The final Presidential Debate

I know I'm late putting this post up, but I've been on the road all day and finally had a chance to sit down at the computer and relax while inhaling some BK.

I don't care what the political pundits in the liberal media say, I don't think Obama won the presidential debachle. I have to give the win to Joe the Plumber.

McCain's performance last night can be compared to a bottle rocket. He started off strong, made a crack, and fell softly to the ground. At first, McCain was aggressive and for the first time I thought that Obama was going to have his ass handed to him, but McCain just didn't follow up on the jabs leaving Obama unbruised. Compared to the previous presidential debachles, McCain did a little better but I was still disappointed.

Obama looked like a deer caught in headlights for most of the debate and spoke as if he were caught off guard for the first 30 minutes. Other than having to be on the defensive most of the night and having no capability of taking control of the debate, Senator Government merely stuck to his usual playbook: talk in circles and don't answer the question. Because that's exactly what America needs!

The candidates debate again

...and this was one pitiful debate. Neither one of the candidates said anything new or significantly unique outside their normal talking points. The debate neither hurt nor helped either candidate's campaign last night. It was a total joke and a big disappointment.

I had to take a picture of this while in DC

As an accountant, I had to pay homage to the beaurocracy that pays my bills:

The non-political Washington, DC continued

The Wall

The non-political Washington, DC continued

The Korean War Veterans Memorial - now they're no longer forgotten, and neither is the war.

The Lincoln Memorial

The greatest joy I had this past weekend was teaching my daughter about some of the greatest Presidents of our nation. Before this trip to DC, she only knew Lincoln as the guy on the penny. After this trip, she knows him as the man who started the equal rights movement for minorities. Even though he wasn't the first President to acknowledge that no matter what one's color is that person is human and should be granted the same rights as white people (read Adams' memoirs), he was the first one to do something about it. I often scoff at politicians when they discuss Lincoln and his greatness because few have the guts to stand up to do what's right. Here is a man who went to great lengths to do what was right and knew the price tag that came with doing the right thing.
