Interesting you should say this. While I'm tending towards Obama, my
decision hasn't been made. 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.

I sort of like McCain personally, but I think he is over the hill, and
is suffering from lapses that would be dangerous for this country in
these times. McCain would have been a great president had he been
elected in 2000, but not now.

We need to get the hell out of Iraq, as quickly as possible. That is not
going to happen with McCain in the White House. Also, McCain hasn't a
clue about the issues that impact most Americans, and if he picks
someone like Romney as a veep, it'll be more of the same: screwing what
remains of the middle class to further enrich the rich.

Mrs. Clinton was my first choice, but I have no problems with Barack
Obama as president. He's smart, ballsy, and I really think he cares
about ordinary people. The bonus is that he won't nominate any
right-wing screwballs to the Supreme Court, and he won't initiate
actions that curtail civil liberties.

I really don't know many people who could put up with the rigors of the
presidential campaign.

Agreed, and with all the abuse, the scrutinizing, you wonder why they
would want to, but they did make the choice.

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.

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.

This opinion is based upon what, your interactions with other neglectful
parents at the Kiddie Abuse Motorcycle Racing Track?

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.
