Anyone shall be good as President so far they do not follow the "Too-Aggressive" Policies of George W. Bush .

Actually I might have to say McCain and I really dont care too much for him either. I never really have really cared too much for politics or anything like that, but then again I'm just 19 and politics is something that was never really talked about at my house. If I had to say which I thought would become president between Obama or McCain, I'd have to say Obama. That that McCain is a bad person or anything, but it seems to me that Obama and Hillary both seem to be getting much more press coverage with news crews and on tv. I do not know how many times I've sat at my in-laws and my husbands father sits there and watchs the stuff on the news about the race to be come president. They spend most of the time talking bout Hillary or Obama, but never any of the others. That is something that I dont really like very much. I guess I think if they are going to talk about all canidates then they should talk about each of them for the same amount of time. I actually would rather have Hillary get it. She seemed to do a good job back when Bill was in office and was messing around.

Hillary couldn't even control her husband, why should she be any good at controlling a country the size of America? Or was she complicit in the whole thing, and just let her boy do his 'boy' things? She was involved in an abuse of power when her husband was President and he was fooling around. I have no respect for the woman, especially now with her filthy tricks against Obama. And they're from the same side! All I can say is you folks sure have a weird political system! Australia does things quite differently.

It's not between McCain and Obama yet, Hillary Clinton is still very much in the race. Many people are saying it will be decided in Pennsylvania which is my state and it's been said that we are a Clinton state. So it's really too soon to be asking if our next president will be McCain or Obama. McCain is the republican nominee but we don't officially have our democratic nominee yet. A better question to ask at this point is "who will McCain be running against in the presidential election?"

I perfer McCain for president if I have to choose between the 2. My reason Obama has ties to too many people that are not the best in the world, such as Bill Ayers and accused felon Tony Rezko. Also I hear that he is constantly in shouting matches with his wife over other women. Do we need another Bill Clinton in the whitehouse. Obama attends Trinity United Church of Christ, headed by Rev. Jeremiah Wright, who is an ally of Louis Farrakhan, the leader of the Nation of Islam. He is a senator of the United states but does not cover his heart with his hand when they play the National Anthem, what does that tell us? Tony Rezko who is facing charges of extortion and money laundering and fraud raised funds for Obama for his election. That he has made a fortune with this accused felon. His friendship with Ayers who boasted of his role in bombings of the Capitol and the Pentagon in the 1970's. Some where along the line I feel that there is a lot more to Obama than the people are being told. I do not know what all of this will contribute to him being president. As of Mc Cain I know he served in Viet Nam and have not heard these types of stories about him. I think he has been around a long time and I have never heard anything bad about him. I just want someone in office that I believe will do their best to keep us safe and I don't know if that person is Obama. How much do we really know about Obama,what will these ties to these kinds of people do to him being president. How long has Obama been senator? If you can provide me with different thinking please do. I do not want to think he lost the election because of any race issue. I don't think it matters what color skin you have if you are the best for what this country needs then you should get the job. But how much is too much of being tied to these kind of people, do you think should be told to the people before they go to vote, do you think his association with this type of person has anything to do with him being president.

Well, Obama has absolutly no experience. And I am completly over there being a Republican in the white House. SO I have voted for Clinton. Hopefully she comes out on top and recieved the Democratic nominee. Though if she does not I will still vote Democrat and vote obama. I do however believe that Clinton would do a much better job.

Hey, Hillary Clinton, with her 'more experience', voted for the US to go to war in Iraq. How smart was that move? Obama had quite different ideas on that one. Obama! Obama! Obama!

Im not yet a US Citizen so I am not allowed to vote yet. But if I can... I go for Obama because he is an immigrant and he knows what I have gone through. Clinton had already the taste of the White House. If she will be a president, I have a feeling that Chelsea will soon running for the position too in the future. I dont want political dynasty. I have seen that in my own country so, I don't think that is its a good idea.

Obama is the man of the moment-I know his policies are different from that of Bush, I also know, like Bush, His father Bush senior, like Reagan , McCain is in that generation of leaders-he will want to show the whole world that America is a super power, and I will not be surprised if America went to war with Iran! So Obama is much better than McCain-he will use American Tax payers money very wisely-not in meaningless wars to the American people.

Neither, I hope. I'm still holding out for Hillary. I live in Pennsylvania and the showdown could come here. Hopefully Obama will underestimate how much this state likes the Clintons. Bill may not have been an asset in Ames, Iowa but he's a draw in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

For me.. it makes no difference.. because i am from India.. Whatever reforms taken by the President of America, so long as they are not affecting our country... i welcome them.. but if they are to affect the moral sanguinity of the lives of the people..i oppose their rule. At present.. the American government is compelling India to sign the nuclear agreement, which is at the cost of interest of the Indian nationals..

I have no idea who will win. I think it will end up between McCain and Obama. The one thing that scares me about the Democrats getting into the White House is all the programs they are talking about implementing. Programs take money. Where does the money come from? Our pocketbooks, plain and simple. If they are going to initiate something like a couple trillion dollars worth of programs, taxes will go up. Most of the programs will not benefit working americans, but they will pay for them. That is scary.
