John McCain’s last words were that he would protect the veterans. What is his voting record on veteran healthcare? Has Senator McCain truly supported veterans in this country from the Iraq war? I understand that he has voted against key veteran’s bills such as healthcare and educational benefits over the years. He has not been a friend to the veterans of this country. Coming from West Virginia I had close friends that served in the Vietnam War and I can say that they deserve their benefits.
McCain should learn to look at Senator Obama when he is talking to him. He would not look at the camera or Senator Obama. Senator McCain was too busy looking down his nose at this country to see the voters. Senator McCain is arguing over pork spending which is only 2% of the national budget while Senator Obama wanted to talked about ending the war in Iraq which could save this country ten million dollars a day. Clearly Senator McCain is not very knowledgeable on economic issues. McCain is stuck in the past while Senator Obama is looking toward the future of America.
Senator McCain was not able to see the problem of limiting his vision to only the Iraq War while the rest of the world is falling apart. What he does not see is that the threat from terrorism is not coming from Iraq. Taking your eyes of the ball could clearly end very badly for this country both with future harm and with our economy.
Senator Obama made points when talking about investing in rebuilding our country from the ground up since we all know what trickle down economics can result in over the long run and our economy is not stable enough to withstand those results at present.

Quotes:
Senator Edward M. Kennedy (Teddy)
"For all those whose cares have been our concern, the work goes on, the cause endures, the hope still lives and the dream shall never die."
The O'Coilean (O'Collins)
'A great host with whom it is not fortunate to contend, the battle-trooped host of the O'Coileain."
Abraham Lincoln
"With malice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in, to bind up the nation's wounds, to care for him who shall have borne the battle and for his widow and his orphan, to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace among ourselves and with all nations."
From NPR Radio
"Rosa sat so Martin could walk.
Martin walked so Obama could run.
Obama ran so our children can fly!"
Ralph Waldo Emerson
"I awoke this morning with devout thanksgiving for my friends, the old and the new."

"Friendship is loving someone no matter what is in their past. It is accepting the fact that they are human and that they have made their share of mistakes over a life time. Trust is being able to tell your friend the most private secret knowing that they will not judge you. A life is not lived well without that one true and trusted friendship."
Mary Harris "Mother" Jones
"My job is to comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable"
Albert Einstein
"Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind."
Will Rogers
"I don't belong to an organized party--I'm a democrat."
President John F. Kennedy, Democrat
“If by a ‘liberal’ they mean someone who looks ahead and not behind, someone who welcomes new ideas without rigid reactions, someone who cares about the welfare of the people—their health, their housing, their schools, their jobs, their civil rights, and their civil liberties—someone who believes we can break through the stalemate and suspicions that grip us in our policies abroad, if that is what they mean by a ‘Liberal,’ then I’m proud to say I’m a ‘Liberal.’”
Martin Luther King Jr.
"Faith is taking the first step, even when you don't see the whole staircase."
Lora O'Brien
"All I can do is share one person's experiences on her own path, not tell you how to walk yours. If a guru is what you are looking for, find another! If I am a teacher, it is because I am already walking the path that you, Dear Reader, may wish to be on. Although each of us must make our own way, I can put up signs at least, and make the way slightly less hazardous for those who wish to walk a similar path."
C. S. Lewis
"Affection is responsible for nine-tenths of whatever solid and durable happiness there is in our lives."
