Voters indeed want a change--but I don't think either Obama or McCain know what change the voters want. The voters themselves may not know what change they want.
There is only one change in the election and that is Obama. For America to have a black President and a President who has a complex view of the world rather than the usual simplistic view of guys black hats and guys in white hats, would be a change for America. Apart from the probable good it would do for America itself to reject the failed policies of the Republicans, it would stop world wide anti-Bushism becoming world wide anti-Americanism. McCain, is more of the same, Palin is more of the same in a dress, xenophobic, simplistic and deranged. The failure of Obama would be seen as a rejection of political maturity for the security of a xenophobic comfort zone that will prove not only bad for the world but bad for America too.
Sadly, Obama's black skin will probably see him fail.
Meat, a "complex view of the world?"
Any president had better have a complex view of the U.S.
That's the job.
In so far as they have to deal with foreign countries and leaders they should leave the Taxpayer's checkbook at home.
The People of the U.S. are going to be electing *our* president not a "world president."
And a lot of people in the U.S. would prefer that our government keep "foreign affairs" to a minimum.
I think that can be done without being labeled "xenophobic" which means "a fear of foreigners."
The problem with dealing with (most) foreign countries is that they always have their hands out looking for the Taxpayer's money.
This Taxpayer doesn't want to give them any!
As for Obama he'll lose.
And hopefully so will Pelosi.
The Democrats have had control of the house and senate now for two years and they've done absolutely nothing!
Pelosi won't even keep the house in session!
They ran on the platform of getting our Troops out of Iraq but they're still there!
They couldn't get that done in Two Years?
And as for Bush he'll be gone in Jan.
People will barely remember him by June.
Two DUDS in a row and they both went to "YALE!"
Everybody...has their hands out...wall street, foreigners, agricultural corps., defense industry (Boeing and the AF conspired to fleece another $270 million Wash., Post 9/10). Haliburton and Carlyle group.
Most foriegn aid is contingent on being spent here in the US...another liberal program, those for profits.
If your poltical assessment is true than the electorate should be flocking to the dems.
It was the republicans who:
...got us into a war on a lie at $10 billion a month...$1.5 billion from our children.
...for 6 years having both houses along with the great liar as pres...sat on their profits, lifted no moratorium, passed no drilling bill and created the $4/gal gas. So now the dems are castigated for not doing what the repubs didn't do for those 6 years
...for 2 years since and far too much unlike the dems have used the power of a large enough minority to stop the dems from doing anything. Bush vetoed one bill...the dems and that was over ridden.
The repubs have absolutely no policy credibility at all. They MUST resort to 'identity' politics and the electorate being about 1/2 of otherwise eligible voters...are politically fickle...are buying it. Identity politics works.
The 'indentity' problem just might have this country precipitate 4-8 years more of this and just might see such inflation and debt that could all but bankcrupt this country. But then we put in over a billion man/hrs a day so why not leverage that to the hilt. Afterall...we are here to make some money...the rest is intrigue.
