Now that Obama has been elected, I am secure in my faith that the United States will begin to regain its internal economic and moral balance, rebuild its respect around the world, and regain and grow the friendship and support of our allies and others.
Having read this article about McCain campaign mistakes it is so sad to read that you, as a voice of the Republicans just do not get it. Many, if not most, of your rebukes concern McCain’s failure to hone in on some negatives that have arisen from his vast and diverse experiences in educational and career settings. He has a multitude of experiences gained throughout his life serving the public and following his path. Those experiences have all been twisted and turned by Republicans then Obama himself becomes painted as something always sinister, malevolent, and having long lasting evil intent for the country.
Get with it – most of Americans don’t like it, don’t believe it, and finally see it and having no bearing on today’s issues. We want to move forward. We want someone whose speeches don’t largely contain references to a his past, a past that many Americans cannot relate to today if they were even alive to recall his point. We want someone whose present sense of judgment does not lead to a choice of Sarah Palin (need I say more). Obama possesses the highest intelligence, calm demeanor and bearing, and graciousness that America wants and needs from its leaders.
One can only hope that in the coming months you all start to change in the right direction. I started as a Hillary supporter and changed to an Obama supporter after giving him a chance. I suggest you do the same, and do it in earnest for all of America’s good.
