Blatant Reality

Well I ended up watching the forum and the Olympics and I got to see Phelps make history (eight gold medals in one olympics is no small thing). While Phelps was impressive in the pool, McCain sure impressed me at the forum.
-
To put this into perspective, after hearing rumors that McCain may choose a pro-choice running mate, I was to the point of not voting for any presidential candidate. This forum sure gave him some brownie points.
-
The main thing he impressed me with is that he answered the questions head on and didn’t do the typical political doubletalk. Most questions he would answer in a single sentence or with a simple yes or no.
-
These answers are what people really want. They want an answer that they can peg the candidates true beliefs on. With answers like these the talking heads really can’t spin their meaning. Obama keeps whining about people taking his comments out of context but when you never succinctly answer anything, you leave the media to decipher what you truly meant.
-
Another thing that got McCain some more points in my book is that his short answers allowed Pastor Warren to ask more questions. I don’t know about you but I appreciate it when politicians keep their remarks short so more topics/issues can be covered. Sure Obama is a great speaker but last nights forum showed him more as a long winded person who dances around the question or plain gives convoluted answers.

Anyways, those are just some of my thoughts. Feel free to leave comments below.
