Obama - Why?!

I know that I'm not the first person to say - or think - this -- but, what do people see in Obama?

Every time I turn around, there is another speech that makes me scream - What?! Don't get me wrong, I understand that he's what they call charismatic. But what good is charisma without substance?

Frankly, he's too young, too inexperienced, and too prone to flow with stronger personalities. In my opinion, he's got some really bad ideas, based on a seriously flawed education in history.

If the Democrats have any hope of winning the White House this year, this is not the person that should be the front-runner. In the words of Lloyd Bentsen, "Senator, you're no Jack Kennedy."

This Is A Debate?

I've been reading op/ed pieces and news articles about the recent Democratic 'debate'. What a joke!

Nothing, apparently, was done to address issues. Instead, the moderators basically quoted the latest gossip and set the two candidates at each other. I really thought Gibson and Stephanopoulos were smarter and more competent than they showed.

What happened to debating the issues? Telling voters what's wrong and how it should be fixed? It's not like there's a shortage of problems in the United States right now. Between the economy in general, the mortgage debacle, unemployment, and - let us not forget - that nightmare in the Middle East, surely the moderators could have come up with better topics than wearing flag pins.

And This Was A Good Idea Why?

My heart breaks for this poor guy. He bought his fiance a $12,000 engagement ring. In an attempt to create a truly unique proposal, he had the ring put into a helium balloon - thinking as he popped the question, she'd pop the balloon.

Great concept, right? Except that, as he left the store, the wind took the balloon out of his hands. Can you imagine watching several thousand dollars just sail away on a breeze?

Even better? Can you imagine finding a balloon with a diamond ring inside? Because eventually the balloon will come down - somewhere.
