Senator John McCain was talking to Natasha, the 7 year old daughter of Senator Barack Obama and his wife Michele, at a recent debate. Senator McCain asked Natasha what she wanted to be when she grew up and she told him she wanted to be President of the United States some day.
Senator Obama, obviously beaming with pride, winked at Senator McCain.
Senator McCain asked Natasha - "If you were President what would be the first thing you would do?"
Natasha replied - "I would give houses to all the homeless people."
"Wow - what a worthy goal you have there, Natasha." Senator McCain told her.
Senator McCain continued, "Natasha you do know you don't have to wait until you're President to help the homeless. You can come over to Cindy and my house and clean up all the dog poop in my back yard and I will pay you $5 dollars. Then we can go over to that liquor store where those homeless guys hang out, and you can give one of them the $5 dollars to use toward a new house."
Natasha (obviously wise beyond her 7 years) thought that over for a second, while Senator Obama and his wife Michele looked over at Senator McCain seething.
Natasha replied, "Why doesn't the homeless guy come over and clean up the dog poop in your back yard and you can just pay him the $5 dollars?"
"Welcome to the Republican Party young lady", responded Senator McCain.

The Irish's view on American politics
THE IRISH - SUCH CLEAR THINKERS
Leave it to the Irish to cut through the crap and make the whole issue crystal clear...
Thoughts from across the pond.
An email from Ireland to the brethren in the States...a point to ponder despite your political affiliation:
"We, in Ireland, can't figure out why people even bothered to hold an election in the United States.
On one side, you had a pants wearing lawyer, married to a lawyer who can't keep his pants on, who just lost a long and heated primary against a lawyer who goes to the wrong church who is married to yet another lawyer who doesn't even like the country her husband wants to run.
Now...On the other side, you have a nice old war hero whose name starts with the appropriate 'Mc' terminology married to a good looking younger woman who owns a beer distributorship.
What in Lord's name are ye lads and lasses thinking over there in the colonies??"
(Sticking with our theme from last week LOL)

Obama up in MT
Actually somewhat surprising to me that he is ahead in MT.
MT Is In Play
I know it is early, but this still can't be good news for McCain. He is going to be forced to spend money in places where the GOP normally doesn't worry about.

How Rich are the McCain's?
I have no problem with people getting rich and running for office. I do have a problem when politicians try and say, "I know what the working families in America need" when the following shows that unless they talk to their house cleaners, they have no idea what is effecting the average American.
----
* Since 2004, they've spent $11 million on real estate.
* At times, Cindy has charged as much as $500,000 on one credit card and $250,000 on another in a single month. You really have to work hard to charge three quarters of a million dollars in one month. What is she buying, gold-plated Ferraris?
* Though the McCains spent a modest $184,000 on household staff in 2006, in 2007 they spent $273,000. And who can blame them? It's so hard to get good help these days.
* This is my favorite quote, about why they own two condos in the same building in the beachside town of Coronado: "When I bought the first one, my husband, who is not a beach person, said, 'Oh, this is such a waste of money; the kids will never go,'” she told Vogue. “Then it got to the point where they used it so much I couldn't get in the place. So I bought another one.”

Don't you feel like they are just like you and I? I know Obama has money from his book deals, but not this type of money.
