Letter from Illinois - Part 6

From Joes' Letter:
Friends, I'll be forthright with you - I believe the American voters who are supporting Barack Obama don't have a clue what they're doing, as evidenced by the fact that not one of them - NOT ONE of them I've spoken to can spell out his qualifications. Not even the most liberal media can explain why he should be elected. Political experience? Negligible. Foreign relations? Non-existent. Achievements? Name one. Someone who wants to unite the country? If you haven't read his wife's thesis from Princeton , look it up on the web. This is who's lining up to be our next First Lady? The only thing I can glean from Obama's constant harping about change is that we're in for a lot of new taxes.
For me, the choice is clear. I've looked carefully at the two leading
applicants for the job, and I've made my choice.

From me:
Joe, if your reason for using "Friends" in a sentence was to send folks like me up the wall, you have succeeded. If there is any reason not to elect John McCain it would be so that we would never have to hear him say "My friends" again. Jesh.
I'm an American voter who is supporting Barack Obama, and I have a clue what I'm doing. Per your request, I've supplied some of Obama's qualifications.
It's impressive that you have such knowledge of the 'most liberal media' that you know they cannot explain why he should be elected. I'll bet you're wrong on this one. I'll bet you that Keith Olbermann and Rachel Maddow can talk you down on that one.
As for your evaluations of Political experience, foreign relations and achievements, well we'll just leave that very long discussion for another day.
For me the choice is equally clear. I've looked closely at the applicants, and I've voted.
