Duh, I'm pretty sure I have an internet connection, otherwise I'm typing on this keyboard for nothing. Yep, yep, I can read. Obama doesn't bring his ideas for change to his speeches because he will then have to explain them fully in an open forum. He will have to field questions and inform the public at what he might deem an impromptu moment. It's one thing to sit at one's desk and put down on paper what you feel might be an adequate solution to a problem, and a totally different situation to have someone throw a wrench into your carefully planned thought with a question you might not have ever anticipated. A presidential candidate must be willing and able to openly discuss his/her ideas for change, and be willing to adapt his solutions for change if there is a better option offered.
As far as I know, we are having an open discussion on a subject, exchanging our ideas and opinions freely. There is no room here for attitudes like yours, just because we disagree on some issues. I'm sure we both want what we feel is best for the future of our country at a crucial point in history.
What most people seem to forget is, what a thorn John McCain has been in the side of the present administration. Bush certainly loathes McCain, and that to me, is a good thing. It shows how much McCain has gotten under his skin by opposing his administration. There is no love lost between these two men.
