I firmly believe that the Pick for VP has occurred within the right alignment of stars; In which we find ourselves this year.

Obama spent a scant two years in the senate, coming up with a very slim list of legislative initiatives and/or ideas...... then he has spent the ensueing 2 years in the Senate running full time for the Presidency and complying one of the scetchiest/most embroyonic; and a most meger and thin/opaque records of even showing up for senate votes. Look at his his record when he was in legislative office in Illinois. The vast preponderence of his vote was simple that he was present.
.... What the good citizen politician take postions with yea or nay votes ...even back in his home state..... Not his style.

Not a man of deep opinions.......almost a man of NO opinions.
The wall street journal when they query his colleauges when Obama was the editor or the Harvard Law review and his other waystations..... indicate that they don't recall him being in the intellectual center of almost any issue... he was rather someone who liked to move the wheels, without the concommitant need to think about AND COME UP with HIS VIEWs>


His 20 years with his church in Chicago; and the divisive separationist extreme ideology that occurred month after month.... year after year, shows a lack of moral development; and or an ability to discriminate between some type of "blackness" credentials Obama may have felt he needed 10 years ago, when the Black Chicago political consensus was that he was "too white"

This type of seperatist and disparaging rhetoric that he signed off on over the past 4, 8 and 10 years is simply ridiculous and completely unacceptable. And he signed off on it by continuing to strenghten his ties and having his Rev. conduct the most sacred and private family rituals for his entire family, when he knew the manifest and multiple statements on inclusiveness in American society that Rev. Wright was totally trashing.

There IS no excuse for this. It goes to show how Obama arrived at the high levels of national discourse several years before he honestly expected to arrive there.

Fortunately, there is a huge calculus and counterbalancing system in America which enables all of these winds, headwinds, tail winds and other macabre political machinations to be weighed out and given there proper weightings of importance as to the future governance of the country.

Looking forward to a spirited and intellectually stimulating fall campaign.....

John
