Obama Alters Course

Obama had best look at what he is doing in making commments about Hillary Clinton that are really far fetched. He needs to be concentrating on giving us reasons to vote for him and not put his efforts into giving us reasons to not vote for Hillary Clinton. There needs to be a political "WhiteBoard" that every candidate should answer questions on. How do you feel about this topic and how do you feel about that topic. Let the people decide based upon "The Whiteboard" who gets in the "White House". I want facts on candidates and not opinions on them from their opponents. I also do not want to hear personal questions about candidates on "The WhiteBoard", its for the political stuff, we have the media for all the perosonal questions. Every week a candidate should be able to ask, and should ask, at least a few questions of anyone in the field and the field should be forced to respond. If they ignore "The WhiteBoard" and do not want their opinions placed in the public view then no public dollars. It will be interesting to watch these squirmy politicians try to wiggle and ignore what they have put on "The WhiteBoard". It will probably amaze people to see how opinions will change or morph in efforts to win their parties nomination and then move ever so close to the middle once they win the primary and take the run for the presidency or any other office for that matter. One of the things I actually like about John McCain is he states an opinion and usually sticks by it. Its one of the reasons he will never be a viable candidate for President. He just doesn't move around like a candidate should and some of his postions are just so unpopular, even within his party, that he becomes unelectable on a national level. Its a shame but he is a perfect example of why we need "The WhiteBoard" to track the opinions of these candidates and make sure they are not telling us one thing one day and another the next. Candidates who stick by their gut reactions don't have a chance in politics today because they simply are not accountable. Lets figure out a better way to look at what matters on paper (The WhiteBoard)and elect people that we know will do what we want them to do.
