A long-time Democratic speechwriter who claims to have written for both Barack and Michelle Obama has announced she is leaving the Democratic Party and endorsing John McCain for president.

Wendy Button, a frequent columnist for the Huffington Post, where she is credited with writing speeches for Democratic Sens. John Edwards, Hillary Rodham Clinton, and John Kerry and for Boston Mayor Thomas Menino, made the announcement in a blog post called "So Long, Democrats" on The Daily Beast.

Button's reasons for defecting from the Democrats include false campaign slogans, poor economic policy and her admission that McCain was right about the surge in Iraq; but her argument begins with outrage over the way the Obama campaign attacked two women and a common man – Hillary Clinton, Sarah Palin and Joe the Plumber – the kind of people she thought the Democratic Party championed.

"I can no longer justify what this party has done and can't dismiss the treatment of women and working people as just part of the new kind of politics," Button writes.

With the cnn and networks suppressing th news about this guy, how can they think they have real support. Obama is running on tax cuts for the middle class, talking like a centrist. That is his mandate at best. Although I think judgeing by early turnout vote count, shifting in trends, failure to account for the operation chos pople, Obama folks could be in for a shocker if mccains internals are even close to right.

Lets give Obama 4 years in the Senate toshow us something. He can still propose everything he is talking about from there as well. Which makes me wonder what he will do since he has done as little as humanly possible. The only sub-comittee chairman to never call a meeting of his committee.

He will do us like he does his brother, no looking back for that guy. That is his record.
