I’d love to know what impact the hit show ‘24′ has had on this current US presidential election. Barack Obama is on the brink of becoming the first African American President of the United States of America. But how much has the electability of an African American been shaped - subconsciously at least - by a certain President Palmer.
It is probably impossible to ever fully know, but I am convinced that on some levels President Palmer has helped ease open the door for President Obama.
Mid-speech recently John McCain hit a line which said something along the lines of ‘just who is Barack Obama?’ Before he had a chance to continue, someone in the crowd yelled out ‘terrorist’.
The McCain camp’s only aim right now seems to be to try and convince people that Obama is a friends of terrorists. It is, quite simply, a lie. A sickening lie. And does John McCain really want to foster such anger in people that they seriously start to think Obama is a terrorist?
You would have thought that, for the sake of honour at least, McCain would rein things back in. Sadly not. He is fueling it even further as the below ad he released today shows.
Frankly, I think this is sickening. I thought McCain was a pretty decent guy even though I disagree with him on various fronts. Now he practically has zero respect from me.
I suspect we are about to see the dirtiest few weeks in American political history as McCain is simply desperate to win no matter the cost. No matter the harm and devisions he causes.
Here’s to hoping that dirty politics doesn’t win the day.
And this is simply horrible. Again, is this really the type of legacy McCain wants to leave?
