Points to Ponder....

Ponder the following:

What if the Obamas had paraded five children across the

stage, including a three month old infant and an unwed, pregnant

teenage daughter?


What if John McCain was a former president of the Harvard Law Review?


What if Barack Obama finished fifth from the bottom of his graduating

class?


What if McCain had only married once, and Obama was a divorcee?



What if Obama was the candidate who left his first wife after a severe

disfiguring car accident, when she no longer measured up to his

standards?


What if Obama had met his second wife in a bar and had a long affair

while he was still married?


What if Michelle Obama was the wife who not only became addicted to

pain killers but also acquired them illegally through her charitable

organization?


What if Cindy McCain graduated from Harvard?


What if Obama had been a member of the Keating Five? (The Keating Five were five United States Senators accused of corruption in 1989, igniting a major political scandal as part of the larger Savings and Loan crisis of the late 1980s and early 1990s.)


What if McCain was a charismatic, eloquent speaker?



What if Obama couldn't read from a teleprompter?


What if Obama was the one who had military experience that included

discipline problems and a record of crashing seven planes?


What if Obama was the one who was known to display publicly, on many

occasions, a serious anger management problem?


What if Michelle Obama's family had made their money from beer

distribution?


What if the Obamas had adopted a white child?


You could easily add to this list. If these questions reflected reality, do you really believe the election numbers would be as close as they are?
