Your logic is hilarious and more than a little xenophobic. |
That's taking it a little further than I meant it, it was just a very easy example. My point is that the Axis Powers liked Chamberlain because he was hesitant to use force and he was easy to push around. I think Putin, Ahmadinijad, Hugo Chavez or anyone else would prefer Obama because they could get away with just about anything and he'd be more than willing to run to the negotiating table and he probably would never use force. Obama doesn't have the same kind of "My country is best" attitude that McCain does, which is something I like about McCain. Obama would prefer that the US not be the superpower that it has been and would probably end up joining the US to the EU, whereas McCain wouldn't do something like that. That's my point.
I've explained it well enough and I've had enough discussions with you to know that if you want to take it further, you're probably just being bellicose.
I do have a question though, which is WHY exactly do you want Obama to be president? What is it exactly that you think he'll do and why do you think he's in any way shape or form qualified, or what in his record is attractive? I mean, is it just the fact that he isn't Bush that makes you like him? In all due respect, he's really done very little except run for office his entire career. He seems like a nice enough guy, I just don't think he's quite ready. Give him another 4-8 years in the senate and he may be a very good president then, he just seems basically ignorant of some very important issues like military strategy, political history and economics. I just don't know what his appeal is to Europe. Maybe he can run for president over there. LOL!
