Vote for Honesty and Integrity
Editor:
Here we have a George W. Bush, a proven liar, a man who has caused this country more problems than any president in history, has caused more innocent people to be killed than any terrorist, has put this country into a debt greater than it has ever been, and HE WAS ELECTED TWICE!
Now we have some ignorant people, mostly politicians with a program of their own, or media personalities who are no better than Bush, vilifying a young, honest, courageous Barack Obama who, while firmly repudiating what his wild speaking Minister Wright says in his pulpit, will not repudiate the man! What kind of a person would he be if he did do that? Would we prefer it if he became another Bush and lied about it? This minister did help the young Obama become what he is, despite his rantings in his pulpit. Why should Obama repudiate him? Minister Wright's rantings never became a part of Obama - and that is what is important.
Are all voters ignorant? Do they really prefer voting for a man like Bush? I find it hard to believe that. Look beyond what those (probably Republican) politicians and media personalities are saying. Look at the man himself. Hear what he is saying. Because of what it says, that speech of Obama's on Tuesday, March 19, was a history-making speech, a speech which has been compared to Abraham Lincoln's great speech.
By the way, I have a son who voted for Bush against my advice, and I did not repudiate him, did not throw him out of the family!
