Barack Obama
[Read the article: A few debate thoughts]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]As a Canadian watching this important historical moment in time- who WILL be the next president of the U.S.- It is my hope that Barack Obama will be the President. Yes, I am aware he is a younger man however Kennedy was also a younger man when he was elected. I do not want to see Ms Clinton in the White House as IT is very clear that Bill would be a HUGE part of that and he has been about dirty pool in this campaign for her.
*PROUD to be an American for the first time in adult life*- said Michelle Obama- one can clearly comprehend that statement tearfully and truthfully told. M. Obama is a woman of colour in America before she has been seen as a human being, scholar, mother, wife, Literate and undoubtedly wonderful! I have no doubt it is her first time to feel proud to live in America. Just look at Americas historical racial issues-
Her candor is GREAT! Mrs Clinton, Senator Clinton is a wealthy white woman and so she probably has never even had to ponder that thought!
Barack Obama is as a giant breath of fresh honest air-
He is less seasoned than Ms Clinton in debates, but he comes across a lot more sincere and a lot less filled with rheteric.
I hope that Senator Obama is the next President of the U.S. and it will be great to see the last of President Bush, that good ole boy from Texas- and prayerfull get the troupes out of Irac as soon as is possible.
It will also be wonderful to have a scholarly thinking rational human being at the helm of America-
peace- misty

No NOT John Mc Cain
[Read the article: It's 3 a.m. Who do you want answering the phone?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I can not imagine how any thinking person could vote for John Mc Cain. If we think that Bush is a War President he will look like a pink pussy cat compared to Mc Cain! Why would any rational person think that 5 years in a Vietnam prisoner of war camp would make him good Presidential material I will never know! To be in a Vietnam prison camp would change anyone forever! Does he have PTSD? I would bet yes! Has he had intense and real psychotherapy for that? HAS HE EVER READ AT HELL'S GATE..WRITTEN BY A NAM VET- CLAUDE THOMAS... IT SAYS IT ALL.
If he loses his temper easily is that the human being we want to be able to be in charge of a Country that is already at war? Not to mention he is 72 years old and is from a very old school of thought!
I also noted that his spouse has a very guarded look as she stands beside him. My guess is that she has experienced his temper.
The fact that George Bush has endorsed him so that the war will continue is also every reason not to vote for this man!
How many more young people have to be permanently maimed in war either psychologically or bodily or both?
Do we know that the largest population of older homeless men on the streets of America are Vietnam Vets! All these years later these men who *served their country* are still suffering from PTSD. A sad Commentary!
My best friend is a Nam vet and I have spoken with many men from Vietnam. War is hell! No one survives a war unscathed!
Pay attention folks or we will all reap a very disasterous future!
