  Thanks for the Insight

  DIABLO

  Bravo to your insight. Sorry that it can be painful but it is better now than late.

  The more things change the more they stay the same.

  I have confidence that in time, the American people will realize that rhetoric is not leading.

  That politicizing the differences we have as Americans do not make a good leader.

  I knew that my decision in a largely liberal area, Calif. , was not popular but I did stick to thehttp://www.realpics.net/view.photo.php?id=1260218 realization that McCain had the experience. Experience mind you that was criticized as being part of the Old Guard. He was compared so many times to Bush that I thought Bush was running for a third term.

  I truly believe America made a blunder in electing a junior senator who campaigned on recycled jargon from a era that was full of upheaval. We were in upheaval but not based on race. Yes we are at war but 9/11 did happen and the war was a consequence. The financial crisis wasn't a big part of this campaign until the last few month. Obama pointed the finger at everyone but himself. He has this financial mess all over himself as well as members of his staff. The 1960's were about Change. We have no change with Obama. The Republicans did not even invite McCain to their Conservative Think Tank-

  He was never considered conservative enough for them, and too conservative for the retread liberals of an earlier generation. I wish I could have done more for the campaign. I just assumed America would have thought before they voted. No, they did not, they jumped at the chance to be part of something. Next time maybe they should just go to block party or parade or a comedy show. I feel that the joke is on us.

  Thanks Diablo for pulling Obama's covers.

  Maybe in retrospect I am thankful about this election, maybe America will wake up from its nap and figure out what research reading and analyzing actually means. Then gratefully they may vote for a leader and not just a politician who speaks well.
