now, let's be real, both mccain and obama are politicians. personally, i believe that obama has a fresher perspective on the issues that concern this nation and an agenda that is more in the best interests of most of the public (like his health care agenda, among others). he also has a diverse background which helps give him a wider perspective. i also believe that he will do an outstanding job of protecting the nation, with less of an ulterior motive than john mccain will. mccain has similar plans to george w. bush, so with him in office, there won't really be any true changes.
i think that mccain as president will anger the international community at large because his foreign policies are that much similar to bush's policies. with obama around, the international community will be more inclined to start doing business with us again. mccain, like bush, is a trigger happy guy and he will do nothing but cause people to hate america even more than they already do. his appetite for destruction should be taken into serious consideration. it is no secret that mccain has a terrible temper.
on the other hand, obama has a temper that he can control. he won't make decisions based off of his anger, like mccain WILL. plus, remember mccain's agenda. the guy said that he has plans to keep the troops in iraq for 100 more years!! think about how much trouble that will cause. obama is cool-tempered and uses his head. we know this from when he was tested by hillary during the primary season and still remained cool. he has better judgment than mccain. i think that there is a lot of toughness behind obama's diplomatic demeanor. not only will he protect the nation, but he has been a student to the affairs of the past 8 years and will go above the call of duty to protect this country to the surprise of many who doubt he can. he has studied the mistakes of george bush for 8 years and mccain was agreeing with them for 8 years. therefore, obama is less likely to commit those mistakes, and mccain is more likely to commit them because he has similar thinking to bush.
obama will do a good job. in addition to that, he will repair our standing as a likable country, which mccain clearly will not do. remember, bill o'reilly just admitted last night that he now believes that obama is a tough guy. he will do just as good of a job of protecting us from a terrorist plot as bill clinton, who also had no military experience. so, obama should be given a chance. it is time for something new.
