Obama! Mccain?

As of today, it appears that the 2008 Presidential Election will be between Republican John Mccain, and Democrat Borak Obama. In reviewing their websites, I found that both men share many ideas about how to fix our struggling nation. Obama's main concern appears to be centered around the people which in turn would make a better country. He believes that improving the infrastructure is the best way to improve the problems. Spending more money on education, civil rights, and struggling Americans is his best approach. As a citizen of this country, I must say that I respect his plan, and hope that he can full fill it if he is elected. On bigger issues such as the war in Iraq, he appears to have the basic common sense that our current leaders seem to be lacking. He wants to remove all troops from Iraq within 16 months after his election, and that provides me with some hope of a better America. As a typical Republican, John Mccain appears to believe that investing in corporate America will better our country as a whole. He believes that strengthening border security, free trade, and government spending are bigger than issues that effect Americans on an every day level. He doesn't want to remove us from Iraq as much as he wants to invest in it. He believes we should strengthen their government, troops, and security rather then totally removing ourselves from the problem. For this reason, I am pushing against him. In a negative way, he reminds me allot of George W. Bush by the way he tries to protect social issues such as marriage, abortion, and adoption when I firmly believe that isn't any of his concern. If we have learned anything in the past 8 years, I think we as a people should vote for the person with the most character, best intentions, and strongest resolve even though that individual may not be what we have distorted to socially acceptable.
