Obama 08 or McCain 80

Isn't Obama the guy whose familys verbally insulted America as being a place they hate? Isn't he the guy that's planning to take over 1500 children from their families into a government ruled school? Isn't he the guy that doesn't seem to understand how to respond to a 7 year old girl asking him a question? Wow yeah sounds like an amazing guy to run for presidency. It's not about age it's about what you bring to the countries table.

Well...i think that Obama is going to make history in this election...lets see wat happends ....God bless Obama...

McCain has wisdom, experience in government and true patriotism to bring to the table as our next president. Obama is sorely lacking in all of the above. I choose McCain.

Good thing you are not old enough to vote, do you think just because Obama is younger that makes him capable of running our country. McCain has been a senator for a long time, he was a prisoner of war for 7 years, Obama is green, 3 year senator and he has no plan and will show how green he is in the debates when he can not answer the questions given to him. He thinks the ways to end the high gas prices is to have your tires in flated to the proper air level. Now that took a real wiz to think up that, I believe we learned that in school.

lanlan011, First, welcome to mylot, your gonna love it here. Second, welcome to the political section,your gonna love/hate it here, lol. It truly is a bloodsport arena. In this section, bring your numbers, facts, specifics because you can be sure others will have and will happily club you over the head with them. It's great fun, lol. I notice though, you say your not old enough to vote yet your profile claims you are 18? All that aside, now, what is it about Obama you find makes him qualified in your eyes? Please be specific. Not, "he's young", Or "fresh", or "he will bring change" or "he's not republican". what policies, again be specific. If you say, "he'll end the war in Iraq", please say how and what the exit strategy is. If you say, "hell improve the economy", state how and what. Again, welcome to mylot, have fun.

I am voting for Obama. I hope he wins. If McCain gets elected we will have four more years of another Bush like administration. God help us if that happens. We need a fresh change from the last eight years. Obama 08!!!

71 years old isn't what I'd call "Nearing his 80s". He would have to serve 2 terms just to hit 80 and even then just barely. If age is your sole criteria for supporting Obama, then it's clear why people your age are too young to vote. LANLAN011:"there was a certain incident that concerned obama when he was speaking. there were people out in the audience that held up a question for him. it took hilary the next day to respond but OBAMA responded in 40 minutes." Did you just make that up or did you hear it from a friend who heard about it on the Colbert report? Without so much as a real example this is meaningless. WoazMM:"He graduated from the 5th from the bottom of his class, and I've heard from Arizonians that he doesn't do much for them(including before this election)." He graduated from a great school. In the real world nobody cares about your GPA. They only care that you graduated. If he didn't do much for Arizonians than perhaps you would like to explain why they reelected him so many times? It's not exactly easy to convince a state to let you represent them for 4 years as a representative and another 21 as a senator if you aren't doing much for them. Sounds to me like you made that up. WoazMM:"Yes, Obama is young and arguably inexperienced, but foreign leaders want to work with him, and foreign countries and our own people are embracing his ideas." This is the best and one that completely makes sense. See, these foreign leaders think the way I do. When I go out to buy a new car, I ALWAYS want that young inexperienced guy. That increases my chances of taking advantage of his inexperience to get the best deal for me. I don't care about the dealership or their salesman when I'm making that deal. I just want it to be good for me. I can assure you, that is exactly how the leaders of other countries are and that's exactly how they see him. When I'm buying a new car the last thing I want is to haggle with a 30 year veteran of sales. It's not even worth trying to pull one over on him.

All through the campaign I wanted Hilary. But, now it's Obama but he will not get my vote. It's easy to continuously tell folks that we need a "change" but he hasn't shown me anything that leads me to believe he has a clue about anything. Yes, McClain is up there in age, but age is only a number once you get past 21, so you cannot judge a candidate purely on age. Look at the guy we have now. Dubya is only four years older than me, so he's 61. Probably about the average for the Presidents of this country. Look what disaster he has caused. Nope, can't judge from age. Since the longer he campaigns the more the people (other than the newspeople) are tiring of him, I think Obama will lose the election.

Well...where should I start?? I thihk if we were to elect McCain in 4 years he would definaltely be gone. McCain in the past has supported every single one of George W. Bush's failed policies. Not only does his tax plan give nearly 75% of the benefits to the rich but he also has lost site of this election. It is clear to me that the only thing McCain has going for him is that the fact he has someone playing dirty on his team. In the past 3 months you have herd McCain do nothing except bad talking the other canidate. When can we get back to the issues? Obama did a great job in the middle east. He showed the world he has what it takes to become president. McCain is part of the filthy rich. He has no idea what the middle class is going through in this country. McCain is pushing so hard for this off shore drilling but it is not going to effect the price of gas for about 4 years after we start. We can not wait 4 years. I am 29 and have voted every year possible. If we left it up to McCain we would grant amnesty to a huge amount of aliens from South of the border. This would drive the Social Security to heights we have never seen before. I am worried when I go to retire there will be nothing left. The truth is we are ready for some type of change. I am affraid that McCain represents this corporate call girl type of politics. I could keep going and going also but it does not go anywhere. The truth is that I am sure that who ever wins will do a fine job. A lot of people do not relize that the canidates promise all these things but the truth is they can not do anything without congress, and we all know congress is a joke.

From the start I wanted Hillary to win. Since she got out of the running I was truely disappointed, because I did not want Obama to win, but I believe he will win. I do not plan on voting for him though, so I guess I would be voting for McCain.
