It appears the United States is about to choose the most inexperienced, untried and unknown candidate, ever to have run for the office. This, at a time of international uncertainty, risk and even unprecedented economic instability. Can Barack Obama handle it?Here is a simple example: Take the banking and mortgage problems currently plaguing the country. From what I've gathered from some very credible sources, Barack has no idea what to do or what it is all about. He has called every "economic" expert for advice on what to say. And that includes Bill Clinton.
And if Barack is elected, he will bring in a bunch of newbies to the White House with him. His advisers may be great marketing and public relations folks, but what happens when they have to make real decisions about real issues - not just someone's image? Talk is cheap, and you can bet that the pariahs in the world will be testing Barack Obama immediate and will, undoubtedly, to take advantage of him.
Who would you feel more comfortable with if Iran and North Korea both started making waves? Barack Obama or John McCain? This really is a big issue. Yes, it is true that the country is having problems and it needs help, but what happens if we are weak on the international front?
Is there reason to be concerned about this? Without a shadow of a doubt. If McCain were elected, he has the experience and known how, to keep the axis-of-evil at bay. As a true American war hero, he can handle these situations.
The minute Barack Obama walks into the White House, the world will laugh and take advantage of him from the start. Countries will be licking their chops.
I mean really, what experience does Barack Obama have? He spent 4 years as a Senator, with two of them running as a presidential candidate. And what kind of state is Indiana? It is a blue-collar, manufacturing state in the Rust Belt, hardly one that will help him with international affairs.
Americans are a lazy, whining, and "what's in it for me" kind of people. We look at the short term and seek immediate gratification. The solutions to the economic problems will not be solved by a tax break of $1,000. We need a long term solution. Our national security is more important.
There is no doubt that electing Barack Obama will lower the opinion of the U.S. on the world stage. And it is very possible that the United States will sink on the international trade scene as well.
Anyway, Barack Obama seems like a good man, an honest man and one that is sincere in his beliefs. I just worry that other nations will run all over him - like they did to Jimmy Carter (those were terrible days)!
Well, maybe there is hope. Imagine that Barack Obama were to extend an olive branch to John McCain, to serve as his adviser? Could you image the power of these two great men? We could then solve our problems and show the world, that dispute our differences, America can't be divided!
