1) He is incredibly smart.
2) His vision for America is about unity. Not a "real America", but the whole country.
3) He believes that if the lower income people have more money that they will spend some and it will be good fro the economy. Not if rich people have more money they will let a little fall out of their pocket for the rest of us.
4) He is a man for the future, not an old man living in the past.
Now generalisimo can tell us how John McCain is all of those things as well.
Ready, set, go...

I'll be getting a check. It is called a paycheck and under Obama I should be able to keep a little more of it. Hooray for me!

Obama will take away the ability of small businesses to succeed.

Originally posted by CliffLandinSo you're not in the 40% that don't pay any taxes. You're just in the lower income wage earners that do pay taxes. Guess i'll be getting a check also. Couldn't be much. Think i'll give it away to the Montagnard (sp) Foundation.

Originally posted by ale1552So, the job increase during the Clinton years was an anomaly? He is only raising taxes for the wealthiest Americans to the same rate that it was under Clinton and less than it was under Reagan. So please elaborate how this will "take away the ability of small businesses to succeed". He is also going to eliminate capital gains for small businesses and cut their taxes. How is this going to "take away the ability of small businesses to succeed"?

Most politicians have charisma levels similar to my left shoe.....
Also don't people like all politicians because of the Image they project.... Being that the image they project is usually tied to their campaign strategy and their policies.... What exactly does McCain (or Obama for that matter) have that isn't part of his image? Most politicians are as straight as bananas and need an "image" as you put it, to cover then fact that their simply power hungry and get a pay rise if elected to higher office.
My opinion of it all is that both candidates are intelligent people and will do a better job that the big eared chimp running the place at the minute. However McCain seems to have decided that the Chimp's policies were ok and wants to keep much of them, which is bad. Plus he picked a raving lunatic for a running mate..... Seriously she actually believes there were dinosaurs on the earth at the same time as humans.... Can the US really afford to have her facing down Putin with her finger on the big red button (Revelations ending much).... Voting for her is pure insanity.......

3. He is charismatic.
4. Internationally people seem to like him. Maybe if the US elects him they will like us even more!!.
5. He claims he will get us out of Iraq, whatever that means.
Any others?
In other words, you vote because of the ISSUES! Or is this something completely foreign to you yanks? Is this why virtually all of your campaigns centre around ridiculous things like clothing expenses?

Originally posted by MexicoWell, I don't really think it matters whether the politician is charismatic or not, you don't vote for someone because of his or her charisma, you vote for someone because of their policies and ideology.

And as I said in other threads, Im not a Sarah Palin fan, I do think McCain would be a good president, but there's no way Palin is the right person to be VP, I still remember all that thing about the Russians invading Alaska...
