I dunno, but think Obama is the best of the two. I don't put much stock in pre-election antics. They'll say whatever their paid experts tell them. The same goes for speechwriters. The speechwriters listen in to what's going on and sometimes confer with the candidates. Then they write a speech based on such information. Often, I heard, the candidate doesn't ever read it completely before speaking it. Georgie W. even talked about cutting down on the size of government. FDR ran on a neutrality ticket. What they're saying now doesn't mean a thing.

Once they're elected, they go on with their real projects, the way they've planned all along. I looked up Obama's past, and he seems like a fairly likable guy and not an elitist. He does seem to have spent most of his adult life getting ready to run for this office, though. His contemporaries, from childhood on, could never seem to pin him down in his beliefs. He does seem more sympathetic to the needs of others, and other countries, than McCain.

McCain, though, is an open book, literally. I have no doubt that he believes much the same as Georgie, though not as religious. He still believes in that Evil Russia syndrome. Get them or they'll get us. I think that is sooooo last century. Really. Since we don't have any real enemies right now, invent some. What better enemy than our old standby, Russia. He's set in his ways and will never change. There would never be a hint of peace during his tenor.

The Terrorist threat seems to have fallen through. Evil Iran seems to be cooling down. With still no proof of any kind that they are after nuclear weapons, much of the world is either laughing at us, or at least repressing giggles. Some, like Pakistan, pay us lip service while taking our money but are poo-pooing both concepts.

Cheney won't give up. He still wants his old Cold War back, and is working on Poland, Georgia, and the Ukraine. For one thing, I think we'd have much more hope for peace in the Middle East if we built a high wall around Israel and isolated them from their neighbors.

No matter who wins, taxes will have to be eventually raised. If for nothing else, to save the dollar, as well as we have to start paying for our current excesses. If we continue these senseless wars, we'll also have to start a draft. Our current soldiers are worn out, and a draft is cheaper than paying ever-increasing bonuses for enlistment.

Voting for a third-party that doesn't stand a chance is simply wasting a vote. McCain is a vote for 4 to 8 more years of Bush's policies. So, the only thing left is Obama. That's the way I think.

Malodor told me that, originally, Georgie asked her husband, Oscar, to run. But his boss, Dickie, told them "NO!" At least, that's what Oscar told her.

Oscar in 2012. Malodor would make a wonderful First Lady,( or Skunk?)
