OKAY, MR. OBAMA BE SPECIFIC...


Listening to tonight's Presidential Debates reinforces one thing: I would never vote for Senator John McCain. He brings with him an old fashion view of life that is deeply rooted in the past. While that past maybe enormously important to my own personal history, it has little to do with confronting the times in which we live. I can not vote for a person who so clearly defines him by it nor, more importantly, could I support a Republican Party what so discredits the poor, the outcast and those left behind is "there" version of America.

The challenge for Mr. Obama then is: can you do "something" concrete for individuals and the day-to-day issues we deal with. No where in tonight's debate did I sense an understanding of our daily worries - ones centered about a lack of health care, investments that are now totally worthless and a retirement package that is long gone to Wall Street greed. Tell me, how will you specifically help us with each of those three things? That will make my day a better one?
