Obama Is Bad for the Economy - Barron's

As one who also flew in Viet Nam, I can tell you folks that McCain's shoot down and POW experience do not make him a hero, they make him unlucky. He, like Bush, is wealthy: Bush inherited his, McCain married into his. McCain seems to only be able to do what is written on the cue cards...even his smiles are scripted (as is plain to see).

McCain is not a bad guy...he is probably a good old guy and the folks who will come with him (if he is the next President) are going to be the same "good ol' boys" who have been trained by the current Bush Administration.

In my neck of the woods (North Georgia), you can't go a half mile without seeing some truck, car, or boat for sale in someone's front yard. They are not being sold so that the people can buy a new one...they are being sold so that the people can eat. I don't think folks making $500,000 year and have several homes know (or care) what is going on in the real America. America is HURTIN'.

When the next international crisis comes up, do you want someone in charge who is waiting for the cue card or do you want someone who can THINK? Does America realize how badly the military is being treated with multiple deployments, extended enlistments, and destroyed families? Our military is like a powerful tank without any ammunition....

Obama is not perfect, but if the choice is McCain or Obama......it seems clear to me that Obama is the pick.

Sorry for the long diatribe. I'm just fed up.
