McCain will win

obama for some hope ...........please

i'm curious,
looking at the mess the american economy is in, it'll take a fairly strong charectar to sort the mess out,
do americans really think that obama is ready for such a huge test so early in his career?

did'nt mcain clash quite a few times with bush on economic policy?
& the question is more,'are americans confident enough in obama's ability to lead them out of recession?',

McCain's entire campaign staff consists of lobbyists who have worked on behalf of corporations instead of citizens. The man who drew up his economic plan, phil gramm, stated that the economy is not that bad and the americans are whining. Just yesterday McCain stated on the stump the the fundamentals of the economy are strong. Phil Gramm also lobbied to allow the deregulation that created this sub prime mortgage disaster. You are joking right?

and just for fun...

Oh stop really? That didnt answer the question? The answer is a resounding YES. Tax CUTS for middle america, health care, home save. The answer is YES. Lastest polling shows 49% of americans feel that Obama would do a better job on the economy than McCain @ 45%

And again, McCain did NOT clash with Bush on economic matters at all, walked hand in hand with him.

Me... I think ("hope") he'll win, I don't like Overhype, he's not strong enough to be president, I see him as a case of fur coat but no knickers. The way the US is at the moment they need a strong president, McCain (although I don't like him either!) is this, you may not agree with all his policies but he'll be strong enough to see them through. Obama looks good to the voters from the outside, but under it all will he be strong enough to stand up when it matters? I'm not so sure.

I'm glad I don't have to vote in this one as I don't like (or trust) either... but think McCain will be the best president

Bush won because he was perceived to be a "strong" president and leader. Well, he was strong all right, the problem was he was WRONG and STUBBORN. So essentially voting for the myth of the strong choice has destroyed the economy in the US and got us into iraq under BS pretenses.

John McCain may be what you consider "strong" but strength without diplomacy is what got us into Iraq and will get us into Iran with McCrazy.

I think Obama is strong, but is also smart enough to listen to other opinions and weigh all options rather than stubbornly stand by his perceptions even when he's dead wrong.

Is'nt Mcain just another Bush? Bush is the devil!

Also....what all you McBush...I mean McCain supporters need to also think about and consider...which VP would you want to be President INCASE something happens? I don't think there is ANYONE that can argue with that one.

I just wish more people would vote for themselves and their lifestyles. NOT what their Mommy and Daddy raised them as. I have talked to many friends on both sides who vote the way they do, because it was spoon fed..i.e spoon fed politics. Enough of the spoon fed, robot politics....use your own brain and opinion.

With Republicans it is always about taxes and money...more more more. Well quality of life is not having to worry about traveling to other countries (much easier pre-USA Iraq war), quality schools, public programs, and a society which. The matter of the fact is majority of us have enough money to travel, eat and drink at nice restaurants, buy art! A more, more, more mentality creates greed which is exactly what it is. These external issues effect YOU directly. I wish they woudl wake up.

I talked to one Republican and when asked about the major issue of funding for public schools do you know what he said...I will send my kids to private school. Great solution!

i overheard some american bank dudes in my local vietnamese restaurant last week . one chap says he will suffer cos of high taxes if obama gets in , that was all that concerned him. nothing else , not war, famine , global warming , economy, only his fricking taxes.......
meanwhile his mom (hockey?) over for a trip in london,england i quote "was going to visit the saatchi gallery," to which they replied "the versace gallery ? , awesome"
i nearly choked on my saigon beer with laughter ......

The John McCain who is running in 2008 is NOT the John McCain who ran in 2000. Quite simply, he has decided that he would rather lose his integrity than the election. He has picked a running mate who is somewhere to the right of Adolf Hitler, though Hitler had more liberal views on rape than Sarah Palin does. As McCain is also showing clear signs of physically and mentally declining too, there is better than a 1 in 3 chance that she will be President in the next four years.

The neo-cons, you know, the fvckwits who drove us all into the war in Iraq, are salivating at the thought of a Palin presidency. She would make Bush look like a pansy. Even if McCain does see out his first term, we are virtually guaranteed to start a new Cold War with Russia with those two at the helm.

As for the question posted earlier on whether Obama is up to the job, yes he is. He is very sharp politically and intellectually, and his advisors are top notch too.

exactly mike ............thats the point ! they dont leave tips in the vietnamese as they see it not worthy of their hard earned banking wages . but everywhere in the USA you tip ! thats how the staff get paid .........

Mike-

I am going against ya on this one...sounds like you are arguing just to argue. You NEVER EVER in the US leave nothing...the only time that is acceptable is when you find some crazy stuff in your food. 10% is the min on a terrible meal/service.

Never understood the cheap people who do not understand that it is one of the ONLY jobs that a person can support themselves without going to school. Some people are so self consumed...sad people.

That’s how it is here mate...get wit' it.
