I will admit I am probably the least knowledgeable of the candidates this election than I ever have been, though.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1959890769905667018.post-11207052899857656032007-09-25T09:30:00.000-06:002007-09-25T09:30:00.000-06:00Hmmm...I guess I'm getting a different vibe from h...Hmmm...I guess I'm getting a different vibe from him. Of all of the Democratic candidates, he is the one that seems the most genuine to me. I also think that he does have the charm and personality to bring people together. <BR/><BR/>I think that much of the division in our country is 1) overstated (but getting worse) and 2) fueled by the media because stories about conflict seem to generate more interest than everybody hugging and getting along. It's the lowest common denominator thing.Captain Noblehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08686515438213903848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1959890769905667018.post-34233502458838404832007-09-25T08:19:00.000-06:002007-09-25T08:19:00.000-06:00My comments were not necessarily an indictment on ...My comments were not necessarily an indictment on Obama (although I'm not convinced of his genuineness), except that he may not be a strong enough personality to unite a nation that is quickly becoming violently more divisive, judgemental, and lacking in any sort of shared values...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1959890769905667018.post-70142092111450234292007-09-24T13:11:00.000-06:002007-09-24T13:11:00.000-06:00I meant to say "would Obama be too judging?"I meant to say "would Obama be too judging?"Captain Noblehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08686515438213903848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1959890769905667018.post-24437389241701847382007-09-24T12:54:00.000-06:002007-09-24T12:54:00.000-06:00Do you think Obama couldn't forgive and/or lacks j...Do you think Obama couldn't forgive and/or lacks judgment and integrity?Captain Noblehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08686515438213903848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1959890769905667018.post-37803029886896087532007-09-24T08:30:00.000-06:002007-09-24T08:30:00.000-06:00Sorry, Man.

Sadly, I say probably not...it would require too much forgiving, much less judgement, and a little integrity as well. Perhaps world circumstances will change the atmosphere later on.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
