What about Libya’s Line of Death, Lebanon, Ambassadors being assassinated and the general unrest that existed.

Shielded by the bad economy? Only if you were single and lived on the ship - be real.

But in truth, McCain, Obama and Biden all sent their kids to private school. Only Sarah Palin has sent her kids to public school and that is one reason perhaps that middle class women identify with her.

Sorry the family history page.

But let’s just start with one fact - McCains’ kids all went to private schools, his 4 with Cindy and his daughter with his former wife - she also went to Columbia University btw, and not only that but
“Between 2001 and 2006, McCain contributed roughly $950,000 to “The John and Cindy McCain Foundation”, his wife is its chairman and president. (A foundation to which they are almost the sole donors0. That accounted for all of its listed income other than for $100 that came from an anonymous donor. During that same period, the McCain foundation made contributions of roughly $1.6 million. More than $500,000 went to his kids’ private schools”

Here is the about the family page.

Please do some research. It took me five seconds to find this. This post will be a good example of the total lack of research which goes into posts on the Internet.

Scary isn’t it. And this is only a piece of the information posted here.

One could understand her questioning the opposite party she is working for but, Carly Fiorina questioned her own parties candidate! So, if you have no type of confidence in your own candidate you work for how could anyone else think Palin/McCain are competent. Although, they prove that more and more with each passing day-their incompetence.

Just because my kids go to a private school, does not mean that those whom may not be able to take the extra expense to get theirs out of a failing public school-should not be valued. You think McCain is willing to give the workers in Iowa one of his 7 houses, cause he understands the loss of job and homes and he is with them? You can believe in something although you do not practice it. IE: I believe a woman has the right to choose, I however would not personally choose to have an abortion. But, I still want those whom would have to make that choice for any reason to have that right legally! Same with Public schools. And no he is not beholden to anyone agenda…they support him because his party is one that will represent them best. Obama is no more beholden to teachers union than McCain is to the 7 lobbiest that currently work on his campaign. McCain however, is likely to appoint Phil Graham as a economic adviser if McCain is elected. The same Graham that would call you a whiner for expressing your concerns.

Didn’t Iran take hostages? Were we not in the middle of the Cold War? So the world at the time was such a blissful place so he didn’t feel compelled to serve?

Give me a break.

Palin’s husband - as well as all four grandparents are actively involved in childcare. Obama’s mother-in-law has been tending his kids while he and his wife are on the campaign trail. Both Obama and Palin are fortunate to have family living nearby they can rely on. Many who move out of their communities in search of better jobs don’t have this luxury and must rely on daycare, nannies, etc.

It matters where Obama’s kids go to school because he gets financial and volunteer support from the two major teachers unions, which means he is beholden to their agenda of keeping bad teachers on the job no matter what (well, at least they are removed from the classroom - with pay - when accused of sexually abusing a child). His kids don’t need to worry about bad teachers. At a private school the teachers work for the parents, not the state or city so if enough tuition paying parents have a complaint about a teacher his/her ass is out the door ASAP. Parents sending their kids to public schools don’t have this power. That’s why Obama’s hypocrisy is important.

As for military service, so what, who cares? Look at John Kerry he was a decorated serviceman and our current president never seen combat while in service. What happened, people voted for George Bush. What about Dick Cheney arguably a draft dodger as Bush’s running mate and they still get elected. In short I do not believe Obama not serviing in the military will be of significance in this campaign.

It works for McCain being a war hero (nothing wrong with that). McCain used it to his political advantage all his adult life if it works for him, it’s all good.

Obama focused his time and energy toward “community organizing” the term attacked by the right sad to say. It’s a good thing to help the community especially Chicage where I spent half my life.

Public Education I would say it is up to parents to decide where they want to send there kids. Do political leaders always have to lead by example?

What kind of a utopian society do we need to live in if every polition had to live the life of polices they propose?

Let’s get back to the issues and move away from getting personal. It seems this is only a distraction.

I wish George Bush could lead by example he has solar panels on his house yet promotes federal dereglation of smog emissions, and does not help enforce federal laws to help keep our air clean. A perfect example of not leading by example. In the end nobody cares or largely knows GW has solar panels, they care about what they are or are not doing about public policy.

In short I believe we will be moving in the direction of “change” with Obama and get more of the same with McCain.
