McCain Talks To The NAACP And Praises Obama



I am starting to get a little ticked off at John McCain with his "hands-off Obama" attitude. Whenever I hear an interview with John McCain he is usually ends up bashing his fellow Republicans and patting Obama on the back, a very odd strategy. What happened to the "straight talk express"? Many Conservatives are scratching their head's wondering why McCain has passed on the many opportunities he has had to give the American people some "straight talk" about Obama. Yesterday, McCain appeared to talk education at the NAACP in Cincinnati, instead of pointing out the political differences between him and Obama, again McCain was ready with a line of BS, that I am sure the entire crowd at the NAACP could see through.

The headline of this article says it all:

McCain talks education to NAACP, lauds Obama"Don't tell him I said this, but he is an impressive fellow in many ways," McCain said. "He has inspired a great many Americans, some of whom had wrongly believed that a political campaign could hold no purpose or meaning for them."

Nice statement right? I do understand that McCain was in front of a largely black audience and McCains statement was meant to impress but he had nothing at all to gain from this making statement, except the crowd saying "Gee, isn't he nice", its not like they are going to vote for him. McCain needs to stop being so politically correct and get some courage. If McCain does not start pointing out the clear differences between him and Obama on a consistent basis, then the Republicans are going to lose this race for sure. Perhaps, the "Straight Talk Express" should take a detour to the Emerald City, maybe a visit with Wizard will set McCain "straight" .

Thank you for pointing out the obvious disappointment conservatives have for McCain - the question remains who is going to protect John McCain from John McCain? Although his "nice guy" approach may have helped in the primary - it certainly won't go far in the general election - which is why - there are 501's! Obama makes John Kerry look like the Pope - it is one thing entirely to be "polite" it is another thing when one is "fawning over" ones opponent. Kudos for a great post!
