Which candidate will deal with each issue best?

I have created a poll where you are choosing which issues Obama will better handle (thus the remaining will be McCains strengths if you dont choose them). Pick as many as you want.

The issues that I did not check off are:

social security reform - I don't think this will be one of his priorities (at least for his first term)

illegal immigration - this is one issue that I usually would side with conservatives on, however due to political pressure it seems that McCain and Obama are pretty much equal on this issue, which is to say that neither will address this to my liking

economy - I don't feel that the economy will sink or swim depending on who is elected President

homeland security - I see this as a non-issue issue, our homeland should be secure if our intelligence agencies, our immigration agencies and our President and his National Security Advisor are doing their job, "homeland security" was just created to make us feel better

As for the rest of the issues listed, I feel that Barack Obama is more likely to provide the leadership needed to improve and succeed in these areas.

Just out of curiosity, how is McCain's healthcare policy better than Obama's? (Directed toward those who didn't select it)

Obama's healthcare guarantees it to all Americans, which I completely support. McCain's just makes it something that is "encouraged" but not mandatory like Obama.
