Re: POTUS Debate II
McCain (thank goodness) wants to "Stabilize housing." He said so at least seven times. That's fine -- for Southern Californians, whose houses slide down steep, muddy embankments into ravines every time it rains. But what good will it do for those of us living on level ground? Our houses don't need to be stabilized -- they need to be paid for.
If Obama says, "Look" one more time, I'm not looking. He's like the boy who cried wolf. He's constantly telling us to look, and then there's nothing to look at. I suppose he could say, "Listen" -- but then he'd be required to say something worth listening to. "Look" is diversionary. He must think that if we're looking around, we won't notice that he has nothing worthwhile to say.
ONe more thing -- both candidates are eager to call for "sacrifices" from the American people. Great! I'm voting for whoever can make my life worse, so that I can maximally sacrifice. It seems to me that I can sacrifice on my own -- I want the President to run the country so well that I don't NEED to sacrifice.
