fred,

That IS a real twist, i.e. trusting the Frenchman over the American… but, I’m in complete agreement with you.

I’m aware of Obama’s intent regarding the missile defense program, which I rank in importance right up there with drilling for our own oil and stopping illegal immigration. As much as McCain rubs me the wrong way with his aisle-crossing, he’s got one helluva sacrificial personal story, and on the issues I just listed, he’s 2 for 3 (missile defense and drilling). Too bad that, if he gets elected, we may wind up speaking Spanish under missile free skies while filling up our cars to the tune of a buck a gallon.

Obama is unqualified for the job of POTUS for soooo many reasons, but for me, his willingness to kill missile defense is a deal-breaker all by itself. Add to that his opposition to drilling… no way can I vote for the guy.

Cheers,
Triton
