Politics

In this current race for the White House, I keep hearing about "Change", but all I keep seeing is the "Same Old Stuff". Mainly by the one who keeps using the word "Change" the most.

I see the same old finger pointing, pointless accusations, and lack of real issues. Today on the news, I again saw Obama take a cheap shot by calling McCain confused. (a roundabout way of attacking his age) I find it sad when a candidate lacks self confidence in themselves to the point where they have to resort to these tactics.

Old or not, I'd say McCain has handled himself pretty well. After all, every time one of the other candidates attack him, it usually blows up in their face. For instance, when Hillary put out the TV ad "Who do you want answering the phone in the White House at 3 AM", most people thought, McCain! (although Obama was the intended target)

When Obama said: "McCain is running for George Bush's 3rd term", McCain replied: "That's interesting, because we thought he (Obama) was running for Jimmy Carters 2nd". Which totally makes more sense.

McCain has been a maverick within his own party, where Obama appears to be just "the same old political stuff". Every time one of the candidates have "ran" in to attack McCain, they end up "limping back". It's dangerous to mess with, even an "old" Lion. (especially if you're just a young pup)

The more I see McCain handle himself against these attacks, I think, theres the next president! Let me tell you what the race between these two remind me of.

There's a commercial on TV. A young man is playing golf with an older man. It's the young mans turn, but there's a big tree between him and the green. The older man says: "When I was a young man about your age, I used to hit the ball right over that tree and unto the green".

The young man tries, but the ball hits the tree, blocking his shot. The older man then says: "Of course, when I was a young man, that tree was only two or three feet tall", and he walks away chuckling.

If Obama were smart, he'd stop attacking McCain. So far, everyone who has, has been shot down. "Don't underestimate the old lion".
