Where did we get these 2 clowns? What makes John McCain qualified to be President? We are in a very critical point in time here, there are fundamental problems with our country NOW, will McCain be able to lead us through them? 1) The Fed is printing money like there is no tomorrow. 2) We just had the Bear Stearns bail out. 3) Now a mortgage bail out. 4) The flood has killed the corn crop this year. 5) Gas prices. These are all very big deals! Both candidates seem clueless to me, I hope I'm wrong. Please tell me that I'm wrong and why.

Yes you are wrong.
You ask for it. Well I couldn't give it to McCain if I was a resident of the States. I think he is too old and Obama is young and agile. They say that the two are clueless but what do one wants from them. Remember they are not in the seat and they can talk and talk but it is the one that are presently the president who needs to try and assured the americans citizen that the states will be well again. Bruce Golding has promise the young persons them out here that he will make a change. Yes he make a change by firing everyone from left right and center. We are all unemploy looking to the internet for consolation but none is here.
So you see it is all about politics and who can get that big sum when retirement time come.

lol, thanks for telling me I'm wrong. Unfortunately you gave no information to hang my hat on. yes Obama is young but what about his church? Seems to have more in common with the KKK than Jesus. His preacher and his support of him disqualifies him as far as I'm concerned.

What I feel about McCain is that as a pow for many years and serving our country that he has the knowledge to at least try and keep us safe form another attack.
As for Obama, he has no experience in foreign affairs, he wants to talk out the situation between us and the terrorist, do you actually believe they are interested in listening to why they should not attack us again, I mean get real. I dont' like his stand on white people, if you read his books then you get the feeling he was ashamed of his white mother and her white roots, also if you read his book
Audacity of Hope, his own words state: I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction. What does that tell you, I do not want a person like that in office and I do not believe that he can protect us. Better do some research before the up coming elections, but when you write it in your own words I think that makes it about as clear as you can get.

You say to do research, well I'd say you better make sure when you're quoting someone from their own book that you know what context it was written in and take the whole passage and not just one phrase! Obama was talking about protecting Muslim Americans who were being threatened directly following 9/11. Or would you have thought it would be perfectly fine to imprison all of the Arab Americans like we did to the Japanese Americans following World War II?

I don't think anything makes McCain qualified to be President, not the fact that he was a POW decades ago and certainly not the fact that he's been in the Senate since Abe Lincoln was in office. He's changed his position on every single issue so there's no way you can predict which side he'll be on on any given day. Obama is young, he's only been in the Senate for a few years but I think he's just what the U.S. needs right now to unite us and to restore our respect in the rest of the world. Despite what some of his detractors may say to the contrary, he has laid out his positions and his proposals in as much detail as can be expected before even getting elected and I like what I see. I don't care about and I don't want to read about his church, his pastor, his "Muslim past" or any of that; issue for issue, I'll take Obama hands down over an extension of the Bush policies.
