I was already convinced that the McCain campaign is committed to running the most negative and divisive presidential campaign in American history, but hearing that the McCain camp had prepared two separate scripts, one criticizing Obama if he went to the Landstuhl military hospital and one if he didn't, being able to essentially nail Obama either way, is proof positive that McCain and his crew has decided to say and will say anything to get elected.

I am so anxious to see a face-to-face debate between the two candidates. Yes, Obama slips up from time to time, but his gaffes are relatively minor and certainly not meant to be deliberate attacks against McCain or of a malicious nature. But McCain doesn't seem to speak for his own campaign. He seems to sit back, allow his henchmen to do the dirty work, and then flash his smarmy smile, say a lot of "my friends," and try to appear to stay above the fray.

I can only imagine the future debate that Obama and McCain will eventually have. Brian Williams asks John McCain "Senator McCain, do you now stand behind your attacks against Senator Obama where you have said that Senator Obama is not a patriot, has no significant experience and doesn't have a clue what's going on in Iraq and Afghanistan?"

"Well, Brian, I frankly don't know where you got that quote. I have never said such cruel things, and to the best of my knowledge, no one on my behalf has said such things, either. But I would like to say that Senator Obama is quite naive and doesn't understand what's going on in the Middle East. Now I don't question the senator's patriotism, but Barack Hussein Obama -- er, Senator Obama is well-meaning, but he should leave the war strategy to those of us who wore the uniform."

Tom Brokaw turns to Barack and says, "Senator Obama, I will start with you first, but I will ask the same question of Senator McCain. What do you plan to do in your first ten days if you should become President Obama?"

"Tom, as I've said before, this country is in need of dramatic change. In my first ten days, I will gather my team together and we will immediately assess what issues need to be tackled in terms of their severity and importance. I will also meet immediately with my close military advisors and the Joint Chiefs and begin the process of removing troops from Iraq and rotating many of them into Afghanistan. Beyond that, my administration will be one of immediacy, quick and decisive action and determining how we can make the quickest impact to this country."

"Senator McCain."

"What was the question, Tom?"

"What do you plan to do in your first ten days if you should become President McCain?"

"Tom, if I should become the president, I would call on my many years of experience, both in the US Senate and before that wearing the uniform of this country. This gives me the wisdom and background to be an effective leader. I will make sure to meet with my newly appointed Iraq and Afghanistan war czars respectively. Senator Obama is not equipped to run our country, nor does he carry the inherent expience to understand the needs of the American people."

"Senator McCain," interrupts Brian Williams," please stick to the question."

"What was the question?"

"What would you do in the first ten days of holding office?"

"Oh, didn't I answer that? Well, I have a lot of things to do. Being president is a large job, and I'm ready to take it on. I have been preparing for it my entire life. Senator Obama has had very little time in the Senate, and he is a gifted speaker. There's no question about that, but words are just not enough. I have been to Iraq almost twenty times. I know better than anyone what is good for them, and he went there once and couldn't even take any time to speak to the troops. What kind of leader is he? He's one that doesn't know what the troops really want."

I do have a fertile mind, but you get my drift. Let the games begin.
