Take McCain out of the equation. He is a lot like George Bush in that he is totally beatable. But it all comes down to who will run against him. I'll admit that of the two opponents, Hillary has the better resume, but even she has only been an elected representative for just over one term. Plus she is totally unlikeable by most people. So what about Obama?
He hasn't done anything so there is nothing much to criticize. That could be good if he were running for dogcatcher. But this is the highest office in the land. Shouldn't that person have SOME experience? The answer is YES. That's why this election will be about Obama, not McCain. Just as Democrats chose the worst candidate, John Kerry, in 2004 to run against Bush, now they have chosen Obama solely because he is a black man. What other reason could there be? Surely not because of his great accomplishments, because he doesn't have any. Not that McCain does either, but at least he's been in government for years.
Just like those Hollywood sets you see on TV, people are starting to realize that Obama is a false front with nothing behind it. The news media predictably supports the guy and publishes puff piece after puff piece. After Katie Couric asked him the same hard question 4 times about whether or not he would have supported the surge in Iraq (if he knew then what he knows now about its success would he support the surge?) His answer was NO. But was it reported anywhere? The answer is NO. The media lies by omission too!
In conclusion, this guy has a lot of warped policy ideas. There is nothing new about him despite his slogan. He is of the socialist mindset and nothing is going to change that. EVERYTHING he has proposed by way of policy is taking from this group and giving to those who don't earn it. At some point if this keeps up, our country will collapse. Wage earners will be in the minority and the incentive to produce will be stifled by government bureaucracy and red tape. Someone is behind Obama pulling his strings, and that is what frightens me the most. If he is elected, he will not be running the show. And who is the man that is behind that curtain?
