As I sit here watching/listening to the 9/11 Presidential Forum, BHO is sounding like a used car salesman to me. Gee, where can I buy a car with all that he's offering? What will it cost? I am hearing lots of Champagne ideas while my Budweiser is getting hot.

I think everyone reading this OP has enough sense to realize that somethings are just to good to be true. When you vote, if you do, you better look at yourself in that imaginary mirror and say, "I like what BHO is promising, but am I willing, can I really help pay for all that?"

Every politician sounds like a used car salesman. Heck they might as well be just that. At least he doesn't sound like Beavis or Butthead which Bush always reminded me of.

I don't believe he can cut taxes on 95% of the people and still pay off the debt and all these 100's of services he wants to start ... who's going to pay for it? Nope I don't think he's the guy.

Thays okay, millions of us do support him, for all the right reasons.

Its not that McCain is a bad American, its the fact that he will do a terrible job leading the country and should come nowhere close to doing so. He has no vision and will continue the failed policies of our current President.

Most of us realize (or should realize) we cannot continue the current direction we are in and its proven, by his voting record, that McCain will not only continue it, but his ramblings on Iraq may make that region even worse.


Any "success" in Iraq is carefully fabricated, Baghdad is a city of walls, neighborhoods are divided along religious lines. The govt. is a joke, along with much else, like their army, which have no loyalty to the so-called govt. It will remain a powderkeg and John McCain wishes to pour gas on the fire. It's a scary prospect.

Yeah, when I was watching, I felt that McCain seemed moderate and presidential; Obama seemed like a lefty, well, organizer.
