That a seriously broad question....I'm assuming you have been to both BO and JM websites and gone through their drop down menus....There have to be about 100 issues they each talk about....

JM is different in many way from Bush but there are similarities Bush isn't running again however so the main focus is what do we want from who we can elect?

One aims at larger social programs and wealth distribution.

One aims at more privatization and and less wealth distribution.

My personal opinion is neither one of them are going to be worth any good money wise....IMO one will be far worse than the other.

Hmmmm, we keep going back to Obama. Apparently the general consensus is there IS no real difference between Bush and McCain.

More accurately, Barry disagrees with the surge in Iraq but wants to surge in Afghanistan. You figure it out.

Careful. The way Obama is now changing his views to whatever McCain proposes is going to lead you to a place you don't want to be.

LOL, you're still talking about Obama. Obsessed, are we?

If you can't discuss differences between Bush and McCain... then obviously you think there IS no real difference between Bush and McCain.

Err..Is it that difficult? Al Qaeda (you remember them - they sent planes into the WTC, are led by Osama bin Laden, etc...) was based in AFGHANISTAN. Many of them are most-likely still there! Here in 2008, nearly SEVEN YEARS after 9/11, we still have control of very little of that country. The taliban is resurging, and Al-quaeda runs free in the mountains.

Obama wants to get the people who were actually responsible for 9/11 in the place where the terrorists actually planned 9/11 and continue to live there! Is that so hard to figure out?

Iraq had nothing - i'll repeat- nothing to do with 9/11. Al qaeda was not in Iraq until after we invaded it. Bush/Rummy/Wolfowitz took their eye off the ball and took us into a dumb war in Iraq

Obama wants to get us back on track by going after the people who were actually responsible for attacking us. Sounds like a good, patriotic and smart idea to me.

Sounds like you agree the surge worked in Iraq.

Barry is just typically wrong about it not working in Iraq. The irony is his touting it's ineffectiveness in Iraq and then pursuing the same policy for Afghanistan. The silliness comes from his cult mimicking his idiocy.

(And you're 100% wrong about al-Qaeda not being in Iraq and bin-Laden associated with Hussein. Read the 9/11 report. . . it's old news and been beaten to death and disproved even here.)
