EExperience is not the most important asset for a candidate,rather focus on intelligence ecause experiene without understanding the complexity of modern society and international affairs can lead to chaos and tragedy .The past experiences of the Iraq disaster should make that abundendly clear :lies;lousy preparation,propaganda,simplification of the issues and overconfidence i!n your military power to solve complex issues
leave the american taxpayer with a deep financial gap,to be filled by the repulicans by cutting on wellfare,health care and education .That kind of solutions is a disgrace for any modern society .
It will take an intelligent team,more concerned with the good fortune of the american populaion in general to address problems like climate change which have been left to fester during Bush .The days when some people used to say 'what is good for general motors is good for america ' are over,i will tke careful planning and a broad vision from the political decision makers ,and of course gurs,to solve this issue .General motors is closing plants which were producing gas guzzling SUV,too little too late,it has been known for more than a decade that the price of oil would o through the ceiling .But corporate america only obsessed with short term gains as done nothing but stepping on the brakes on this issue .Exxon being the leading culprit in this state of denial .The american pople would do well to listen to it's own scientific community and iclude them in the decision taking process .Time is runnin gout fast .I'd rather trust the intellgence of a candidate having voted against the lies of Bush and Cheney than a candidate still living in a state of denial and stating to stay on the course of Bush.

You start your rant with how experience is not as important as intelligence.

Then I stop counting when you have 11mis-spelled words in 1 paragraph.

Please go to school and learn how to spell, or buy yourself a spell check program--your writing is terrible.

Almost as bad as your ideas.

SP has finally learned how to spell Barack! He will need it in the coming years - on to the White House, Barack!

and I never use spell check! How does it feel, by the way, to have Bill Gates do your spelling for you?

You need to work on your spiel, Tonny.

John McCain just coaxed SEVEN TRILLION environmental spending bill out of committee and onto the floor of the US Senate, Tonny. Who is the bigger green, him or Obama?

The only real difference between Senator McCain and Senator Obama is that Senator McCain favors fighting militant Muslims and Senator Obama wants to appease them. They are in nearly 100% agreement on every other issue that matters to you, Tonny.

So if you are going to criticize John McCain for something, Tonny, criticize him for his proposed foreign policies. He is on YOUR side when it comes to everything else. More importantly, Senator McCain will be a good deal more effecive in implementing the changes you are always ragging on American about than Senator Obama could be. Senator Obama, being a Democrat, would inspire fierce opposition on the part of Republicans and would find himself obliged to modify his stances.

Senator McCain, on the other hand, will find himself obliged to give the Democrats everything they want in the way of domestic US policy in order for him to carry on his rather aggressive foreign policy ideas. Greenest thing you've ever seen in the US is Senator John McCain.

Of course, you will have to choose between the good of the planet and the good of Islam. Never let it be said that Allah, His is the Glory, wants for a sense of humor.
