Next President of the United States

[Type941]

I think that McCain here was defended unfairly.

1. He is old. US senators don't seem to have an age limit and serve till death, sex scandal or voluntarily retirment it seems, to put it bluntly. Judging by quality of McCain's arguments, it's obvious he is just getting a bit old to be a president of USA. He's just fine to be a good old uncle, grandpa, run a hardware store even. But Senator or President? I think it's bit too much for him already, and in 4 years it will be way too much. I wouldn't even care THAT much about his age had he picked a decent VP. But he has an idiot with IQ of 83 and SAT score of 850 or whatever it was. That crazy bitch scares the bejezus out of me, i kid you not.

2. McCain has experience? Sure he does. By virtue of his age. but his history is full of black spots. He is not a maverick (although it's nice to see people actually buying into this crap, haha). The guy has been there for so long that he is Washington insider to the dot. Hence, another minus.

3. He is not a hero in general sense of a word. He is a war vet, from Vietnam. Yes, he refused to be released when had the chance. that's commendable. But he also broke down under tortures, signed all confessions, participated in propoganda film, was an erratic pilot (much worse then Bush!) and leaned on his daddy whenever things got tough. I'm sorry, but there are different kind of heroes from Vietnam, even ones who didn't break down, ones who still returned, and ones who are MODEST about it. McCain uses his vietnam experience to the fullest and milking it every second he gets and hides behind it whenever on the spot. In one word, McCain I think is just a coward. The word HERO is overused when applied to McCain. But this is part of general US propoganda, its' same in every country, all soldiers are heroes, etc. But if we are realistic, that's not the case and let's be frank - Vietnam war isn't exactly finest moment in US history, neither like IRAQ. But those guys shouldnt be blamed for it, instead the governemtn should be.

4. Yes, Obama is not great, no politician is squeeky clean. but the way he is now demonized by republicans is sickening.
Anyway, someone needs to take the hit and blame for this collapse of financial markets. And it should be GOP. They can't fix this. May be neither can Obama, but he deserves a chance. McCain doesn't. He had his chances for almost 30 years. No thanks.
