For all his tough talk, George Bush is no kind of man at all. A man of true character would admit his mistake and take action to do something about it. It would take a real man to say that we underestimated how hard Iraq would be. It would take a real man to admit his economic policies are failures, and then show real leadership in addressing the real problems affecting Americans. A real man would say we've waited too long to believe what scientists were saying about climate change, and immediate and serious action is required. (By the way, when I use the term "man," that's not a great word. I believe strongly that a woman has the ability, even more so, to have this quality I'm trying to describe.)
Now we get McCain who is not offering us very much at all. If I'm hearing him right, our problems in Iraq and with the economy aren't really that bad, and everything will be great with the minor variations that he offers from the Bush way.
Bush is the President and he's just given up. Does anyone else look at him and see him thinking, "I can't wait to get outta here!" McCain has the nerve to say Obama is naive and doesn't understand the complexities of what we face. Is he kidding?!?!?! Is it any surprise that the world is opening its arms to Obama? He gets criticized for being popular in Europe like that's nothing. I don't know how many times he has to prove himself as a true leader, but I'm confident he'll pass any "test" thrown at him.
