To Senator Obama, it meant exactly that, an opportunity to share his beliefs and values. To Senator McCain, it became a repetitious and boring recital of his platform -- does he think we are stupid enough to not know the difference? While Senator Obama can actually quote chapter and verse, Senator McPain trotted out the old, and now VERY BORING, recitals of his Viet Nam experience. And one would wonder how Cindy McCain felt when the Senator claimed that the one thing he regreted most was his failed marriage? The CW sees this as a riduculous attempt to excuse his infidelity (whew! Another base covered!) Next? The choice of wise counsel: General Petraues (that takes care of foreign policy), John Lewis (that takes care of his social conscience), and the former CEO of E-Bay (financial advice -- which he sorely needs because, by his own admission, he knows nothing about economics). I think I will chose John, Paul, George and Ringo, because they have inspired me, guided me and I love to dance! That makes as much sense as does Senator McCain!
