Cowboy up or wait???

When my kids were young and got into fights, I would
drive them nuts. Because instead of running into the
room and jump the kid that wasn't crying, I would sit
them both down, and ask the crying one... what did you
do? Why did he hit you? And many times the crier
was the trouble maker. Not the hitter. I never ok'd
hitting. If there was bickering siblings, I would separate
them. If it continued.. then both children had to go do
some work. So they learn quickly to settle their own
problems quietly.

Some people are quick to judge, some look at all the
facts.

You know a couple years ago, there was an email that
went around. It was how Congress was going to charge
5 cents for each email. There was numbers to call, address
to write to your Congress person. And many many people did
just that. Only to find out that the email was a fraud.

Congressmen and women wrote back and told how they
too, used email to others, and to their voters.. and they
would be the last to put a 5 cents charge on emails, as
they, too, would be broke. Plus the fact that the Senator
that was named in the email..... did not exist.

How many times have you gotten an email that angered
you, and you wanted to jump right in there and complain
about something. And you forward it to 20 friends. To have
one of them send you an email back with www.snopes.com
on it and how it was a hoax. A lot of us believe things, or
see things and want to act right away. Only to find out
there was a better way to handle it.

Kind of like Bush running over there to Iraq, with the
idea of how to fix Iraq for the Iraqi's. But didn't look in
to the facts, didn't find out about the culture of the country.
And how they believe. Just went in like a cowboy of the
movies. It didn't finally start to turn around until one
of the leaders talked to the locals, started to find out
about their culture and work with that.

That to me is the difference of McCain and Obama.
McCain is like Bush. Run in and cowboy up. Quick
decisions. Obama, seems to want to find out all the
facts of a situation. Look at it from all sides. And with
this, seems to take a little more time than McCain, so
can make a good decision.

McCain seem to think he know what we want, and
how to fix that. Obama seems to want to find out
from us, what we are concern about and how he can
work on that.

Quick draws like McCain and Palin make me nervous.
