Obama, McCain agree on many once-divisive issues
I think this was a good article for man of the gung ho' Obama supporters who blindly follow him because he represents change. The same people who bash McCain with no backing for their attacks.
This article points out what I've been saying this entire election. That Obama and McCain agree on many many issues. I am still confused how people can label him a 3rd term Bush. McCain has so many liberal tendencies in him despite being a conservative. Which in my opinion I think is great. It gives him an opposing side in which he can play devils advocate and I feel that could help him make some very hard, but great choices for this country.
Obama has shown conservatism at times, but overall he just doesn't have the leadership skills needed or the experience. It takes more than being able to give impressive speeches to lead a nation. I think that if Obama continues to mature the way he does and starts to steer a little closer to the middle that he would be a great candidate in about 12-16 years once he get's more experience in office under his belt.
Either way, the article makes it pretty obvious. Both candidates have shown they are not that different on their stances. You can even find similarities in issues they differ on such as Taxes and Medical programs.
McCain isn't my ideal candidate but I feel he's probably the closest thing to what this country needs right now.
Either president is headed into hard times. It will be 4 years to remember; that I'm sure of.daihashi Reviewed by daihashi on .

"Both are very solid," said Rick, president of the Coalition for the Advancement of Medical Research. "We are definitely looking forward with optimism to a change in policy in 2009." John Isaacs, an arms control advocate, feels the same way, because both candidates have made Rating: 5
