Who’s more Presidential, McCain or Obama?

If you look at how they run their campaigns it should give you some insights into the answer.  The answer is clearly Obama.  While McCain appears to be desperate and honestly, I feel sorry for him.  He’s better than what he is showing us now.  The handling has not gone well, he should have stayed the course, he should have stayed himself.

It appears that McCain has finally realized that his attacks on Obama were not working and were actually hurting him.  Trying to tie Obama to terrorist is absurd.  Yesterday, McCain began to correct people in the town hall style he holds.  One lady stood up and said she was afraid of him because he was an Arab.  McCain didn’t correct her on that but said Obama was a good man that he happened to have  a lot of disagreement with.  And he stopped bringing up the issue at all.

The next day, his campaign is running Anti-Obama ads on TV attempting to connect  him to Ayers again.  Really stretching the truth about other issues while at it.  To me they were lies!  I’ll go more into that at a later time.

They served on a board together.  Do you know the backgrounds of everyone you work with?  Does their affiliations reflect on you? If they are a terrorist are you too a terrorist?  If you go to their homes for a dinner party and meet influential people, does that reflect on you?  Of course not, that is absurd.

It appears McCain’s campaign is running ads that McCain would not himself approve.  When McCain announced he was suspending his campaign a couple of weeks ago, his running mate, Sarah Palin was not aware of it.  She found out when the press questioned her on it.  That shows a serious lack of organizational skills.

I’ve been saying this for months, that McCain is being handled and there is a long history of it in republican presidential politics.  Think about the debates when Roland Regan did so poorly.  The handlers were saying the next day we will let Regan be Regan.  And it was obvious George W. Bush was being handled through the first six years  Even worse Bush’s presidential powers had been largely usurped by Dick Cheney.
