Obama Stands By “Spread the Wealth” Comment

Many have questioned Obama’s “spread the wealth” answer to Joe the plumber’s question.  He has been getting hammered by the McCain campaign and even appears to be losing some ground in the polls.  Obama’s tax plan is being evaluated as bad for business since two-thirds of businesses would face a tax increase on their profits.  Still, Obama continues to stand by his comments that spreading the wealth is a good strategy.  This video seems a bit edited, if someone has a link to a more complete one, please post it in the comments and I’ll update this post.

Obama has Uncomfortable Visit in North Carolina Restaurant

I happened upon this story that shows just how divided the electorate is in many states.  Obama went to a barbecue restaurant in Fayetteville, N.C.  A customer there started shouting “Socialist”, only to have someone else respond “At least he’s not a warmonger.”  Later, the presidential candidate attempted to shake the customer’s hand, only to be refused.

The voters who have decided on McCain or Obama definately have their passions.  Those that are undecided probably can’t help but feel a bit uncomfortable being in the middle.  There are still many voters that either candidate can win the hearts of.  The polls continue to tighten, making every voter an important commodity.

Zogby Polls Narrow to Under 3 Points

The latest Zogby pollshows McCain has decreased his deficit to only 2.7% (within the error margin of 2.9%).  This continues the 4 day trend of a narrowing Obama lead by the Zogby poll.  McCain’s biggest gains have been in the independent voter category, cutting in half the gap there from 16% to 8%.

It appears that recent events, such as ACORN and Obama’s gaffe with Joe the Plumber are starting to show in the polls.  McCain’s appearance on Letterman seems to have gone over well, helping his cause.  Neither candidate should feel safe with 7.1% of the electorate still undecided.  Once again, this race is taking on the look of a close run to the finish.

Racist Obama Effigy Hanging from Noose in Tree

I am certainly no fan of Obama, but it has nothing to do with his race.  I believe racism is wrong (and it also goes both ways).  I’m not sure if this report is for real or if it is someone just trying to get a rise out of people, but either way it’s wrong.

An Ohio resident has hung an effigy of Obama in a noose on his property (video below).  While I respect everyone’s right to express themselves, this makes me disgusted.  It is sad to see this happen in our state.  And, look at this blog posting and see this blog report to observe the two-way nature of this rediculous nonsense.  Sorry folks, but this outlandish racism needs to stop from both parties!
