But...but....but

I think John Mccain must be a genuinely nice person, and I feel the same about Obama.
But their backgrounds are very different. Mccain is just a front man for the Republican party.
An old man with a temper, and a chip on his shoulder. Do you really want someone at his age holding the nuclear keys to this country, especially since his axe to grind was as a POW? You like PTSD? He has been pampered as a multi-millionaire since he got back to this country and he was raised among admirals and had to dress for prepared dinners even as a child.

Or do we want someone who works for the common man and really wants to make a difference in his country? McCain is a career politician, used for fundraisers and showcase events. Obama has rolled up his sleeves and is ready to get work WITH the people and BY the people. He won't roll over, and if he's having a bad day, he'll think of his family's future here in America, whereas McCain won't.

With that kind of wealth, his kids are already well taken care of.
I'm tired of the very wealthy and priviledged telling us how it's going to be.
We need people who are in touch with the largest percentage of Americans.
