It's a shame that the American people have to endure all the campaign rhetoric and listen to the two presidential candidates and soon to be their vice presidential picks who will only add more to the criticizing and stage craft that focuses more on the weaknesses of the other candidates. It would be pleasing to hear what each candidate has to offer in terms of how he proposes to fix our country. It's amazing to me that Joe Biden and John McCain have been friends for so many years and now that Senator Biden is a vice presidential candidate he started his first day on television criticizing Senator McCain. By the way, I'm a veteran of the Vietnam war and clearly heard Senator Bidens comment that Senator McCain was only a war hero and what we need is a leader.
I think any war hero is a leader and should be commended. I'm sure I wasn't the only American veteran listening. The American people need to know what each candidate plans to do about the following which is only a few of the problems we face.
1. How do you propose to pull our country out of the recession we're in which is hurting everyone?
2. How do you propose to fix the energy crisis which needs immediate attention?
3. How do you plan to correct the health care problems facing the entire nation?
4. How do you propose to handle the foreclosure disaster which is destroying our country?
5. Do you plan to do anything about the poverty within the United States?
6. How do you plan to get job creation going again before everyone in our country faces poverty?
7. The Christian values which you both proclaim to have can be shown much clearer by your actions than by your words.
8. What is your stand on abortion and stem cell research which are two other big concerns in our country?
9. Where do you stand on foreign issues and how do you plan to show strength as well as compassion in dealing with other nations?
These are just a few of the issues facing our nation today but they are very important ones and need to be addressed honestly. Again, the American people deserve honest answers and not political ploy. While Obama is trying to blame John McCain for everything that George Bush has done over the past eight years he needs to remember that Senator McCain has stood against Bush many times but he cannot control him any better than Obama could control his preacher Jerimiah or the other preachers condemning America. This is probably one of the most important elections this country has ever had and whoever wins has his work cut out for him. Please Americans, listen to what the candidates are proposing, not just their ridicule.

I haven't written a book on politics yet but I am gathering a lot of facts and information in preparation for writing a hard cover book in the very near future.
Resources: The best resources to count on now comes from the vast news coverage on CNN, FOX, and all the major news channels. They tend to show what the candidates are actually saying whereas the books, the internet, and the magazines have a better opportunity to tweak what is being said. Also, there seems to be a lot of coverage heading into the conventions and the fall debates. Listen closely!
