What change exactly is he proposing to make...He seems to act like he is some sort of Alien from another planet and above the petty "human" faults all us other poor slobs are subject too.

Bingo. Ever listened to his speeches? Change, change, change... and no solid plan. He's selling "blue sky" and frankly, if he does get the Presidential job, I expect him to be dodging bullets within 6 months anyway.

IMO, he's in it for the history books... First Black, oh 'cuse me, "African-American" President...

There are plans and policies, for each of the candidates. You won;t get that from the speeches because TV hates broadcasting policy; it's Serious and Difficult To Analyse.
But it's all there, you just have to go look for it

Actually that's a positive thing in my opinion. I'd think that someone looking to make their place in the history books is less likely to allow his reputation to be sullied.

In all seriousness the Secret Service is probably already thinking about that. They've probably had a lot of OJT with Bush who will probably be the most protected ex in our history.

Actually Bush will be the first President under the new "10 year" rule.

In the past former presidents and their spouses received protection for the rest of their lives. This has been changed. Starting with Bush former presidents and spouses will receive protection for 10 Years.

The same 10 year rule will apply to McCain or Obama.

If Hillary Clinton is elected President, she will continue receiving protection under the old "spousal" rule for the rest of her life.

Obama has been under advanced protection for a while, as far as I know it doesn't usually start until the nominee is decided.

Take from that what you will.

That means someone can toilet roll his house in ten years.

OK who decided that Florida and Michigan wouldn't be counted? Question 2, would Hillary have know about this before the whole thing began? I assume that things like this the candidates are aware of before they start running. In running terms that's like being told there is a hole in the middle of the course don't fall in, and no one complains until they have fallen in.

Help a Brit who doesn't understand the US way of electing people.
