The Good Ship America
Oct 2 2008, 1:29 PM EDT | Post edited: Oct 2 2008, 1:29 PM EDT
Pithy debate/talking points for Barack Obama

America, we have a choice! Which skipper do you want at the helm of the Good Ship America?
Tidal waves and earthquakes of change have hit our shores. We have taken many blows.
9-11, Katrina, Rita and Ike, wars in Iraq, Afghanistan and possibly in Pakistan, mortgage, credit and Wall Street crises in the Financial Meltdown of 2008! In the last week, we have seen the meltdown of Wall Street and John McCain.
Which John McCain would be our president?
The McCain who says the economy is strong and deregulation is wrong?
Or McCain who says the economy is so shaky that he suspends his campaign, impulsively demands the resignation of the SEC Chairman, threatens to cancel the first debate, disses Letterman in favor of makeup with Couric, grandstands at the White house but says nothing for 40 mins, and then leaves it to Obama to attempt negotiation between red dog Republicans and neocon Bushmen!
Which skipper do we want? The McCain who can only spin one plate at a time, have only one old thought at a time (tax and spend, tax and spend etc)? Or Obama, who multitasks par excellence (witness the thoughtfulness, grace and consistency of his multi-pronged campaign), and is capable of holding multiple thoughts in his head and carefully sharing them?! Obama knows what a Blackberry can do for him. McCain only knows the blackberries in fruit salads.
