CHARACTER COMPARISONS …

Lofty speeches are great … but actons
speak louder than words !!!

In addition to 20+ more years of service and
experience in the U.S. senate than the other
candidate …

One candidate, John McCain watched his fellow
prisoner’s backs, at great cost to himself. After
3 years as a tortured P.O.W. in Vietnam, he was
offered early release by the enemy. But, since it
would have been dishonorable to get released
before his fellow prisoners, he refused, which
resulted in 2 1/2 additional years of torture and
captivity.

The other candidate, Barack Obama threw his
self proclaimed friend, spiritual advisor, and mentor
of 20 years, under the bus for political expediency and gain.

To vote for Obama, after learning these differences …
will say as much about your character, as it does about
the character of the two candidates.

Meh. Goes to show you that all generalized political speeches are pretty much rhetorical boilerplate, whatever the era. “Interchangeable” is definitely the right word.

Ag,
It helps if you cover half the face, and only look at one half at a time.

Is it just me, or is something… “strange”… about the picture of Obama that accompanies this article?

My sources: EXCERPT 1: Jimmy Carter's first nomination acceptance speech - July 15, 1976 EXCERPT 2: John F Kennedy's nomination acceptance speech. July 15, 1960 Memorial Coliseum Los Angeles Tonight we'll see just how interchangeable these speeches are.
