You decide.

Earlier this week I got my first call from an election campaign and it happened to be from the Obama campaign.  Normally, I don’t donate to campaign until I’ve made the final choice for who I plan to support.  At this point I haven’t really made up my mind, but Obama has certainly caught my attention.  I guess the caller caught me on a good day because I gave in and made a donation.  In hindsight I think I made a good choice.  After Senators Obama and Clinton voted against the recent Iraq war funding bill, candidates Romney and McCain made predictable and pathetic attacks against their patriotism.  You know the old saw: their against the troops, they aren’t securing the country, blah, blah, blah, bullshit.

Well, to Senator Obama’s credit he didn’t take their attacks sitting down and pretty much skewers them both; especially Senator McCain and his recent market trip in Baghdad.  This is what we need from our candidates.  We don’t need them to cower from these untrue attacks that do nothing but distract us from the most important issues.  I also have to give credit to John Edwards who’s also been very strong in his criticism of Bush and his war.
