I don't usually post in the politics forums, but I felt there is a need for me to do so.

I find it hard to believe that a lot of Americans actually think Obama is the answer to the problems of our nation. In the almost two years of the Senate and House controlled by people like Pelosi and Reid, look at what happened, but with Obama in the White House, expect the end of the United States as we know it. I'm not very impressed with McCain either, but he's still a much better choice.

Maybe this will reveal things about Obama you may not have known.

What is more astonishing to me is now everyone wants to be soooo critical of the possible presidents. When 4 and 8 years ago you idiots did not give a damn and voted George W Bush 2 terms (who has REALLY destroyed this country). GW will go down as ONE of the worst Presidents in History and yet you do not think Obama would do a FAR BETTER JOB????

THIS IDIOTIC crap is the same as if a guy who has smoked all his life and now he has lung cancer and could possible die soon. Tell someone he doesn't want to eat red meat because he is watching out for his HEALTH!
You've already killed yourself!

The same with you, your last 2 picks have already killed this country!

Either candidate is 100x better than Bush

Though I feel Obama will do a far better job than McCain

I don't think people consider Obama the asnwer to all problems.. I just think they have had enough of the crazy rediculous republican politics of the past 8 years and are coming to the conclusion that Obama is 1. a better choice than Mccain, and 2. the complete opposite of George Bush. Either would be a better choice but 4 years ago the opportunity to be rid of a republican white house was lost... I don't think it will happen this time.

The fact is that NEITHER of these men are the answer.

The answer to a better America starts with each of us.
We need a return to personal accountability and responsibility.

From the personal level it would spread into business, government, & education.

I only said McCain is a better choice, not "The answer".

That's not going to happen. Far to many people now feel that government is good, government tells them what they need to do, holds their hand so they don't make mistakes, and when they end up making mistakes tells them it's okay, here let us fix it for you.

The era of personal accountability is over, only being practiced by a few of us who are left to shake our heads and wonder what happened.

I think that's what many of us Obama supporters are hoping for, because the United States that we've known for the last eight years is not what it used to be.

McCain is definitely NOT the answer. Same old, same old...just like the Iraq war. How many of you believe that after years of doing the same thing and never getting a different response you're all of a sudden going to wake up and get something new?
