I completely agree with your wife. Obama was a shifty-eyed snake, weighing the response to his every word, always ready to shift his rhetoric to play to the crowd. Women see through that kind of stuff in an instant. A new kind of politician, indeed. He's an actor. He's worse than most politicos at pandering to whomever he is speaking and trying to make himself one of them, only better.

I ignored Obama Who? for a long time, but in the first speech of his I heard, he was proclaiming that "the culture wars are over," implying that the liberals had won, and as though saying it would magically make it true. The questions Rick Warren asked, and the reaction of the audience, makes it clear the culture wars rage on. I can only pray that McCain is as principled a president as he was as an interviewee at Saddleback.

I agree too. I was thinking as I watched it that Obama said nothing of substance. McCain was quick and decisive and a true leader who I would entrust my country to. Whereas Obama is a dreamer who you’d at most want to have coffee with and philosophize with - he’s a dreamer. McCain is a leader. I heard yesterday someone say it was the difference between a boy and man - I could not agree more. Do you want Obama’s grandma and wife running our country, or true historical leaders with valid experience in national security, etc.? I couldn’t believe his choices of top three people of influence ... that answer just set the stage for the remaining answers to come.
