This year's presidential election has been a hot topic among U.S. citizens. Especially, since the rise of economical, environmental, financial, as well as war issues, many people have gained intrest as to who are new leader should be. Both candidates, Senator Barack Obama and Senator John McCain, have approached these situations in a different manner; however, many people have started to question, is McCain just another Bush?
I think that John McCain has a couple of well thought out ideas but, overall i have the feeling that most of his decisions are made too hastly depending on what's happening now and that he hasn't taken in full consideration of what lies ahead and what future consequenes could occur. In addition, because McCain has aggreed with Bush's ideas and his strategies 90% of the time (CNN Political Ticker), i think that his desicions are based on or revolve around Bush's ideas and strategies.
Today, Obama and McCain came face to face in a presidetial debate. And one of the topics they touched upon was how they were going to deal with the war in Iraq. Senator McCain had kept stressing on the idea that U.S. troops should come home in vicorty and in honor. Also, he kept mentioning how U.S. should be victorious and win the war. But he hadn't really talked about how this war costed many depts and many lives. In that sense, i think McCain is a lot like Bush because they both seem to have the idea that U.S. is the leader and should thereofre act more superior over other countries and that they have to show that the U.S. is more powerful. And it is because of that thought, that i think made them agree on entering this war back in 2002. I just think that if McCain is elected, then it'll be the same as Bush getting another 4 years in office.
