What do you look for when determining our next president? ?
I would not consider myself politically informed, but it amazes me what people look at when trying to determine our next president. To me i care about which person overall can best represent the US and who can guide her down the best overall path in the future. To me individual topics are not sole reason to vote one way or another, nor is if they smoked pot, or if they fought in a war, or if there 3rd cousin was in jail, i mean do any of these things make dealing with congress easier? I mean what is important to you when choosing our next commander in chief.

trickle down economics (mccain's plan) has been proven a failure time and time again.
of the choices, obama is better for the economy.
he also has the confidence/ adaptability/ foresight/ comprehension skills/ intelligence/ and bright impromptu thinking of a great leader.
and he is less likely to be a stooge to lobbyists (corruption) like mclobbyist himself: see my source
Hillary isn't a liar. She is a magnificient liar and she or he's universally enjoyed for it by using her supporters. She is particularly in demand for it. throughout the bill Clinton presidency, it grew to become obtrusive that the president and the 1st lady have been locked in a nil sum recreation of theory. The greater perfect human beings perceived her, the weaker they felt he develop into. Early in his tenure, information thoughts have been rife approximately Hillary’s magnificent impression on appointments, coverage and political technique. each and every of those leaks sapped self assurance in bill Clinton’s capability and delivered approximately a drop in his rankings. Watch this night each and every time she approaches a microphone, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton labors below the will of fudging on her application - offering, particularly, a man made character and considered one of those ballot-examined bromides that enable her duck key subject concerns.
I look to keep our nation safe, therefore, have a strong military. I support our work in iraq and afghan because it heeps the fighting on their soil not ours, i do not think we need to pull out and we will have peace. we won't. other than the military, I want minimal government involvement in our lives and economy. the less government we have, the more freedom we have and the less taxes we have taken from us. I am also a very strong pro-life supporter. I want to keep MY GUNS, Obama will take them (visit NRA.com). I believe we are owed, as law abiding citizens, all that our forefathers wrote in our constitution and ammendments, and any candidate that threatens that threatens democracy. all my life I have considered myself conservative republican. John McCain is not really my first pick by far but barrack oSama sure won't get my vote now or ever!
At this point in history, The U.S. needs a hard nose SOB who can take a firm hand and lead. Country must always come before party and the welfare and protection of American Citizens first, above all.
