Email from Obama

I recieved an email from Barrack Obama this morning, not actually from him personally even though it said his name in the sender. I was told in the email that Ken Rove said John McCain went to far in one of his ads. This is the same Ken Rove who said much to the same effect about Obama not that long ago. However the real reason for the email was not to tell me something I had already seen on Fox News and CNN, but to ask for a 5 dollar donation that would be matched making my total donation 10 dollars. I thought as I read this email that I just heard Obama's campaign had made 66 million in one month if I am not mistaken. John McCain's campaign only made a measly 47 million by comparison. So I ask, why would I want to give 5 of my hard earned dollars to either of these two gentlemen who seem to have no problem raking in the dough for their campaigns. I don't even donate to charities that help kids with cancer anymore because money is so tight. If either of these two individuals would like my vote maybe they should send me information about their plans to make the economy better, health care, the war on terror, or any other of a number of issues facing this great nation today. Instead I am assaulted by their constant name calling and character bashing that they both resort to while each claiming that they are following the high road and not resorting to dirty politics. Is there any other kind of politics, or any other type of politician for that matter. I do have to say that the choice presented this year is a little more interesting than in the past if not any better, but I still haven't been inspired to vote for either of them. I actually feel sorry for both of them because no matter which one wins they will either be not given adequate time to make the changes they are proposing or constantly called 4 more years of the same old thing. Either way, until both parties can learn to play nice and try to reach common ground nothing is ever going to get any better. There are two things in life that hold true as I close this post, Never trust a skinny cook, or a politician whose lips are moving.
That's all for now, more later...
