The whole world is looking to USA right now, I am currently in Spain and the subject of the day, of the month I think, is OBAMA vs. MCCAIN. I am happy to live in democracy, with the good and not to good things, is by far the best option that we have and that´s why people should vote. Always. It´s our right and obligation as citizens. This system was created by magnificent people, we must to defend it and do what we have to do: our votes speaks for us, let´s shout! Hope that tomorrow morning when I wake up I can see the beggining of the CHANGE. Kisses This is crazyness.

I just VOTED for Obama/Biden. And you know what? you don't scare us. Neither does this crap: "and unfortunately it has been PROVEN over and over that a show of force is in many cases the ONLY LINE OF ACTIVE DEFENSE WE HAVE. Stop trying to scare people with your dogma & rhetoric. Beyond that, have a lovely day! :-) @Cornelius– hey, guess what? I just VOTED for Obama/Biden. And you know what? you don’t scare us.

Soyo Tue, 04 Nov 2008 18:14:11 +0000 http://the-coveted.com/blog/?p=3223#comment-9342 No experience. Limited understanding of the system. That's what scares me about Obama. Regulation of healthcare sounds good on the surface, but as the prices come down, so does the quality of care. Private practices will be driven out, and choice will become limited. Major procedures will cost more, and what do you really think will happen when the drug companies are throttled across the board? Since drug companies run 1/4 of our country (it's true like it or not) they will reclaim their losses elsewhere. The plan has the right spirit behind it, but wrong implementation. To much, too fast. Consider his plan to immediately throttle emmissions on energy companies - a noble endeavor, but poorly implemented plan that will immediately double electric & heating costs for many americans, while further devastating energy stocks. So much for the tax savings being so highly touted, especially in the north where people can expect to pay hundreds more a month in winter to maintain their home. Local property taxes will rise as well under this single directive. The list goes on and on. There is no magic wand people. If there was, government would be a non-issue. I don't like McCain much either, but he does know the realities of government, and his plans clearly show it. As for foreign policy, there are some great books you should read regarding the religions and ideologies of many third world countries, especially those actively involved in and condoning terrorism. In many cases, a few poorly chosen words can do far more damage than a show of force. It sounds good to promote discussion, but it's not as effective when the top priority of a society is to simply KILL YOU. It takes only a single moment to inflict terrorism - and unfortunately it has been PROVEN over and over that a show of force is in many cases the ONLY LINE OF ACTIVE DEFENSE WE HAVE. Should it diminish in any way, I guarantee innocent American lives will be lost IN MASS. I do think Obama is a good man, and I do think he has our best interest in mind. But this is the wrong time for someone to be learning on the job, when a single mistake can have such a devastating effect internationally, and a domestic policy that doesn't take into account it's full ramifications can so easily solve one problem but inadvertently create 3 larger ones in it's wake. Now that's scary. No experience. Limited understanding of the system. That’s what scares me about Obama.
