I don’t ever remember McCain questioning Obama’s patriotism, nor has he said anything about his name. As to “he’s risky” I agree, he is a big risk. As to the statement about looking like the presidents on dollar bills, it can only be construed as an attempt to play the race card, he is the first African-American to be a major candidate for president. However, I don’t ever remember anyone from the McCain campaign saying anything racist about Obama.
It almost sounds as if Obama put forth four things that he worrries

If he keeps this up, all this will be just so much wasted time and money because in January he will just be another junior senator. He is the most arrogant, conceited, and egotistic man I’ve ever seen run for president. It scares me to imagine what he would be like if he actually gets elected. Will we have to call him “The Leader”?

I received this letter in my email yesterday. It was signed with the name and rank and unit of the soldier who wrote it. It does sound real based on my observation of politicos visiting in Viet Nam, except for the absence of meeting with the troops.

And that poster on the speech, have you seen it? Incredible, the great heroic image of Obama straight from the mold of the fascist school of art in an Art Deco mode. Holy heroics, Batman!

Happiness is a lot like self-esteem. The more good things you do, the more you’ll be happy, and the more you’ll feel good about yourself. Forget all the crap the teachers told you in school about how wonderful you are. You know in your heart if you are doing good things or bad things.
