Why Obama Can’t Go to Washington
It is being reported this morning that, while John McCain has returned to Washington to lend his experience and influence to the bailout negotiations, Obama has remained on the campaign trail.
In truth, Obama can do nothing else. On the stump, Obama is a rock star with a huge popular following. In Washington, however, he is little more than a still-wet-behind-the-ears freshman legislator with little influence among his colleagues. Obama would look small and insignificant standing next to McCain in a city where the former P.O.W. is highly revered.
Obama may be popular among naive, gullible voters but, in D.C. he’s a newbie who hasn’t earned his stripes. If elected President, I suspect that he will quickly be relegated to “lame duck” status, even by his own party.
That’s probably the the main issue in this situation.
Either McCain or Obama is going to be elected as president so it just comes down to who’s the most competent and who has the most experience. That is, without a single doubt, John McCain.
Besides experience it is also a matter of keeping things the way they are. George Bush is considered a failure among more three quarter of the US population. But that’s nonsense because John McCain supported the re-election of George Bush and only McCain is willing to continue the ideas, plans and philosophy of the Bush administration.
We don’t need change, healthcare for everyone regulated by the government, more spending on education, other energy sources or a pullback of our troops that are winning the war against Iraq and the terrorists. We need things to stay as they are.
Tax is also a big thing where Barack Obama seems to be very inexperienced. He wants to give tax cuts to everyone and close loopholes in the tax system for businesses. This will result in more regulations for businesses and a raise of taxes for people who make more than 250.000 a year. This hurts hard working people who are earning the millions per year they deserve and all that Barack Obama thinks of is giving tax cuts to ordinary people..
All I know is that I like how things are divided right now and the neo-conservative way is the way to think. Forget change.
Oh, wow. I have been beguiled by your reverse psychology and will be voting for Barack Obama. Your biting sarcasm has shown me the error of my ways…. yeah, right.
