LOL - no problem Jeff. I can totally relate to what you wrote. I was attracted to Obama when I heard his speech at the Democratic Convention, and then a later speech on balancing religion and politics. Then along came the Donnie McClurkin fiasco, Farrakhan piece in Trumpet magazine etc etc.
I am now pretty much satisfied with Obama's explanations and think his character and stance on major issues outweigh the negative. I truly hope that he really is "his own man" and will follow through on the real changes he speaks about.
I totally agree as well that the Clinton / Obama debate last night was a refreshingly dignified and in stark contrast to the GOP. There is no perfect candidate, but for the time being, Obama appears to be the best that has come along in a long time. IMHO!
Now can we just get rid of the Electoral college's antiquated way of choosing our next president?
Here's a link to a good article in our local paper about it:
