Obama/Biden verses McCain/Palin, what if things were switched around?..........Think about it! Would the country's collective point of view be different?
What if the Obama's had paraded 5 children across the stage, including a 3 month old infant and an unwed pregnant teenage daughter?
What if John McCain was a former president of the Harvard Law Review?
What if Barack Obama finished 5th from the bottom of this graduating class?
What if John McCain had only married once, and Obama was a divorcee?
What if Barack Obama was the candidate who left his 1st wife after a severe disfiguring car accident?
What if Barack Obama had met his 2nd wife in a bar and had a long affair while he was still married?
What if Michelle Obama was the wife who not only became addicted to painkillers but also acquired them illegally through her charitable organization?
What if Cindy McCain graduated from Harvard?
What if Barack Obama had been a member of the Keating Five? (The Keating Five were 5 United States Senators accused of corruption in 1989, igniting a major political scandal as a part of the savings and loan crisis in the late 1980's and early 90's).
What if John McCain was a charismatic, eloquent speaker?
What if Barack Obama couldn't read from a teleprompter?
What if Barack Obama was the one who had military experience that included discipline problems and a record of crashing planes? (September issue of Rolling Stone magazine gave a detailed biography of John McCain and this is recorded in the article)
What if Michelle Obama's family had made their money from beer distribution?
The above is something to reflect on AND a reminder that the world views certain issues and character studies in a different way. If the shoe had been placed on the other foot, Barack Obama would not have made it this far. We have to keep reminding ourselves that nothing has truly changed, but CHANGE IS ON THE HORIZON.
