    I find Her offensive

    After 8 years of Bush, It was not a difficult decision to not vote Repulican this year. Than the Sarah Palin nomination came about, Am I Crazy? NO. A novice is a breath away from being president. FACTS: Barack Obhama is not islamic. He is Christion. He is not anti Jewish. He is young, with the ideas that differ from the old boys school. He is concerned about the middle class, which has become smaller and smaller. It is not inconcieveable that the middle class could revolt against the current political eatablishment. I am not middle class, I am rather wealthy. It is the wonderful oppertunities offered by this country that have allowed my husband and me to work hard, take chances, get lucky sometimes and live a very fine life. I want my children and their children to do the same. We need to fix our government and John McCain is not the person to do it. Other than Viet Nam, where he was a war hero, he has lived a very privilideged life, He is so out of touch with the average anerican I can not imagine him catching up. Everything changes, and now it is time to change what has happended to the United States. My husband is 74, believe me we will both acknowledge that the mental difference between 65 to 74 is enourmous. We slow down and think less clearly and less quickly. Race is irrevelent. GO OBAMA!
