I watched with great interest Michelle Obama's speech at the Democratic National Convention in Denver last night and I was truly amazed. This is "The American Dream" come true if there is such a thing. From such humble beginnings, in a rough town, to be able to overcome such adversity and get a great education, become a successful lawyer and be hired by a very prestigious firm, then to decide to work for the needy and underprivileged in her hometown just blows my mind.
When you can turn away that huge paycheck and all the comforts and privileges that it can create for yourself and your family, to decide that helping others have a better world is more important, that is the greatest "Christian Value."
She will be a wonderful first lady!
In another area, however, my reasoning makes me very upset. A day or two earlier I saw on television some pundit trying to tie all democrats to the unfortunate happenings of John Edwards. I certainly can't condone his behavior, however, it seems to me to be almost exactly like the behavior of one John McCain. The big difference is that McCain actually divorced his wife to marry his lover.
It brings to mind several people like Newt Gingrich, Rush Limbaugh, the senator from Idaho and a few others.
Let me ask a simple question: Is it alright if a Republican behaves like that, but unforgivable when a Democrat does the same thing?
I prefer to believe that this is just plain "human behavior" that happens to quite a few, for many reasons beyond their control.
This should not be the main criticism, however, about their ability to lead and hold office.
