Saddleback Civil Forum on the Presidency

This segment shows how thoughtful and careful Sen. Barack Obama is in his decisions. It shows that Sen. Barack Obama does not jump into a decision just because it is popular at the moment.

If you watch this segment and compare it to how John McCain answered these questions by Rick Warren who is the founder and senior pastor of the 22,000 member Saddleback Church in Lake Forest, California and who is also a member of the Republican Chistian Coalition, you will notice, that McCain answers quick without even thinking about the question.

Does this mean
John McCain is smarter, more experienced or does it mean he does not know what to say and therefore uses only his campaign slogans? Doesn't this sound more like the same as President Bush? (recall the 2000 election, when Bush was telling us he would become a moderate President) As President J.W. Bush, John McCain often does not either understand the questions asked or he does not want to answer them because the questions are inconvenient.John McCain as does J.W. Bush always talk about things that are save to talk about without getting in trouble.

On the other hand, Sen. Barack Obama wants his audience to get to know him in person. He wants people to see the real Barack Obama who cares about them and their problems and not just paint a pretty picture of himself. Not like John McCain who seems to be afraid about people finding out something unknown about him. John McCain wants to keep the pretty picture of an American War-Hero.

Do we want a War-Hero (who scares us and leads us into another war) or someone who care about us and our life?

Just watch the video and you may understand what I talked about!
