Come on now Pat, since when has Wikipedia become a reputable source for information? I DO agree with you on Obama. The man is quite intelligent. Despite his poor choice of religious leaders and words sometimes, he’s still probably carrying atleast 50 IQ points more than our present leader. His somewhat murky ideas do tend to reflect my concerns for this nation, particularly those dealing with our dependency on oil, medical care for the poor and elderly, the economy, our ecological systems, education and unemployment. As a middle aged, middle class African- American mother and wife, I would be pleased to see either Obama or Clinton in office. Both have similar philosophies. Both are thinkers. I’m so fearful of where McCain and his war supporting cabinet might lead us. We really need to push for either one of these great democratic candidates. I can’t take another four years of incompetence. This idea of placing any old knuckle head in front of a podium with a well-written speech doesn’t work.
