McCain.

Obama has next to no experience, so I think he would be pretty panicky and clueless about what to do. McCain has seen this stuff for almost 3 decades, and I think by now he knows what to do.

Obama. It would take John McCain too long to get there on his velocipede.

Yeah, why dont you try giving an actual reason as to why Obama would handle it better instead of your usual crappy comments offending John McCain's age. His age has nothing to do with his response.

As usual, this is what I get from a democrat. "Barack Obama would because he is better."

Neither, the government is too big, the "best appropriate manner that would meet all the immediately needs" is to FIRST have the state where the disaster hits to meet these needs, including the governor, the mayor, the local red cross, the national guard, state guard, local police and fire. The feds will step in aftewards but ultimately they will have a slower progress and thus the state should not rely on the feds but rather have the feds provide additional assistance.

barack would handle it better for a simple reason. according to his supporters, he can walk on water, so he would do very well in a flooded area. oh, and if I remember correctly, he can also turn water into wine. something that would be greatly appreciated by the "poverty" stricken areas of new orleans.
