look past the distractions

i'm fed up again with the primary race. it's for pretty much the same reason as every time. obama speaks his feelings about what's going on, and his opponents twist it to distract and confuse voters.

this time it was because Obama said that people were 'bitter' 'because for the last 25 years they’ve seen jobs shipped overseas, they’ve seen their economies collapse.' Now Clinton and McCain come back saying these comments are elitist and are 'out of touch'.

The path all these little bickers between them is simple:
1. Obama attacks the government. He says something on the lines of 'people are upset because blah blah
2. His opponents twist what he says to say he's anti-american, out of touch with americans, elitist, etc... etc...
3. Obama tells them why they're wrong and it's up to voters to decide.

Obama is proving, with every speech, that he is going to do what he thinks is right for the American people. Clinton and McCain keep showing that they are going to do whatever it takes to win. Why can't people see this? We need someone to make the right decisions for us! Not someone who's going to confuse the public into getting them elected.

Next time there are attacks on Obama check out my list and see if it still holds up. You need to decide who's got the best character to lead our nation out of the hole it's in. We don't need someone who's 'acceptable' to fix our problems, we need someone great. We have too many problems to elect someone who doesn't have their heart in the game.
