Oprah says no to Palin, and gets an earful
This blog was about how Oprah denied Sarah Palin an interview on her show, and how all these moms and I guess other people too are all super pissed about it. I guess I think that it's good that Oprah is supporting who she wants to and is expressing her opinion through this. It's really lame how all these people who used to worship her and take her advice daily are now unsubscribing to her magazine and boycotting her show. These people feel like she's not respecting other people's opinions and really it's just her having an opinion, and them not respecting her's.

The next blog is about how Obama finally decided to point out one of the many lies put out there by McCain/Palin. This one was about how Palin was accusing Obama of wanting more earmarks and how she was all super anti earmarks but really in the past couple of years she put like $500 million into earmarks for Alaska. I think that this sort of lieing is done a lot in politics and campaigns, but I feel that McCain and his party are really going overboard.. I mean, you see all these commercials that are like "The only thing Obama wants to do is raise your taxes and eat your babies, but I, John McCain, want to like take away taxes and give everybody ice cream." Maybe that's exaggerated a little bit, but that is what it's starting to sound like. But I think that Palin shouldn't be making remarks like this to her crowd, it's very hyprocritical, but at least Obama pointed out the falsity in it.

I think that since these blogs started I have actually grown to have a real opinion in this race (thanks a lot stahley), that's why most of what I wrote are mainly about how I don't like McCain and his party. I didn't watch the RNC at all. I was playing video games while my parents watched it in the other room, so I heard nearly all of McCain and Palin's speeches. I was not impressed. Almost everything that I heard was like what I mentioned before; instead of talking to the crowd about what they have to offer, it was more about how evil their opponent is. I suppose that's how it's always been, but I don't see Obama pulling this stunt half as much or as bad as I see McCain pulling it. I think that what McCain has been doing is really unprofessional and kind of immature, and everything that I've been hearing, and reading all of these blogs is making me like Obama more and more.
