44th President! Barack Obama by chykeo(m): 6:16pm On Aug 30, 2008
Leave Sarah Palin out of it! Consider the issues!



1 Economy--------------Bush has failed and the GOP with McCain is a part of it. America faces the worst economic crises in recent years. The economy is in a downturn. There are talks of recession. Foreclosures everywhere and the economic threat from China is not encouraging anything. Did you hear Obama's acceptance speach? China is in surplus with billions of dollars in foreign reserve while America is in deficit with billions of dollars in debt. Bill Clinton created 23 million jobs and had American economy booming. Republicans shifted it all overseas. Unemployment is high

2 Healthcare, Republicans healthcare programmes are not working. A lot of families are on waiting list for kidney donors while paying for dialysis without jobs. They are wondering how to allocate thier meagre savings whther for thioer sick child, relative or to buy more food or pay thier mortgage

3 Iraq, The Iraq government recently affirmed Obama's position of America pulling out of Iraq. John McCain is insisting for a surge. Al- Maliki, the Iraqi PM recently was asking the US for a time table for pulling out of Iraq

4 Foreign Policy, The US foreign policy has been the worst since this Bush administration. America lost a lot of respect under president bush and all the admiration they had before were erased under bush for lack of Judgement. The world is now filled with a lot of problems ranging from Iraq , Iran, Sudan, Somalia, Lebanon to Palestine. Now add Russia to it. Russia is encouraging South Ossetia and Abhkazia to break away from Georgia and China playing a big and father Christmas role globally. The only place they dont dish out thier carrot is to the United States and they are having a good time vetoing US and the Western world in the United Nations. Zimbabwe, I recently read a bill sponsored by Barack Obama for Bill asking for sanctions against Zimbabwe to get them on track. This bill was read the senate chambers early last yeareven before this Mugabe thing got out of hand. Talking about vision and judgement,

5 Abortion, Thier Lordships decided in Roe vs Wade in 1973 to make abortion by choice. This was in the real conservative period. Now it is coming up as an issue again in this election. Obama is pro choice while McCain is pro life. We wait eargerly when the debate starts.

Other issues like gay marriage, gun controls, Nafta are coming up in this election. We will see what the polls will say when Obama and McCain start debating. For now the issue is not about women; Clinton or Palin. The advisers of McCain, hinging on courting Clinton's voters with this are to me just naive. Face it. Clinton won 18 million votes of which 20% are yet to embrace Obama. That in numerical terms amounts to 1.8 million I bet when the deabtes begin, these people will no longer see Clinton as the issue but thier mortgages and thier healthcrae and thier jobs. I view it as an affront on thier intelligence by the McCain camp when they are oblivious of the women's problems and think that all women think about is gender. Be reminded that Clinto herself is for Obama, will these women now hold on to thier dissappointment when the dissappointee is now on the other side?

In thinking about these issues, McCain has voted for President Bush 90% most of the time. So he played a role in Bush's failures and can only continue this way when he loses and returns to the senate.

Ever wondered that McCain has never talked about the real problems facing Amerioca and has never came out with a solution on how to tackle any. He doesnt even know the number of houses he owns when others are struggling to own one. He has only concentrated on Obama - talking about experience. With Sarah Palin, will he attck Obama again? I think we will start talking issues now. So let the debates begin and let the polls start coming out.

Watch it! The next 44 accepted on Thursday night!
