Well being English & therefore inherently distrustful of all politicians I must say I'm not particularly impressed with either of them. Obviously the coverage of the election race isn't as in depth here as in the USA
(thank god) so I can't give a fully informed opinion, but from what I've seen of both men neither really seem to have any answers to the problems facing the USA & the world in general.
McCain just seems to be saying he's different to Bush but from what I can tell his policies are just the same. Also, the guy is kinda frail & he looks like he could pop his glogs at any second. I mean the shock of becoming President could be enough to finish him off :lol: & then we'd have President Palin, NO THANK YOU
. I mean with Palin I probably
"would" but that doesn't mean I think she should become President.
The issue I have with Obama is that in the UK we had 10 years of Tony Blair. Blair in 1997 was coming out with all these sound bites & promises like being "Purer then pure". But, he turned out to be the most disappointing, lying, underhanded & corrupt Prime Minister the country has ever had. So when I see Obama coming up with stuff like
"We are the ones we've been waiting for. We are the change that we seek" & see him trying to be like JFK in Germany before he's even won the election, it kinda rings alarm bells in my head.
What I want from a politician is someone who can pin point a country's problems, have well thought out solutions to these problems & tell me the kind of society they want to create as a result of these solutions. And I want all this to be presented clearly & honestly.
Neither McCain or Obama have done that
(from what I've seen). Still, my vote would go to Obama.
