How do you pick a President?

This campaign seem weird to me - am I the only one?

There is no doubt - Good Morning America wants Hilary so bad they can taste it, because she is a woman. They even had an interview with her last week picking out clothes and talking about how she seems like a girlfriend by the end of the interview --- HEY, SO VOTE FOR SOMEONE FOR PRESIDENT BECAUSE THEY MAKE A GOOD GIRLFRIEND!!!

Rush hates Obama because he is black, and others don't like him because he is not black enough, and others because his name doesn't sound Christian -- HEY, DON'T VOTE FOR BLACK PEOPLE -- ESPECIALLY IF THEY AREN'T CHRISTIAN -- UNLESS THEY ARE VERY BLACK!!!

What ever happened to thinking about whether someone would make a good president -and having reasons pertaining to the job requirements only - being considered?? Seemed like that was what we talked about when Jimmy Carter, Regan, Bush 1, Clinton 1, and Bush 2 were running -- I don't remember discussing their personal traits - or having them presented just because of them.

I thought race and sex discrimination were illegal - and frankly tired and out of date... Don't get me wrong, I fully realize that does not hold true for everyone -- but I sure thought it would for the Public Speakers of the nation...

But it sure seems to be what the current deciding factors of this campaign are all about to the people folks listen to.

Hmmm...
