"Unlike many prominent Obama supporters - including Caroline Kennedy and Missouri Sen. Claire McCaskill - who said they came to support Obama at the urging of their children, Eisenhower did so by her own grown-up accord. "

Another excerpt:
"You'll have to forgive me for being an Eisenhower Republican," joked Susan Eisenhower, granddaughter of the former five-star general and two-term Republican president. The man who had helped lead America to victory over the forces of Axis darkness during World War II, then oversaw a period of unprecedented prosperity and suburban satisfaction during the 1950s."

Ike must be spinning in his grave. Obabma stands for everything opposite of what Ike stood for. If Obama is the future, America will be going down hill very fast.

"But that administration stood for multilateral engagement, balancing the budget. They were the party of civil rights, they were the party of environmental progress. That was the Republican Party of the 1950s. I think you can make the case that doesn't sound like the Republican Party we know today."

It also doesn't sound like Obama - The real Obama. His proposals will break the budget, not balance it; his radical views on infanticide and abortion will further fuel the sad culture of death; his environmental proposals are pie-in-the-sky and he will not come through. Obama is all hat and no cattle. Should either major party win, America loses, big time.

Thanks to our fellow Americans, it WILL be McCain or Obama. There is no question about that; the question is, will we refrain from voting, or write in someone who does not stand a chance? That allows the Christian right and the radicals to sway the vote, in my opinion. I do find it interesting that so many folks are crossing parties this time; this lady is just one of them. I have much admiration for her grandfather; he was a military genius. Thanks, Pamela.

The "None Of The Above" choice should be available on the ballot. Both parties have let America down. I will write in a third party candidate.
