I have been listening to Michelle Obama’s speech this first night of the Democratic Convention. It’s interesting. I never trusted Hillary Clinton – however hard she tried, she always sounded like a politician saying whatever she thought her audience wanted to hear. Michelle is different. I could vote for her if she were running, precisely because she doesn’t sound like a politician – she sounds like a real person saying what she really believes.
Maybe that’s what appeals to me about McCain (whether in the end I vote for him or not) – he doesn’t seem afraid to say what he thinks, even if that isn’t what his audience wants to hear – like when he told Iowa farmers recently that he thought it was wrong to provide government subsidies to divert corn to ethanol production.
