T: Is for Taking a Step-Up

We are in a time of recession. Hard working americans are losing their homes, their jobs and their sense of well being. Our candidates claim to be on our side but instead are celebrity icon obsessed. It's beyond dispute that Obama has become a celebrity. But how on how on earth did Mc Cain get away with ripping off the images of Paris Hilton and Britney Spears and getting them to say "He's the biggest celebrity in the world. But is he ready to lead?" Wouldn't it have been a better strategy to take the money spent and bail out home owners who are being put on the back burner in lieu of the Wall Street giants who have put them in this predicament? Instead of brighter futures we have one that focuses on barely talented icons made famous for their personal exploits and unmoral lifestyles. What have either of these people contributed to humanity? Millionaire socialite Paris Hilton has jumped onto the band wagon, calling McCain a "wrinkly white-haired guy" and offering her own energy policy. Why doesn't she bail out a handful of people who can't pay their energy bill because it has doubled if not tripled and now have no where to turn? Instead dressed in a leopard print swim suit and gold pumps, she declared her own candidacy in a video posted on the website Funny or Die, saying: "I want America to know that I'm, like, totally ready to lead." "We can do limited offshore drilling with strict environmental oversight while creating tax incentives to get Detroit making hybrid and electric cars." Yet she squanders her inheritance without a thought to the crises at hand and she is put on every magazine because she sells them. Why? What has she ever contributed? There must be trouble in paradise as Hilton's mother, is a McCain donor.

We have a candidate here who has exploited everyone in this commercial and is getting away with it. Isn't this called slander?

To make matters worse McCain, was a celebrity -- a dirty word in his campaign according to those adds as he introduced his wife, Cindy. He encouraged her to enter the annual Sturgis beauty contest, one in which nudity is not uncommon. He stated 'I told her with a little luck she could be the only lady to serve as first lady and Miss Buffalo Chip." Mrs. McCain has been racing with the NASCAR crowd at Pocono Raceway in Pennsylvania. They have been soliciting votes among fans, which are high in numbers, but the plan is backfiring. When polled at the Sunoco Red Cross Pennsylvania 500, who they planned to endorse for president in November. A number of people gave the names of their favorite drivers. If the election were held today, "disenfranchised" might be considered the winner. Of the 206 people polled, 82 said they were either undecided or not going to vote. Dissatisfaction with the two presumed candidates was voiced loud and clear.

To be fair Obama should of taken the campaign money spent on going abroad and put it to work for the American people.

As far as I can see it our next President needs to step up to the plate and put his money and ideas into actions and not just words and that is a F.A.C.T.
