Character counts

The Obama/Biden Blueprint for America sounds nice. I’d enjoy all the welfare they’re offering, but the fact is that it’s not the job of the government to ensure that I have everything I want. There’s a lady who was interviewed after an Obama event and she said she’d never have to worry about putting gas in her car or paying her mortgage. She said that if she took care of him, he’d take care of her. It’s a nice idea but America isn’t about getting something because of which power is in office. America is about freedom and opportunity. It’s about self determination and independence. The more guarantees a person gives you, the less opportunity they allow you.

Obama is an empty suit. He is a backbencher who talks good and has the right friends. He doesn’t seem to have an original thought and only offers solutions that already exist or that he got from someone else. He talks a good game but when I look at his Blueprint for America, each page is another step towards socialism. Obama is many thing, but above all else, he is the beneficiary of good timing.

We the people seem to be willing to look past his record and rhetoric, look past our disapproval of the job he and co-workers have been doing, and only see an alternative to George Bush. We can do better. We must do better. We need to look to the candidate with character, and for all this flaws, John McCain is a man of character.

Obama surrounds himself with political extremists. Whether he agrees with their ideology or is using them for political gain doesn’t matter. Either speaks to his character. A person who attracts supporters like Wright, Dorn, Ayers, Khalidi, Farrakhan and the Nation of Islam, and refuses to protect survivors of botched abortions has a character I don’t trust.

No way. No how. NObama.

Today, vote John McCain for America.
