Well McCain is pretty much his brother. Same views and ways. People are tired of the same old, same old. I think you were very rude to us saying we wanted Obama president just because of his color. You actually have no idea. People arent just going to tell you their life story just so you can understand why they want someone President. It just doesnt work like that. Also you say "it will take more than some fancy speeches to heal our international relations" well OF COURSE he is going to make speeches... thats all he can do right now... he isnt even in office yet!! Whats the difference from Obama making a speech from McCain... so McCain doesnt offer what he can do, what he will change??? umm... i think he does.. so whats the difference??? if you say Obama is going to have to bring more than a fancy speech... so what does McCain have to bring??? Are his speeches not fancy?? or are they boring??? i mean what do you expect Obama to do??? Burn down his house so you can understand that for once in a lifetime, a President is being real????.... i think you are too biased. i mean come on!!! can you honestly tell me you think youve actually enjoyed Bushes term??
