2008 Election, or another year of BS
First off, I didnt like Bill and Hillary Clinton when Bill was in office, first because they didnt put their financial holdings into a trust after the election and did so only after making a killing off their health care related stocks, right before they announced sweeping health care reforms.
Plus, I have a problem with Hillary wearing that 'stand by my man' smile after she has been cheated on who knows how many times. She would have looked better if she would have filed for divorce, left his ass and ran for office then. At least she would look like she has some common sense.
Obama seems to have a good head on his shoulders, even seems to have the idea that things can be better for everyone, without ripping the country apart to get there.
Jim McCain? Oh, Please! Do you really think a real honest to god war hero is going to stand up and do something about Iraq? Christ, this guy will probably decide to attack Iran for good measure.
Yeah I served in the army, but I have a major problem with presidents who use the military to enforce political pressure over seas.
Personally, I think we would be better off having some one that is a total unknown to anyone, a real wild card. Someone with the perfect poker face, that no one can even guess when he is bluffing and when he is serious. The kind of guy that would wear mirrored sunglasses to a meeting with a foreign head of state. The kind of person that would look across a negotiating table and say, "Screw you, this is bullshit and you and I both know it. Either tell the truth or get the f*ck out of here!"
And then as the foreign leader is thinking that one over, this kind of president would call up the Joint Chiefs and ask "What do we have near such and such, and how soon can we attack? Oh, it technically aint a sneak attack, their president is right here. He just cant tell anyone."
Then give the poor slob a few minutes to sweat.
In other words, a person that knows how to bluff, and when to turn the bluff into reality. Kinda like JFK during the missile crisis.
A President that would know how to use EMP as a weapon, to knock out everything in a hostile or rogue nation. There are alternatives to nukes to do this by the way.
It would beat sending troops in on the ground.
