Obama. It's obvious to me by his speech this evening that, he's going to be rewarded some way by a "cabinet appointment" by Sen. McCain. It's sad that he's "sucking " up to McCain. If in fact that the things that "Trader Joe" said in his speech about the goings on in Washington which McCain Has been a part of for almost 30 plus years,which "Begs the question" as to why does it have to take McCain being President to actually "shake It Up ???" "Trader Joe" Please ,Please, Don't ever say that your an "independent" Democrat ! ! ! Because you've lost your way! ! ! As to Gov. Palen there's a real "roll model" for all young women to aspire too.
