McCain Praises Obama at NAACP Convention

Ok, first off, what is with John McCain? He seems to say about anything lately. Oh wait, that's what he normally does.

Last week, McCain threw his economic adviser Phil Gramm (fmr. Texas senator) under the bus.

"You've heard of mental depression; this is a mental recession," Gramm said. "We may have a recession; we haven't had one yet."

"We have sort of become a nation of whiners. You just hear this constant whining, complaining about a loss of competitiveness, America in decline. We've never been more dominant; we've never had more natural advantages than we have today. We have benefited greatly"

He later went on.

"Misery sells newspapers. Thank God the economy is not as bad as you read in the newspaper every day."

Shortly after these quotes were said, Barack Obama went on attack mode, and why shouldn't he? It is just fresh meat. But what is troublesome is that McCain practically did the same thing by renouncing these comments.

This brings me to the present. John McCain practically endorsed Obama at the NAACP Convention in Cincinnati on Wednesday.

"Don't tell him I said this, but he (Obama) is an impressive fellow in many ways. He has inspired a great many Americans, some of whom had wrongly believed that a political campaign could hold no purpose or meaning for them," McCain said. "His success should make Americans, all Americans, proud. Of course, I would prefer his success not to continue quite as long as he hopes, but it does make you and me proud to know the country I've loved and served all my life is still a work in progress and always improving. Senator Obama talks about making history, and he's made quite a bit of it already. Whatever the outcome in November, Senator Obama has achieved a great thing -- for himself and for his country -- and I thank him for it."

It's to bad Obama doesn't hand out the same praise. All he says about McCain is that if McCain wins it would be "Bush's third term."

Please, tell me more. And, something I don't already know.

It is nice that McCain is a nice guy. And, he did pick a great place to praise Obama. But what is with him in the great scheme of things. Who is John McCain? And as I am asking questions, who is Barack Obama? Will we find out in time for election day? Probably not. Come November, these may be the worst choices for President of the United States, ever.
