It has a taste of bravery mixed with confidence. You'll find nothing Pollyanna about it. I will possibly not support almost everything he tells, but he's our president, and then for me, he inspires trust. That will do more for just a country than any amount of backroom deals. Hope gives us energy, and energy sustains us through trying times. Boy, we've had them. I'm from West Texas, and I did not vote for Bush. When McCain ran against Obama, I was a citizen of Arizona, but I gave audacious hope a chance. The fight for progress and laying the foundations of prosperity isn't over. I've come across the quips of those who don't think Obama is capable of it. But step back a second. Would anyone have most of us fail only to tarnish the star of an incumbent for whom they didn't vote? Attempting to keep our priorities straight, let's work together with this president and build our future. Barack Obama’s book, “The Audacity of Hope,” contains a appealing title.

Too bad the media aren't taking a closer look as well. They truly are Obama's paparazzi. On the other hand, so far, McCain has made it easy for them to ignore many, many issues.

On the other hand, so far, McCain has made it easy for them to ignore many, many issues.

John McCain will be required to raise taxes as well, thanks in no small part to the bailout of financial markets plus the windfall of business tax breaks which both men supported. Is a stimulus package, as proposed by Speaker Pelosi, on President McCain's agenda? I wouldn't be a bit surprised. Not a single reason to vote against Barack Obama amounts to a reason to vote for John McCain. You act like McCain is a conservative. He is a big business Republican who thinks it's just fine for people to illegally cross our borders or overstay their visas, so long as a business in the US will hire them. He and Obama are opposite ends of the same coin. Neither man will get my vote. Vote for Barack Obama if you want to pay higher taxes?
