We would be sending off the last of our youth to war with Iran.

No.

We'd be stuck in Iraq for many more years and Sarah Palin would have been VP.

/end.

The Bush (R)ecession would have become a depression. The economy would have really gone to hell making today's stagnation look like paradise.

We would be marginally better of domestically and much better of internationally. WIth respec to how they would handle the economy, there isn't much difference between them. Mccain has a much better grasp of international affairs them Obama.

How so? Sorry but both of them seem rather inept when it comes to international affairs, as was evident during their debates.

Mccain has much greater experience with foreign affairs. Obama has proven he is an amature.

McCain didn't exactly convince me that he knew a lot about foreign affairs, sorry. I wasn't keen on either candidate, but Obama was the lesser of two evils. Obama has at least got us out of Iraq, which is more than McCain would have done. That's a war that should never have happened in the first place, our troops will come home and even if Obama isn't re-elected, he'll at least have done some good. McCain would have stubbornly kept us in Iraq.

That's really all it boils down to. Aside from that, the president seems to be a lame duck and just a figurehead.

[OED]

We would still have an anti-war movement. Ever since Obama took office, the anti-war crowd threw Cindy Sheehan under the bus and praise Obama's embracing of neo-con foreign policy.
