I don’t know if McCain is really trying to lose but I and many, many others have said that nobody in his right mind would want the challenge of being the next president of this nation. To any thinking person the fact that Obama wants it so badly even though he is almost totally unqualified by experience and temperament is more than enough to scare you silly. It would take a monumental confidence in oneself to believe that you can straighten out this mess. This looks like all the labors of Hercules at once.
I do hope that Obama KNOWS he’s don’t know. At least that way he’ll surround himself with people who DO know. But it is scary to know that everything he says is something he was told to say.
Of course he is unqualified. So is McCain. But whoever wins will just gather up a bunch of bankers from Goldman Sachs and economists from Harvard, in the longstanding American tradition.
You have a point, but then again, Reagan fixed an even bigger mess. He merely stopped trying to have the government help and let the markets fix themselves. It can be done again, but will be difficult with dems in control of congress.
