Actions Speak louder than words Barack.

Barack Obama lately has been trying to be the candidate that cares. He symphathizes for the middle class and sticks up for the little man the the goverment forgets. He has been the champaion for the common American, but actions speak louder that words. As Gustav has pummeled the gufl coast the cadidates have had two distincly diffrent reactions on their websites... see for you self.

McCain has set aside politics making this week not about him but about the victims of hurricane Gustav. But Obama seems too into himself to even mention the hurricane on the first page of www.barackobama.com. McCains actions speak much more loudly than Obamas rhetoric. So thumbs up to McCain who has remembered what many politicians forget, that the greatest leader is also the greatest servant.

Will RNC/Gustav help or hurt McCain?

Well I have talked about Gustav stalling the RNC, but will the lasting affect be positive or negative. The republicans have effectively turned the convention into a fundraiser for relief efforts in the gulf. Although the convention isn't getting any press at all and news stations have all but fogotten about the RNC. I think that this all might actually turn out to be great for republicans.

There is no way the republicans could have matched the glory and spectacle of the Democrat national convention in Denver. Instead of being compared to the DNC as dull and lame. The RNC will be hailed as a great humanitarian effort by the press. This is the break that republicans needed. Gustav will make headlines for the RNC and McCain will be along for the ride. Republicans needed the chance to show America that they actually do care about more things than Oil and War, and the republicans really seized the moment. They showed that they are ready to stop being republicans and be Americans when in great crises. I belive that in november voters will be impressed that republicans put nation before party and beable to look past the negitve propagand of the Democrats.
