I was listening to a sports radio show yesterday on my way to lunch with Senor Miguel and heard this little tidbit. Apparently, after the Tampa Bay Rays earned their first World Series appearance Barack Obama went down to Tampa and stated his support for the Rays. However, the previous week he had gone to Philadelphia to state his support for the Phillies.
W.T.F.. That perturbs me quite a bit. On issues that MATTER (like economy, health care, foreign relations, etc.) I expect candidates to waffle between opinions; since they will eventually tow the party line or try to cater to public opinion. But to be as trivial as this to garner votes is unacceptable. You support one or the other. I will quote one of my favorite bible quotes:
"So then because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spew you out of my mouth."
Revelations 3:16
Barack, I am about to spew you out. Look, there are some things that are instrinsic to people that you can't be on the fence with. You are either on the side of good or evil, war or peace, coke or pepsi, McDonald's or Burger King, Sunny D or that "purple stuff". There is a fork in the road on these issues and you can only choose one road.

i'm kind of disappointed to hear that about obama. john kerry - of course but not obama. maybe he did it to show support in a pat-on-the-back kind of way, not as a way to back them up.
blasphemy
