Oh Obama without any doubt. We need a clear headed, intelligent, calm individual in place at a time like that. We've seen what happens when we have a hot headed cowboy.
But is the dog turd at least 35, was it born a US citizen and what is its previous experience that qualifies it to be President??
Although very shrunken and dry, yes, mr. turd is at least 35. He was born under a bush in my back yard right on American soil. His experience isn't much different than most politicians...he just sits around doing nothing all day long.

I have issues w/calling someone like Bush a cowboy. Cowboys are supposed to be introverted, loner, hot dudes. Definitely not what I picture when I think of Bush!
I do I wish to denigrate McCain's years as a POW, in anyway shape or form, but frankly, having faced life and death situations myself, the kinds of situations that McCain faced as a POW cannot be equated with the deliberative considerations that one would face as President of the United States.
What McCain faced as a POW were very personal, and required more instinctual and personal responses than what is required as Commander in Chief. Additionally, as a former sufferer of severe PTSD, I would trust the instincts of any man or woman who has suffered from the same. While I might trust McCain's instincts in a fire fight, where decisions are very instinctual, reliance on instinctual intuition by necessity requires tunnel vision. As President, tunnel vision can be dangerous.
As has been pointed out by critics on the right and the left, McCain has consistently demonstrated a level of rashness which doesn't bode well for the kind of contemplative analysis required when short term outcomes have to weighed against long term consequences. Obama has clearly demonstrated the opposite inclinations.
I liked McCain in 2000, and I had hoped he'd get the Republican nomination ... and it's delicious irony that some of his staff now heaping the slime on Obama worked for Bush/Rove in 2000 and heaped the slime on McCain!
Frankly, McCain was a different, and much better, person in 2000.
If it was the McCain of 2000, and the Obama of 2000, it's not even close. McCain, baby, McCain.
If it was the McCain of 2008, and the Obama of 2008, again, it's not even close. Obama, baby, Obama.
McCain was alot different when he was his own candidate (back in 2000).
How do you think each candidate would have handled 9-11 if they were in office? Because its very likely that we may suffer another terrorist attack in the future..who would you rather see leading this nation if that were to happen? And please tell me why...Thanks
NEITHER!
I'd take Baldwin of the Constitution Party; McKinney, Nader or any 3rd party candidate over either of the 2 mainstream republicrat candidates -- both of which will do NOTHING to help the country in any way shape or form --- especially the ECONOMY about which they are BOTH COMPLETELY CLUELESS.
How can you really, truly predict how a president would react in that situation? Did any of us know how Bush would react? Nope.
I did.
I've said he was an idiot all along.
In truth I'm AMAZED it wasn't obvious to EVERYONE.
Most people are clearly pretty stupid not to have seen what was right in front of their face.
His election (and then RE-ELECTION) sure lowered my opinion of the intelligence of the American People. In truth we got the President we deserved. When you make stupid, ignorant decisions you pay the price.
