Eisboch- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - I said that months ago but then I saw a couple of real sit down interviews and realized he is an empty suit. He has no idea where he wants to take the country, and how to get there. The questions were good (Chris Matthews) but the followups were blown off with more elegant verse. He has no handle on the middle east, is blinded by ideology on energy and the connection to security, and he has no place as commander and chief of anything. Nice guy, make a great first selectman.... |

I am a believer that, just like a company, the president need not be an Einstein. He/she simply has has to *know* that they aren't an Einstein and surround themselves with a good, talented and smart staff that believe in the overall principles/ideals that the he/she (the President) subscribes to. I wouldn't disagree with that to a point. They don't have to be close to an Einstein, but a basic competency would go a long, long, way. Arrogant and stupid is not the right package, as the past 8 years has shown. I'm not saying McCain is either, but I am suspicious, just suspicious, that his best years are behind him. |

One of my concerns is McCain's brain power. I've noticed on several occasions, his aides feeding him lines. So far, it could just be campaign fatigue, but it is something to keep an eye on.

Harry .... read carefully what I wrote before you jump the gun. Eisboch He sure as hell looked and sounded like a President during the speech he just gave in Berlin, even when he said, "My father grew up herding goats in Kenya." Obama is no Einstein, and I agree that level of IQ is not necessary, but you don't want a blooming idiot whose mind shows the impact of booze and drugs in the White House, and that's what we have now. Obama is presidential. John McCain is a Bush retread. |

wrote in message ... Obama is a publicity stunt gone bad.... Call it instinct, call it whatever .... but ... What is starting to bother me about Obama when I listen to him respond to some tough, "touchy" questions, is how he hems and haws a bit ... gets a little tongue-tied .... while searching his mind for the politically correct response. Seems to me, ideals, values, plans, beliefs, etc. should be second nature and on the tip of your tongue. He thinks too much and I am not sure it's for the right reasons. Eisboch |

Eisboch As opposed to the president we have now, who apparently doesn't think at all? Fast Draw McBush? |

Want to hear something really weird? I don't think he's going to be the nominee. I think Hillary is going to gum up the works. |

They must have a secret weapon hiding in the wings. But who could save the democrats at this late date? Get your McCain/Romney bumper sticker before they run out. |
