So I've been paying a little bit of attention to the Presidential race since it may affect my immediate future drastically. There are some good and some bad about each candidate.
Hillary has lived in the White House before. I guess that is her good. The rest is bad. That's all I am going to say on that topic...
Senator McCain is another interesting choice. I like his toughness...he's an American hero and an ex-POW and leadership is in his blood. (Both his father and grandfather were both 4-star Admirals in the Navy.) I think he would make a very good President. The downside is his lack of a business background. I don't get the feeling that he understands business very well and that may be the most necessary quality at this time in our country's history. Yet, his viewpoints on the mortgage crisis we have are the exact same things I was thinking..."If you can't afford the payment don't take out the loan..." This philosophy is common sense...however it isn't very "business-savvy" speak and definitely not what many home-borrowers want to here. (People rarely want to hear the truth..."Does this make me look fat?")
Then there is Senator Obama. At first he seemed like the obvious choice. Charismatic. Good-looking. Youthful. Great speaker. He looks the part. He also wants there to be a change. Change is good and probably needed in the Beltway. However, the further into the Democratic dogfight we get, the more Obama is changing into a bitter, angry politician who wants to win by any means...which means more of the same. So much for change. He also lacks the business experience of Senator McCain, yet has not been in a beaurocratic system quite as long so his ideas can still seem fresh and youthful...
All in all we have our hands full right now. The more the Democrats battle it out, the more Senator McCain looks like the guy...
