Obama is coming to town
Well my town anyways. He will be in Bristol, Thursday.
Now dont think that I endorse Obama. I am about as far away from most of his policies as it gets. I was thinking that for historical purposes, it might be cool to see him speak. What do you think?
[edit] If you chose other....please explain!

You should go see John McCain too, if you get the chance.

What is the fascination with politicians? They have no special talents (i.e. scientists, singers, performers, etc.) and they really aren't any smarter than most of us.
I might be able to understand it if one was especially charismatic, but all 3 of these jokers don't fit that bill.

Because one of those "jokers" is going to be the President come January, so it would be wise to listen to them both so he can make a well-informed decision.

Pretend you are going to a movie, but go see Obama. Regardless of whether you agree with his politics, go see what he has to say. Just like with some movies, some are really good & some suck. Seeing Obama may be good even if you don't agree with the message - or it may piss you off, just like a crappy movie.

1. If you don't know where the candidates stand by now, shame on you.
2. All 3 are liars.
3. Do you really think that they are going to tell you something you didn't already know?
4. All of these so-called speeches are really nothing more than a pep rally to incite the crowd.

Obama was president of the Harvard Law Review. I consider that smarter than me.
