Obama survives, prepares for general election

Part of the reason I didn't want to type a response was that you completely ignore any response and stick to your talking points (i.e. namecalling) so it usually ends up just a time-wasting exercise. Now that you asked so nicely, and if you promise to behave, here is my response.

Problem with your whole hypothesis is that you mistakenly believe that I actually like Obama, so I will be jumping up and joy trying to defend him. I don't. I do disagree with you on several things though. I don't think Obama is either racist or elitist. And I disagree with you that his pastor being a moron should impact his presidential campaign. I do think he speaks very well, which is a pleasant departure from the current President who is basically a bumbling idiot.

However, and this is probably the kicker here, I think Obama is very inexperienced and his presidency (at least the first term) will be a disaster. Here is why I say that. He will raise taxes and will try to turn US into a hybrid socialist/communist country with government trying to interfere in every thing. I don't like either democrats' fiscal policies one single bit. Obama's foreign policy experience is slightly less than nil, and his public statements reflect a frightening level of naivete and impracticality. His domestic policies towards minorities may be a tad bit fairer compared to Bush, but as B Clinton so clearly demonstrated, don't think ACLU will have nothing to do.

The most important prediction I do make is that all of the above that I typed is pretty much moot and irrelevant. I think McCain will win the genercall elections. Despite all his short-comings, the unending and bruising primary campaign of the democrats has practically offered US Presidency to McCain on a platter.

So there you go. No name calling to diss a guy I don't like. No temper tantrums. Just plain personal opinions.

Cheers!
