Barack Obama blows away David Letterman with his deft and humorous handling of the 'Lipstick on a Pig' fiasco while impressing everyone, including myself, with his authenticity, values, connection, trust, strong identity, intelligence and obvious sense of humor as well as making his key campaign points: Allen L Roland

George Lakoff has written ~ " voters vote for a president not primarily on the issues, but on five other 'character' factors; values; authenticity; communication and connection; trust; and identity." http://www.truthout.org/article/dont-think-a-maverick

Now watch Barack Obama project all of these values on the David Letterman show plus a wonderful sense of humor, a strong sense of self worth and an invigorating intellect ~ which by itself puts him at the head of the class ~ and will soon be on full display during the upcoming debates.

Now compare that with the lies and deceptions of the McCain/Palin ticket where John McCain is already exhibiting at least five symptoms of dementia including impaired reasoning ~ witness his selection of Sarah Palin as VP as added testimony to the ongoing dumbing down of the Republican Party by George W Bush and now John McCain.

The Obama / McCain debates will make this Presidential comparison quite obvious to most Americans and the Biden/ Palin debate will further clarify Palin's ignorance and lack of substance as a political leader when compared to Joe Biden.

For example ~ A majority of voters, 60 percent, think that Biden is qualified to be president, while 31 percent think he is not. By comparison, 48 percent of voters think Palin is qualified, while 44 percent think she is not . http://www.truthout.org/article/poll-biden-better-prepared
Obama's not so secret weapon will be that moderate Republicans are leaving the McCain/Palin ticket in droves and are voting for the Obama/Biden ticket. http://www.truthout.org/article/republicans-jumping-ship

We have had eight years of lies, distortions and impaired reasoning by the Bush administration and the John McCain camp appears to be in lock step with them ~ See proof http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IH0xzsogzAk

It's time for a President we can finally respect and be proud of and the only true Presidential candidate, in that regard, is Barack Obama.
