Hello Jeff,

 AP>>> After working for 18 years in the City Jail as a Booking Floor
 AP>>> Supervisor, Obama sounds more and more like some of the "smooth
 AP>>> talkers" I encountered.

 JS>       I remember a time when a politician actually meant some of what
 JS> they said. Nowadays they are more sales persons. The only real
 JS> differance is they say what needs to be said to get votes instead of
 JS> dollars.

I didn't mean to post this message in here.. I was setting up golded one day 
and I must have saved instead of exited.. Opps.. :)

But since we're on the subject.. We have an election coming up here too.. Not 
very exciting though, I've been watching Obama and McCain more than our own 
leaders (or lack there of).

 AP>>> I just can't put my finger on what it is... but I don't trust
 AP>>> him.  I have caught several flip flops in his speaches.  He
 AP>>> seems to say just what the crowd wants to hear.

 JS>     I don't care if the politician smoked pot once in their youth or
 JS> commited some sexual act they probably shouldn't have.  Honesty,
 JS> experience and the ability to lead are the main factors to consider
 JS> IMHO.

Are you talking about Bill (I never had sex with that woman) Clinton.. :) This 
probably belongs in one of the politics echoes.. :)

 Ttyl :-),
         Al

... You don't get once-in-a-lifetime offers like this every day.
