been thinkin.....

...Great to see John and Pam this weekend with their new daughter. I am sure they are aware of the change they are going to experience in their lives. But...this is a good change.

...and i FINALLY got my text int the middle of the night. Biden really does nothing for me. Its who Mccain is going to pick I am more interested in. For that will be a factor in whether nor not I give him any consideration. But.... if Obama and his campaign are so much about change, why did they select a Veep who is about as "inside" an insider can be in Washington? If he is so much about change, Biden surely is OPPOSITE that rhetoric he constantly puts out there. And I assume Biden will be the guy attacking for Obama, which is what I would do too. But it just seems that we have been fed a pack of lies by Obama...and the more i think about it, it probably is his Kool Aid drinkers who have been feeding it more than him. Biden is a definite political move designed to get him elected NOW. But...here is what i dont understand.... Biden has been summarily rejected on a national stage by Democrats a couple of times as a Presidential Candidate. (and now that i think about it...so has McCain, but...i digress...) thinking long term would assume that 2016 would see Biden running as the Dem Nominee. Do people really think he will have a prayer then? No way, I say...and I see this move as a purely WIN NOW and WORRY ABOUT TOMORROW THEN move. pick Clinton and the might have very well had the office till 2024 at least. who knows... but I sense a tad bit of desperation that perhaps wasnt needed by Obama. I think he has definitely shown a thin skin that again makes me see him as "weak" but... man... this just reminds of sports in so many ways...Obama now in a prevent defense playing not to lose... McCain throwing the ball with abandon because he has nothiing to lose...

Ok...this drought thing is gettting a tad bit out of hand.

can understand your position on biden however it does shore up some of the few "perceived" weaknesses of obama on foreign policy & experience as biden is a well known defense hawk and have been on the "right" senate committees for years. i don't think biden will run for president if obama wins this election and a second term. people can say they want change and i'm sure they do but when it comes to leading our country radical change is probably out of the question ( and by radical i mean 2 guys or 1 guy 1 woman with little to no experience in the national political stage you can say that is what is wrong with our country but when i comes to leading the " i hate to say superpower" how about the country that stirs the worlds drink you do need some national political experience) but i have a feeling that if obama picked someone his age with the same amount of experience as him he would have kissed the election good-bye. but then again i was going to vote democratic anyway b/c in my opinion if it aint about national security and the military and keeping us "safe" mccain just doesn't have it in my opinion. if it was 200 then sure but he left being a "maverick" behind and long time ago and sold his soul to win the nomination in my humble opinion
