Two simple photos that speak to me of the stark difference between Obama & McCain

[quiet.american]

McCain -- dark, threatening clouds; a constricted, awkward view that sees the world through a black-and-white lens;
a looming sense of gloom & despair





Obama -- blue skies where even the clouds seem cheerful; an inspiring sense of vibrancy and hope;
a forward-looking vision that contemplates limitless possibilities; a stance of strength and centeredness


GOBAMA!

1. I know his arms were hurt ejecting from his plane,

but his stubby arms look so wierd, even spooky.

3. Yep, and the way McCain exploits that time in his life has been unbelievable.

It's too soon to forget how much he's avoided giving serious answers to too many questions, because his one answer was/is always, "...I was a POW."

13. Yup. Since when does POW status give you a free pass to the White House?

16. He didn't used to look that weird

I've looked at videos from the nineties and even 2000, and he appeared fairly normal. Now he gives me the creeps. Lately his hands have been freaking me out - they're short, with fat stubby fingers. Maybe if he was somewhat likable, these things wouldn't bother me so much.

2. That first pic is CREEEEPY.

McCain looks like some sinister ghoul. I joke about McCain selling his soul to the devil, but this pic makes it so not funny anymore.

I love the second pic. It's as if even the clouds have come to hear him speak. I know...

Sorry, but it's what I see.

4. That's the 1st pic I've ever seen of Obama's shirt rumpled

so he isn't perfect.....hmmmm

5. It's Fear vs. Hope!

And I do believe that we are down so far, we can only go with Hope!

Fear ain't gonna do it. Not this time!

6. The Obama pic is also a great capture of the classic

anvil shape of a cumulonimbus cloud (for meteorology nerds). This often precedes lightning and heavy rains, but I get the sentiment.

7. You know what, sometimes DU'ers are *too* smart. :) nt

14. I'm an old school goth. What can I say? I like inclement weather.

Can't stand grumpy hermits like the guy conducting the overcast in the first pic, though.

17. Those clouds are really cool looking!

11. Kinda reminds me of Nixon/Kennedy

18. Welcome to DU!

That first picture looks like it is predicting impending doom for McSame...
