McCain and Peace Corps.
http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2008/07/21/politics/uwire/main4280804.shtml

Someone sent an article about Obama and Peace Corps (sorta about Peace Corps I guess, I didn't see us mentioned in his speech at all), so I was curious about McCain's standpoint and.. the articles, even CBS, which I believe is a republican station, makes him sound really really dumb, clueless, arrogant, and etc... "The solution to high tuition costs, due to stupid budgeting and money to war instead of education is to think that kid will join the military or Peace Corps because it's popular...."
Obama's speech was Amazing! I can't watch the video, but reading it was great.

I'm just saying, McCain may have his goals, but they are all talk because you know what?! Peace Corps worldwide is going through a gigantic budget cut, and us in Romania will be getting about 1/2 the volunteers we have been getting and we have to lay off some of our staff here. Right McCain, this is your solution.

But I can't help but wonder, shouldn't these stations be showing him in a good light? CBS..? I can't believe that they would write these stories unless there was a motive to show him this badly.
Obama looks amazing now, and McCain...it makes me wonder if there's a conspiracy almost, just because of how Good Obama looks, and how dumb McCain looks. I dear hope Obama is a truly good guy. He came into the US like my family, immigation, and having parents who wanted a better life. My grandparents worked in the fields too, so I, like Obama, use our grandparents' and parents' sacrafice to want to make the world better for people who want to be able to have freedom, choices, security, and food.
