Obama

I haven't drunk the Kool Aid yet, but I'm adding sugar and stirring briskly. In a perfect world Obama would be older and better on the fly. Able to leap tall buildings in a single bound....But he's not. But John McCain is a man I would vote most likely to use our military as a cure for Erectile Dysfunction. It's not about age as much as attitude.

The reality is that America is not the only Democracy or even the best functioning Democracy anymore. Our Economy is worse than it looks/ $4 gas is the tip of an iceberg that includes the migration of good jobs for lower middle class folk and a debt that our children and grandchildren will have to pay with wages from jobs that will pay less and less. May I take your order please?

The Democrats are better on the economy and I believe Obama when he says that he will pull the best of the best into his administration. He hasn't been on the scene long enough to have many political debts, so I take him at his word. Deeper still, he seems humble enough to negotiate and compromise when it's in the best interest of everyone involved. That goes for Foreign and domestic issues. The politics of all or nothing my way or the Highway with us or against us is the reason our economy is addicted to Chinese capital and Arabian oil. We need a smart guy in office and he's the best hope left.

The cold war is over and we need to be a nation that can be prosperous and GOOD in the absence of an enemy to focus on. I don't love him, but I like him and am not afraid to give him a try.
