Like I said, you weren't ever voting for him, IMO, of course.
Probably not but I did consider it. I'm pretty cynical about politicians on both sides of the aisle. If Obama would agree to eliminate all pork barrel spending and only use tax increases to balance the budget I'd take a look at voting for him. I would also find it fascinating to see if he could use his obvious communication talents to deal with the Irans of the world.
As for the war I'm not sure one American life is worth a drop of Middle East oil but I am interested to see how the Middle East looks ten years from now. Personally I would rather have seen all the money we spent on the war be used to increase our own domestic oil supply, build nuclear power plants and figure out realistic alternative oil sources.
Maybe the silver lining of the war will be that we escalated by decades our energy independence.
All that being said I won't be crushed if Obama is elected. I think he might accomplish some good things.
I think both candidates are good people.
