Obama has so many doubts for me. Will he really know how to be a CEO? The job of President really right now must be a CEO type to right the failing economy.

Since we don't have a perfect CEO type running our best choice is Hillary. Seeing that the wave of support is marching with Obama at this point I find it prudent to make some serious points.

If Hillary isn't nominated then the candidate to be president must be Obama.

John McCain is a Warmonger who will lead the country into further trouble internationally. His age will become a factor I suspect in the mid part of his first term, not too different from Reagan's health curve. He also has demonstrated that he has no real plan to bring the economy back.

We need an economist right now and the only choice is Hillary. If she can't beat Obama then we need to make sure Obama makes it in because I am sure McCain will be another Bush.

I have my concerns about Obama but they are far less than my Concerns about McCain.

A vote for McCain is a vote for more wars. People who choose to vote for McCain over Obama are simply asking for another Bush, and I cannot fathom that reality.

Obama is not an economist and at least McCain admits he knows nothing about the economy and would surround himself with the right people to help out.

Obama will also create so much government you won't know where all your money went. I am very iffy on voting for a 71 year old, but even iffier on voting for someone who wants to effectively create a 100% middle class. All these silly Robin Hood taxes to redistribute wealth and create handout programs take away the freedom to succeed financially - I thought this is what was so great about America.

Call McCain a "warmongerer" all you want, he may have a temper but the man has a balanced sense of judgment and MORALS that Bush sold out on long ago.

However, I am by no means a "McCain supporter" and it's obvious he is not the right choice, but maybe the better of 2 evils.

Hillary is a dem Richard Nixon. I doubt she could get elected. Too many skeletons in her closets will keep the independents away. They'll go to McCain or Nader.

Well, a Veitnam vet vs an anti-gunner with 3 years experience..
Hmm....who to decide???

Where was this line of thinking when Kerry was running??? Guess people hadn't been "fed up" enough with Bush back then.

Liberals are so lost.

They pushed John "no purple heart" Kerry like he was a war hero and that he shot all these enemies and he was a hero to find out he wasnt even in the place he said he did all this. They made him out like he was Rambo or something for all his shootings and kills.

Now, they flip flop slobber all over McCain saying he is a war monger. Stupid people dont not understand that we ar ein Iraq and just cannot pull out without careful planning. You libs whined about the planning to get in and now are wanting to bail out without a plan. HOW STUPID OF YOU! Yu are putting us all in jeopardy because its Bush, its not the right thing to do and you all know it, but you hate Bush so bad it is clouding your brains.

McCain is NOT A WAR MONGER, he is a very knowledgable veteran with VAST military experience and was DEAD ON RIGHT about the surge.

Stop comparing him to Bush as they are not alike at all, McCain wouldnt not have gone into Iraq without a better plan of attack, Bush made a mistake and we all know that, but to sit down and type that we will get the same would be for me to say with Obama we will get another Jimmy Carter because of his lack of economic experience.

So if Obama wins we will have 18% interest rates and a much worse economy then we have now, is that what you are saying?

Is Obama an anti american because he supports taking away jobs from Americans and handing them for foreign countries?
Is Obama an anti american because he is for allowing illegals to stay here?
Is Obama an anti american because he has ties to racial groups?

So stop comparing past people with future people because Obama can be easily compared to some of the worst President we have ever had if you all wan tto go that route.

IF YOU WANT TO FEEL SAFE AND PROTECTED, MCCAIN MUST WIN.

If you want someone to hold you hand and tell you a lie that everything is going to be ok then vote for Obama. We had some bads days ahead of us folks and we do not need some inexperienced weak knee person as the commander of our armed forces.

Great post!

Robinhood is what I have been calling the two lib candidates for months now.
They will not only tax us to pieces but will weaken our defense beyong repair.

Lesser of two evils is a good point too, guess I would rather be safe then sorry.

Why is it impossible for us to have a candidate that can strengthen the economy while keeping the military strong?

I'm not so sure why McCain, on this site, is always criticized for being poorer on the economy than Obama. Yes, he said he didn't fully understand the economy as well as he should, but Obama doesn't have a clue either, the only difference is that he doesn't have a soundbyte. In poll after poll, McCain ranks far better than Obama in handling of the economy. Most people realize the fundamental difference between McCain and Obama on the economy is taxes. Obama wants to raise taxes and create a lot of government jobs. McCain wants to lower taxes and let the private sector handle it. It's the classic big government vs. small government debate and time and time again and as America speaks out on the economy to this point, American isn't in favor of becoming Socialistic in its approach to job creation. McCain is the guy who appears to be best equipped at handling the economy while keeping a strong defense.
