Barack Obama's closing statement from the third presidential
debate, October 15, 2008 [emphasis added]:
I'm absolutely convinced we can do it. I would ask for your
vote, and I promise you that if you give me
the extraordinary honor of serving as your president, I
will work every single day, tirelessly, on your behalf
and on the behalf of the future of our children.
And today, from
USA Today, the headline: "It's official: Obamas to vacation
on Martha's Vineyard next month."
As a single-issue (work ethic) voter who was swayed by Obama's
promise that debate night, I feel horribly betrayed.
