Intellect..Something a little different

I'm sure you know by now the first Presidential debate of the 2008 race is tonight..I just wanted to encourage you to watch it. In less than 2 hours from now, these candidates will attempt to further explain their views and what they stand for. It's more important as the United States' financial issues are more of a problem than ever.. Take notice and educate yourself on one of our futures presidents. I will have my review of how it went down after the debate.

Intellect..Biden gives the Thumbs Down to McCain Ad

Barack Obama's running mate says a campaign ad that mocked Republican presidential candidate John McCain as an out-of-touch, out-of-date computer illiterate was "terrible" and would not have been done had he known about it.

He admits he still doesn't know how to use a computer, can't send an e-mail, still doesn't understand the economy, and favors $200 billion in new tax cuts for corporations, but almost nothing for the middle class," the ad says.

Asked about the negative tone of the campaign, and this ad in particular, during an interview broadcast Monday by the "CBS Evening News," Obama's running mate, Sen. Joe Biden, said he disapproved of it.

"I thought that was terrible, by the way," Biden said.
Asked why it was done, he said: "I didn't know we did it, and if I had anything to do with it, we'd have never done it."

Late Monday, Obama campaign spokesman Bill Burton issued a statement from Biden. In it, Biden said he "was asked about an ad I'd never seen" and was "reacting merely to press reports."
Biden said that, as he said in the interview, there was nothing "intentionally personal" in the criticism of McCain's views.


"Having now reviewed the ad, it is even more clear to me that given the disgraceful tenor of Sen. McCain's ads and their persistent falsehoods, his campaign is in no position to criticize, especially when they continue to distort Barack's votes on an issue as personal as keeping kids safe from sexual predators," Biden said.

Biden was referring to a McCain ad that said Obama supported sex education for kindergartners, based on a bill he voted for as an Illinois state senator. Obama's campaign said the ad was a "shameful" distortion of his record because the bill's language meant young children would have been taught about sexual predators and concepts such as "good touch and bad touch."

This is what I don't get, this ad has been out for awhile know why is he just now making a fuss about it? I personally don't think the add is that bad compared to all the negative adds McCain has done. Plus, there are some voter out there who don't know who to use computers..that can actually be a positive for him. Whatever..but what do you think. Was the ad "Terrible" like Biden says? hit me up and let me know.

Intellect.. Cindy Mccain post "The View" Comments

I don't know if you heard or not, but Cindy McCain was on "The View" and was a little upset about the so called "grilling" of her and John when they hit the couches. This video also brings up some other issues. Peep the vid..

First of all, I saw the whole interview, and I didn't think there were any questions at all that were hard, that she felt the need to be angry about. Yes, I want to know everything about any potential Presidential candidate. They have watched the show before, they knew they are big Barack supporters. Secondly, as it pertains to the Showbiz Tonight piece. WTH was the black lady on before the interview. I understand she gets paid for her opinion but "chillax".

If you didn't see the whole John and Cindy McCain interview in "The View" here are the links for the interview.

Part 1
Part 2
Part 3

So what did you think about the interview, and Cindy McCain's thoughts? Hit me up and let me know.

Intellect.

Being a woman that's really trying to do the career thing, this election has really got me digging for answers to all my questions. I think every election should be like that but especially this one. So, my question that I was digging for yesterday was where the candidates stood on equal salary pay for all genders and races.

In any case both candidates talk the "Big" talk on giving women equal salary pay. As a voter, I don't want the talk I want the action.

The opportunity was given to both candidates to vote on legislation recently, that would have made it easier for women to sue their employers for pay discrimination.

So when all the talking was said and done Obama supported the bill; and McCain opposed it.

"I'll continue to stand up for equal pay as president - Senator McCain won't, and that's a real difference in this election," Obama said.

McCain has said he supports equal pay for women but had said the measure would lead to more lawsuits.

Obviously, I don't know the ends and outs of the piece of legislation, but what I do know is women have been getting the short end of the stick for decades when it comes to salaries and it is still a major problem.

At least, Obama is proving how serious he is by supporting legislation that tries to get women where they want to be. (Seen as equals on ALL fronts)
