Oh, in that case I limit my response to "the last thing our country

I do not see Obama showing any leadership qualities. Being a well spoken
person of goodwill does not equate to leadership ability. Hell, Bozo the
Clown engendered goodwill. Obama's choice of friends and advisors very much
shows a lack of good judgement. Leadership is also good judgement and as I
state Obama has not shown good judgement. Seeing what he has done in the
Senate and his homestate, there is no leadership ability. As to McCain, he
also sucks, but a McCain Potus with a Pelosi House does not scare me
anywhere near as much as an Obama POTUS and a Pelosi House. It f'n bad that
these two are what we really have to choose from. As to the debates. I
have not seen one yet. Sort of a lob out a semi softball question and get a
statement. The first "debate" I wanted to bitch slap Lehrer for letting
Obama open up his yap during McCain's comment time. Crappy moderator.
Where were the hard questions? Illegal Immigration. Education. What are
you going to do about the extreme overspending of the Federal government.
They can not raise taxes enough to cover the spending. For at least 60
years the Federal revenue has been around 20-22% of GDP. Spending is
approching 30+%. It ain't the Middle East Wars that are causing the huge
increase in spending. We are going to pay the military even if not at war,
so the quoted numbers for the war are extremely skewed. We are hosed
whomever is POTUS for the next 4 years. Biden is a liar, and has also never
shown leadership. So the VP choice of both sucks. Since the Senate has
even a lower rating than Geo. Bush, how can we have the choice of one of two
members of that worthless body to run the Executive branch? The DNC and the
RNC supported their chosen ones. Same as the when the RNC supported Dole.
"Because he deserves it after 20 years in the Senate". I would vote 3rd
party again, but that is just wasting my vote. Let us have a real debate
between them.
