Will Obama or McCain be a good president when it comes to foreign relations and the economic system
Obama! Both on foreign relations and economy. It's called communication and diplomacy, something that the stubborn and ignorant rarely comprehend. That being said, if a person likes more of the same slow sluggish economy of trickle down economics and poorly ran tactics of wars that risk generations of our young men and women unnecessarily... by all means vote McSame.
Last night Obama gave the most appropriate speech with the best presentation, that I've ever heard from a presidential candidate accepting nomination. He topped Reagan. Obama's running an educated campaign. It was blatantly obvious for those paying attention to current events and are unbiased, that the US doesn't need nor should want John McCain (Bush crony) anywhere near the White House after the upcoming election.
YouTube - Barack Obama Acceptance Speech
All the educated Republicans should be jumping ship about right now. John McCain is the Republican version of Walter Mondale, as is Sarah Palin is now their Geraldine Ferraro. I saw on CNN that the reaction is not favorable for McCain's VP pick. It's already having a backlash among the far majority of the once ardent Hillary Democrats and even some moderate Republican women. Apparently John McCain has insulted all women across America with his last minute desperate measure to expose his skirt VP selection. John McCain is not fit to serve burgers at the local Sonic, with or without skates.
Prior to becoming Governor of Alaska, Palin was the mayor of a town of less than nine thousand people. People need to realize the total population of the State of Alaska is about the size of one mid size city, for example Austin (Texas). Meaning Palin actually has no experience or understanding of the complexity of large inner city issues, such as hard drugs trafficking and gang crime. John McCain has only met Palin once before. Once! This is the single most important decision a presidential candidate can make and the seventy-two year old John McCain blew it on a salmon fishing caribou herder that was chairman down at the local Moose lodge.
Cmon' BABRAM, is that the best you got, cut and past from another answer?Quote:

Obama will destroy the economy, with his huge plans to redistribute the wealth in the US.
You're ignorance is making my point on why people should not vote for John McCain. If you disagree with my words, then show me. I'll debate you and then you'll run for the hills as usual. Better yet, DonaldM_23 deserves more than your poor weak flaming retorts. BTW I won't sue myself for plagiarism. These are my words from yesterday and today, and they still ring true!Quote:

Do you have a link to your religious organization that I can review. I'd really like to know where they come up with that notion.Quote:

Why waste your time and effort. McCain has the next hundred years planned. He'd get bored after Iraq and invade Canada. :eek:

Obama for sure. Everything I've read about McCain makes me scared if he were to become president
One has been involved in matters related to foreign policy either working for the Navy as liaison to the US Senate or in the US Senate holding positions in key foereign policy matters since 1977... McCain
The other was a "comminity organizer" whatever that is ;who's single claim to foreign policy before entering the US Senate in 2006 was making an obscure speech opposing the war in Iraq. In the US Senate he was given the chair of the Senate Foreign Relations subcommitee on European Affairs(which has some oversight on NATO). But he has been campaigning for the Presidency since he entered the US Senate ;only staying in the building long enough to find his office and the Mens Room. He has held no committee hearings at all about NATOs role in Afghanistan even though he claims to want to expand their role and ours in the fight.Joe Biden when he was running against Obama in the primaries pointed out that Obama had borrowed some of Biden's ideas about the Afghan conflict and had been late to arrive at those positions. Biden said that not only had Obama held no hearings in his own subcommitee ;but that Obama had rarely attended even the full Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearings. NATO has not lived up to it's commitments in Afghanistan but Obama continues to blame President Bush .
There is no question in my mind that McCain would be heads and shoulders above Obama in areas of foreign relations.
Neither of them impress me much in their knowledge of the economy .However I have seen Obama's advisers in action and prefer the advice McCain is getting from his economic team.Obama gave us a laundry list of new programs he would initiate during his acceptance speech . Then he promised a massive tax cut and claimed he would pay for his programs by imposing punitive taxes on businesses . That is a recipe for economic disaster.
Hello:
One is 72 and is a cancer survivor. He chose as his running mate, a young woman who has NO experience.
Vote for the one who has a chance at surviving his first term without leaving us with a rookie at the helm of the most powerful country in the world. Actually, I think it was reallly stupid for him to pick her.

Just to irritate you a mite, have you considered the possibility that down the road you could be saying "president Palin"? It is not inconceivable.Quote:

Your man NObama is the elitist, everyone knows that.
Are you talking about the economy that GREW by 3.3% in the second quarter of THIS YEAR?
My God, that is terrible isn't it?
Your gloom and doom NObama won't mention that, will he.
He won't mention that while he promised to eliminate the capital gains tax on small businesses, that the truth is, small businesses don't pay capital gains tax, they pay income tax, which he WILL RAISE. But it sure sounded good, didn't it?
He continues to lie, saying that McCain sides with GW over 90% of the time, but the facts prove that to be an outright lie as well.
As to my response, at least I didn't just copy my answer from another question, and paste it here, like your intelligent example.
Enjoy the holiday weekend.

Give it up already.
You left out the part that said this number refers to "recently" but that the percentage is much less in earlier years.Quote:

Isn't that a lot for a Democrat, as compared to Republican voting with a Republican?
My view-Obama is an excellent leader.He is talented.Obama would be great for foreign relations... but the name of the next president is JOHN McCAIN. Dot!
Haha-I will give you two trucks more.And a bus,too.Let's make them Queen Elizabeth's subjects.Great!! :)Quote:

Obama made a lot of half truths,outright lies and distortions in his acceptance address. I guess it is probably true that McCain voted 95% of the time with President Bush but it is undeniable that on many issues there is serious disagreement between them. I will post them even though some of them are issues I have against McCain
One of the biggest distortion in the percentage is that most Senate votes are unanimous .So by Obama's logic the Democrats vote the majority of the time with the President also.
- McCain fought for campaign finance reform — McCain-Feingold — that Bush resisted and ultimately signed because he had no choice.
- McCain led the battle to restrict interrogation techniques of terror suspects .
- McCain went with Joe Lieberman on a tough measure to curb climate change,
- McCain opposed the Bush tax cuts when they passed.
- McCain urged the Iraq surge, a posture Bush rejected for years before conceding its wisdom.
- McCain favors FDA regulation of tobacco and sponsored legislation to that effect, a position all but a handful of Republican senators oppose.
- McCain's energy bill, also with Lieberman, is a virtual blueprint for energy independence and development of alternate sources.
- After the Enron scandal, McCain introduced sweeping reforms in corporate governance and legislation to guarantee pensions and prohibit golden parachutes for executives. Bush opposed McCain's changes and the watered-down Sarbanes-Oxley bill eventuated.
- McCain has been harshly critical of congressional overspending, particularly of budgetary earmarks, a position Bush only lately adopted (after the Democrats took over Congress).

The last time we had a surplus was when a DEMOCRAT ran things. The last time we had deficit was when a REPUBLICAN ran things. HE printed zillions of $$$'s and HE put the dollar into a nosedive. HE never vetoed a spending bill until the DEMOCRATS took over congress.
By the way, your REPUBLICAN said he doesn't know anything about the economy, and his adviser said we're a nation of whiners... THOSE are the people you want running things?? How can your side run the country when you can't figure out that crap??
