Random Political Headlines

The Presidential campaign of Illinois Senator Barack Obama has seemed to be rather interesting over the last few weeks. After weeks of being the front runner for the Democratic nomination, things seemed to change a bit after Obama's pastor made some questionable comments. Just a day ago, Obama received a key endorsement by New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson. Richardson, should in all likelihood, help Obama gain votes among the American Latino population. Obama did the right thing standing behind his pastor, no matter the degree of ludicrousy of his comments, Obama showed that there actually is loyalty somewhere in the political world. Let's face it, nobody is perfect, especially politicians. However, it is good to see a candidate stand behind their decisions and not make excuses for their stupidity. If you are looking for a perfect candidate, one without any skeletons in their closet, you are about as dumb as Donald Trump is rich. If you have gazed at CNN or MSNBC over the last few days, you have seen the pastor chaos, Geraldine Ferraro spurting garbage and the faithful New York Governor auditions where two candidates have already been eliminated. Politics is about negative publicity, nobody has ever succeeded in politics praising their opponent. How can I forget to mention John McCain, who received very positive criticism over his well thought out comments concerning Iran. I'm sorry, that was a lie, even I can pretend I am a politician every now and again. It is pretty sad when a Presidential candidate fails to remember who the players are in the Iraq war. Perhaps, important knowledge is no longer relevant in politics.
