The Next President Will Be Trapped by History

Both McCain and Obama had good points in the debate. For example, McCain rightly stated you can't get to independence from foreign oil without nuclear power. On the other hand, Obama is very smart and is less tied to past directions than McCain, and Obama has more youthful stamina, both of which we should intuitively realize will be key in these interesting times. The baggage that Obama does carry stems from his left leanings for social spending for the poor, which does not help them in the long run. Free markets and good education are all that is needed. Now I favor Obama, but I hope he learns from McCain. Both men are far far better than GW, seeming to point out the deep weakness of our democracy, because we elected GW not once but twice!?
