James Politics: National Election- National Editorial by www.jamestowncalif.com Obama/McCain Interviewed by Pastor Warren at Saddleback Church
Obama/McCain Interviewed by Pastor Warren at Saddleback Church in Lake Forest, California was hosted by local residents people got a glimpse of the Two Candidates Character on National Key Issues. Barack Obama went first, and Pastor Warren asked questions regarding Abortion, National Politics, define what makes a person rich, Character questions to give the audience there and the viewers a taste of how one would handle the position as President of the United States. Pastor Warren gave a strong Interview to both Obama and McCain, and after the interview people were thinking to themselves that both need a Vice President with such character. Alone up there in front of a National Audience, the Church Arena providing perhaps the best glimpse of the two candidates character.
The questions were going to be tougher on Democratic Nominee Obama because of the fact that he is a Democrat, and the Abortion issue is what separates people from being either Democrat or Republican.
A lot of people would say that McCain did a better job on the Interview, but I think like wise. McCain still speaking out the same rhetoric, it was easier for him to answer certain questions. The People there at the Church gave Obama a tremendous loud applause, and then Pastor Warren brought out McCain. Whether or you agree or disagree with party differences, it seemed that the people there set those differences aside wanting the change, and appreciating the fact that Obama seems more honest then McCain. The reason why I say that is because the Abortion issue which many political contributors said would not be a deciding factor in this 2008 election actually is a big issue in this campaign.
To add, some of the fastness or quickness of McCain’s answers was questionable, and many people have said that he may have already heard some of the questions as Obama went first on the questions.
That could be a good question to ask to see his character shows if he is honest. In fairness to Obama coming into the Church, he gave frank answers to the questions asked, and most of the answers were to appease the democratic voters. In Southern California, Republicans are strong in Los Angeles and Orange County where as Democrats are strong in Riverside and San Bernardino Counties. The debates went to the advantage of McCain being that Conservative People were mostly there, and the questions all favored Conservative points of View.
The Two Candidates gave favorable answers to the audience to stand by their parties principles. John McCain had the advantage on the Abortion Issue, and during this New Crisis in Georgia between Russia and Georgia, automatically people tend to favor the Republican. Only that in this case where was the leadership and agencies working on intelligence before this crisis commenced, and it brings up so many questions where Pastor Warren was not asking. Pastor Warren did a Tremendous Job under Pressure asking the moral, and character questions, and I could not have said it better. The debate favored McCain although Obama received a bigger round of applause because people are just so sickened of the Republican Leadership the last 8 years, many Republicans are just not sure of one’s Character of John McCain.
What I notice is the last three elections border states governor and senator are running for President of the United States, and neither one of them have made a dent on National Security Issues within. Asking for Our Vote, the Senator of Arizona continues to promote the idea of off shore drilling in the Ocean where some states have their coasts under Protection. McCain recently was in the Gulf of Mexico on board a Off Shore Drilling location that pumps out 10,000 barrels of oil a day. Obama mostly has been against off shore drilling in the protected states, but has recently changed his position considering limited off shore drilling. Many Democrats are showing their faces by changing their stances while on vacation giving the public the idea that they are waiting on the vote and compromise, but instead are weaseling their way on changing positions. It is a difficult issue, and many people are divided on the issue favoring environmental impact.
The Washington Post reported recently that Obama was getting more coverage then McCain on all the Publications and air time. On the same hand, talk radio have been unloading and dishing it out on Obama since the Interview of Pastor Warren at Saddleback Church.
The Percentage points are now even 46% to 45%, but some people undecided. I think people after the interview are now decided. One thing that is missing are the Independent or Libertarian Candidates running. The People have only two candidates to decide on.
One of the questions that McCain was asked was to define rich, and he said 5,000,000 candid.
So I guess when you want to sue a rich person, you sue him for 3 times the amount.
A bizarre question as Obama said that if you are making 150,000 and above. McCain talked about Republican views of keeping taxes low, but the reality is taxes are already high for personal income on all the brackets. To add the Real Estate Market has gone down to where 1 out of 494 houses have been foreclosed Nationally, and 1 out of 120 in California, Nevada is worse. The price of gas has affected the mortgage market on how expenses to work increased. To add, the Stock Market continues to decline down the 11,000 mark, and it has not been fully pointed out that the mortgage crisis has affected the stock market because people don’t have the extra cash from their property’s equity to invest in the market.
Off Shore drilling is not going to be a short term solution to the chain of high gas prices.
The Candidates have so many issues to deal with, and it is obvious that both characters differ. The people want solutions to the many crisis we have nationally. Pastor Warren did a magnificent job on asking the character questions to find out about the honesty and integrity of the two. Obama had it tough answering his abortion views to the Pastor. The Pastor asked McCain for him to point out one of his mistakes in his past that he regrets. McCain answered his first marriage, and how he handled it. At the same time, McCain is using both his wife and daughter to campaign with by making appearances and videos to promote his candidacy. The tactics of McCain have been unreal as the race issue continues to come up, and that automatically gives him 5% points. Talk Radio have many personalities criticizing Obama by some of Obama’s stances and statements, after the New Publications have more news to sway people to McCain’s advantage. This election is all about the status quote, and I don’t think people see the diversion of the election that I do. I notice that the McCain Candidacy is a Third Term Bush Administration. The Republicans have the fear propaganda going on all cylinders as McCain continues to say what he is going to do as President still using 9-11 as a tool all from the crimes. The Bush Administration have failed the American People on their inability to apprehend Osama Bin Laden.
