The Greatest's First Post

The Great one has joined the team. I will be adding posts on the weekends and once during the week. For this week's topic I want to discuss the recent polls, Biden's comments and the GOP.
First, CNN shows that Obama has added to his lead in the polls. Currently he is up 9 points and is expected to be up by 10 in the morning...Gobama!!!
Everyone is talking about the comments made by Joe Biden recently on Obama being tested within the first six months if/when he is in office. If you haven't read it or seen it yet, check this out.



While Biden reminds Americans that many President's in the pass, including Kennedy, Clinton and Bush were all tested early during their time in office, I don't believe reminding Americans of this and hinting that Obama could face the same challenge was the best choice. While the economy may be the issue pressed on most Americans minds' right now, our national security since 9/11 is way up there as well. As realistic as Biden's comments may be, this will only bring fear to Americans and could discourage them away from Obama. I think hinting to a national threat in the near future if Obama is elected is discouraging and scary to most Americans, especially the independent voters who have not decided who they are voting for. I think at a time when Obama campaign was looking as if they might have this race in the bag, Biden gave the McCain campaign a new weapon. McCain has been using this socialist argument for the pass few days and now that is getting old. Personally I think the president, no matter who it is, can expect to be tested but there is no need to bring that to attention. Both Vice President candidates are hurting their campaigns. I expect McCain to keep pushing this argument until election day, he really has nothing else to argue about. What do you think of Biden's comment?

Has anyone noticed that not too many Republicans have said that Palin was a great choice by McCain for Vice President? It doesn't sound like many believe that she is capable to lead our country, even though she does have more experience than Obama. Here is a link to Mitt Romney's recent thoughts of Palin. Does he answer the question?



You have to question the stability that this country will be if we hire a really old man and a woman that many in her own party don't believe has what it takes to run this country. Is Palin fit to be president or is she just an energizer bunny for the GOP? Was is smart for McCain to pick someone not too far off from his opponent just to get more votes? Is this race about getting the most votes or doing what is right for the country?
