Obama: The One - What will he do.

For the next 37 days - until the election plus one or two - it is really all about these two men and their vision.

Americans will line up behind one or the other. Regardless of which one that wins, 1/2 the population will not agree with his vision.

I believe that Biden and Obama are nothing but the same old same, that Obama is Jimmy Carter/Ted Kennedy wrapped into a Mondale/Dukakis/McGovern mold, in a new package.

McCain, however much Obama wants to paint him as yet another Bush minion, is not. he has proven he is not. Maverick - I am tired of that word, but he is not Bush and he is not going to follow another four years of Bush.

Both Obama and McCain have stated they would have been tougher on Russia regarding Georgia.

Obama has said he would push Pakistan to go after Al Qaida - if they do not, the US would not release monies the Bush administration has promised and has been paying.

Obama has no idea what he is saying and anyone advising him is just as naive. There is an assumption - that the government in Pakistan is in total control. That is just not accurate. Several provinces of Pakistan are not under control of the government and in one, control is exerted via money and bribes only. If Obama pushes, it could throw Pakistan into civil war leaving the nuclear weapons available to the extremists, forcing the US to consider military action to secure the weapons, thereby pushing Pakistan even further away from the US and into the al qaida orbit - all because Obama has a naive view of the world.

Further, these actions he (Obama) would take toward Georgia and Russia - requires a build up of our military. The complicated answer is - he has an economic agenda that requires a LOT OF MONEY coming from somewhere (and if 95.5% will pay less) and that somewhere will be the military budget (a la Bill Clinton). How then can he possibly stand up to Russia?

The answer: he can't and he knows it and he intends to take the US down the same road as Britain and France. Unable to respond to world crisis on our own, dependent upon world consensus to get military action.

For this reason alone he deserves to be sent back to the Senate and ignored whenever he speaks.
