Surely a president, if it's anything like the UK, has a whole team of politicians to help him write new policies. He may say, " I want to lower taxes and help the poor!", but it is his team of highly skilled politicians, lawyers etc who make the policy, i mean ok he has his input but it's not like Obama or McCain just sit down and write a new policy and bam it's law. What i mean is surely no matter who wins when they make a dumb policy and their is public outrage they will have to change the policy because they don't want to lose the next election, just like in England Gordon Brown reversed the 10p tax rate because all the working class people were pissed off and he fears losing their vote. Of course then he was called weak for doing that , but that kind of public and media stupidity is for another day. Anyway people in his party can vote against his policies, which in the UK they often do debate them for quite a while, maybe in America policies pass right through without ridicule, i don't know.
Also the reason i don't want to see McCain is charge is because to me it seems he is an old war veteran who frankly dislikes the East in general. Wasn't he captured in a war he was involved in? He has sang " bomb bomb bomb, bomb bomb Iran", Obama may have little experience but i haven't seen him do that. Obama won't win because he is black, i still think in the end more Americans will vote for the white guy, even if it ends up being close i think McCain will win. The only reason he wouldn't is because people want a Democrat not a Republican because Bush sucked so much to them, so they'll vote Democrat not necessarily vote Obama himself.
I just want a president that's not going to point at a random location in the middle East and say " OMG THEY HAVE WMD's!!!! Bomb them to shit!.....and...secure that OIL!!! YEEEEHA!!". To me Obama is less likely to do this. I know people say he seems soft on terrorism, but then again if those terrorists are not lying in their extremist speeches, they often say they will attack until America leaves their lands alone. Maybe if he America slowly withdraws troops and doesn't invade elsewhere their will be peace for a few years( I'm not going to be overly optimistic and say generations because they'll start fighting again. The only way to prevent it is to wipe out all radical Muslims, Christians, Jews, Sikhs etc, however that counts as Genocide..)
