BTW, as much as I criticize Obama here, I still think he'll end up being a good President. He has the ability to inspire, he has the brains, and his instincts are not quite as liberal as his platform suggests.

I just feel that the reality of Obama is not nearly as awesome as is portrayed by his supporters, who seem to view him as a Messiah of sorts. He isn't even the guy his campaign portrays him as.

What he is, is a very bright young liberal Senator who could blossom into one of our better Presidents. He's no more a unifier or change agent than any other President we've had recently. He's never walked that walk, despite having ample opportunities to do so, all of which he declined and decided to just go along to get along.

Unlike the cynics here, I believe that we are very lucky to have two fine men like McCain and Obama running for President. I just feel that McCain is the superior of the two, most notably because he's actually done many of the things Obama only talks about doing(being bipartisan, trying to reform politics).
