I have survived the last eight years while an imbecile occupied the White House. I can’t help but think how much better of a place the world would be, if in 2000 we wouldn’t have elected the village idiot, but instead the man who has since proven to be a leader. But let’s not go there.
It’s time to elect a new president. Although presumptive, we appear to have a choice between John McCain and Barack Obama. McCain is the seasoned veteran (in more than one way), while Obama is the rookie.
Obviously, the status quo isn’t working. I would welcome almost anyone to the presidency after our current faux-pas. Either McCain or Obama would be a welcome change. Both are infinitely more qualified, and would hopefully find less astringent aids. (Who am I kidding, Daffy Duck would be a welcome change, be more qualified and would find less astringent assistants. Finally, there would be some intelligent conversation from the powers-that-be.)
I should state that neither man is my ideal. (Nor is Hillary.) None have taken a staunchly pro-gay stance. None have taken a strong enough position on protecting the environment. None have argued apologizing to France and Germany for our outwardly hostile stance to their opposition to the war in Iraq. Take note folks, the French and Germans were right. Face it, both candidates are right wing from my angle.
One recent event crystallizes the election in my mind. That is McCain’s commercial mentioning Obama in the same paragraph as Paris Hilton and Britney Spears.

First, I have to say that I believe, with no reservations, that Spears and Hilton are symptomatic of what is wrong with America. The fact that we know who they are means we are a lesser people. (Okay, at least Spears has musical talent; Hilton has no discernable talent, other that she is pretty and she comes from money.) That McCain brought them into the election pretty much wipes out any credibility he had with me. Obama in no way resembles those two wastes-of-breath, and McCain's glorifying those two worthless people offends me to no end.
But there is one other reason I will staunchly oppose McCain.
His picture is below.
Remember, you could destroy so much with your vote.
