I often wonder if America would be better or worse now,if John and Sarah won and Obama lost.
I don't think so necessarily, in fact we might be exactly the same with one exception and that is the Majority of people would blame "President McCain" for where we are rather than "President Bush".
i think the real question is "why do people think it matters which bozo is in the White House?"
I'd like to see you say that to the parents of a soldier slain or maimed in Iraq or Afghanistan. It matters.
I have tried to get one Obama critic to admit the best man won and in reality deep down they are glad he did. I guess that would be like saying they were wrohg headed and that's too much to ask.
Hi Junko. I will admit I believe the best man won.
That is not to say I believe the best candidate for office won.
But IMHO that candidate was a she, not a he.
Was a time I admired McCain very much.
Not the right person to do this job at this juncture in history, however.
In restrospect, I really wish McCain had won the 2000 GOP primary. He might have won against Gore, and it's possible that as a veteran of a misguided war himself, McCain might have taken a moment or two to think about the probable consequences of invading Iraq.
I totally agree with you Jeff,
McCain would have been a great president in 2000 and he does have the needed experience and enough common sense to lead America. Bush was a total disaster and we are going to pay his mistakes - both in foreign policeies and domestic affairs - for a very long time.
They say that "every country has the leader they deserve". I will say NO to that; the hard working, decent American people deserve a lot better

The Republicans will not get away with this "Better off than four years ago" business. They already said that they will do anything to bring down the government and the first Black president. Apparently, they were prepared to destroy our nation in the process.For the most recent ...

Were you better off before or after Obama became the president?Tell the truth! I'm not referring to the nation's economy. I'm referring to your personal household.

Obama administration? Why? Why not?

Are you better off now than you were when Obama assumed office in January of 2009?This weekend I watched the news shows and not one Obama surrogate gave a straight answer. So now I ask you since the past 4 years has taken its toll on you.
