues.

She made veiled, but devastating, attacks on his unbelievable pro-abortion views and hit hard on his disdain for small town folks who "cling to religion".

This was a devastating blow to Obama and the "media" who has become unveiled in their support for a candidate in a Presidential Election. They didn't know what to say after the speech other than silly talking points about how George Bush is really unpopular. Really? He is still 3 times more popular than the Democrats in Congress.

This woman is so refreshing. She is genuine, she is tough, and she is like us. She is not an Ivy League educated, Beltway Elitist. She can relate to us, unlike Barack Obama and Joe Biden who have been career politicians. John McCain can relate to "real" Americans because he is not a career politician. He served in the military and has gone through more than most Americans can even imagine.

While I don't always agree with John McCain and don't know much about Sarah Palin, they are genuine and can give straight answers. They have accomplished great things in their lives and have both demonstrated an ability to lead. None of this is true about the Democratic ticket.

I have now been able to take part in 3 Presidential campaigns and the choice has never been more clear on who to vote for. John McCain is a patriotic American who loves his country. Barack Obama is a man who is embarrassed of his country, and yes I question his patriotism.
