McClain, Obama and Clinton
McCain:
+A war hero, moderate, good at working deals, years of political experience, likable. If we go to war he would be a good war president for us to win.
-He is too old. He has a temper. He has made too many enemies in his party. He is a war hawk and will jump to war. He will harm US relations with the Russians and our allies like Bush did. Years of political experience is also a negative in this election. Not conservative for many. Poor experience on the economy.
Obama
+Brilliant, with vision, clear positions on the issues, very likable and a charmer, a new Kennedy with the pause and wisdom of an FDR to avoid war. A great number of people love him to death and it is growing. Incredible speaker.
-Young, inexperienced, Pastorgate, many can not look past his race, he is not a woman, he will have to find excellent appointments to make up for his lack of management experience. He stutters when he is thinking and it gives the wrong impression of him.
Clinton
+Well connected politically, strong following of devoted people to her, intelligent, a fighter, good speaker, good empathy for others.
-Bill, more scandals than I can list here. the Chinese money scandal, Vince Foster, Travelgate, etc....many Democrats think she could care less for the party and all she wants is to win and be president. She cannot win-half the nation say they will not vote for her no matter what.

McCain is a war hero who's integrity was such that he chose to continue to be tortured rather than accept an early release at the expense of his fellow POWs. On the other hand, he admits he knows nothing about economics as we head into a bad recession. He would also be the oldest president elected to a first term, in a job that is famous for being physically taxing.
Obama is an exceptionally charismatic orator, a brilliant scholar (President of the Harvard Law Review, etc.), and genuinely empathic about the plight of the poor. On the other hand, he had served exactly one year in the Senate before he began his run for the presidency. To me this seems to indicate a potential narcissistic disorder. In addition, it gives him little experience in government.
Hillary showed great stoicism when she put up with Bill's affairs and (because of her relentless study) is supposed to be a subject matter expert on many issues. Unfortunately, whatever her technical knowledge, she seems to be a pathological liar (under-fire in Bosnia, no idea that her billing records were in her living room!), has no core values or beliefs (Goldwater Girl to Bill's Hill), and her ambition is relentless. I frankly wonder if there is anything she wouldn't do to obtain power.

McClain-has a wealthy of political experience,not a pushover,he is his own man,very practical and no nonsense guy.However,he can be very rigid like Bob(Zimbabwe strong man-Robert Mugabe)and plunge the country into turmoil. Obama-young,energetic,very ambitious but naive and inexperienced enough to be trusted with the leadership of the most powerful country on the planet earth.
Clinton-Idealistic,smart and briliant but she can't make independent decision as long as Bill is still around,but she is very cute i wonder why she cant leave the dirty politics and join modelling.She can't make it as long as McClain is still in the race,and i kid not Don,she cant make it.

Hillary:
Hillary has years of experience, she knows politics, and can work "across the aisle" to enact legislation.
She was married to a philandering president who was impeached and the right wing hates her like no other.
John McCain:
John McCain is a true war hero who served his country like no other candidate. He will command the Armies of America better than Bush ever could, and probably better than either Democrat.
He also has admitted repeatedly he "needs to be educated" on economics. He will be the worst candidate for America's economy and in the 21st century, wars will be waged with Economics. He'll be 72 if he's elected president, and is starting to show signs of memory loss and such.
Barack Obama:
He is a great speaker, great thinker, he's got the same amount of experience in Washington as JFK had when he was elected. He's young, persuasive, eloquent, and is the only candidate who truly decried the war in Iraq before it even began. His judgement on that issue is beyond reproach.
He's probably idealistic to a fault and posibly naive in some areas. He's not in tune with the Military and will probably need to count on excellent team-building and delegation of authority in order to command the armed forces with respectabilty and authority.
How's that for "Fair and Balanced" ?

Cons- Problem with the truth, all or nothing mentality, Bill Clinton

sounds like a suicide, It should have some rhymes too. And If the person fell down, then the poem should say something about the ambulance arriving, the local newspaper headlines and maybe best friend's reaction Once I read something about the NYU kids jumping off the edge of their balcony's, that the suicide rate was high dude to the stress and pressure by the school's curriculum it's often in the papers and the news.

Am i allowed to give my feedback on? considerin i'm not an american citizen? I think, we should all forget about mcclain since we all know you'll only waste your vote if you vote for him, clinton? errr sounds 90's but who knows? Obama? errr a lot of people say he's got ugly name and I agree but he likes war on iraq? then i' wouldn't vote for him. i wouldn't vote for any of them.
i think all people around the globe is concern about who's gonna be the next president, you americans should really think when voting because whoever you puts on that whitehouse is gonnna be the one that would make america either a loser country or the greatest country in the world where Mcdonalds and KFC where from.

McCain:
Positive: He has spent his life devoted to serving America--he can be trusted to always put America first. By putting America first, instead of personal interest, he may be able to bring the country together.
Negative: He is not extremely flexible in his positions. Some might consider this to him being principled, but it can also be seen as stubborness.
Clinton:
Positive: She is a very effective polititian. She would probably be able to accomplish many of her goals as president.
Negative: Her liberal policies would end up hurting the country in the long run. She is a very divisive figure and would divide the country even further.
Obama:
Positive: He is a very inspirational speaker. He is very passionate and offers a message of bold change for America.
Negative: He is untested as a polititian, and is somewhat mysterious and unknown. His voting record (one of the most liberal) contradicts his message of bringing people together.
- Capt ColdLv 71 decade ago
Obama:
Con: Has some people in his life that others don't identify with well.
Pro: Strong plans on how to give this country a 180 from the divisive, non-productive, wasteful and enemy creating 8 years we've just endured.
Hillary:
Con: At bit too eager, and has a husband with baggage.
Pro: Against Bush (and McCain) in most ways.
McCain:
Pro: Against torture. (At least before about a month ago).
Con: More of Bush policies.

Obama lacks experience but is a great motivator and most likely to bring parties together.
McCain is a war hero and deserves respect but he is as clueless as can be and is not what we need with our bad economy and a horrible situation in Iraq.
Hillary is well known to be corrupt and a vehement liar but Bill's not such a bad guy.
