Dear Readers:

If our choice is between Obama and McCain, Obama wins hands down….he is light-years above and beyond McCain for the Presidency.

Anyone who has the superb command of the English language that Obama does, who has the delivery skills of a Roman rhetorician and who is nearly inspirational in attitude and forthrightness, has my vote. He is a master at selecting ‘le mot juste’whatever the occasion.

McCain is a master too – a master of stating the obvious, in a dry, barely audible voice.

He invariably laughs at his own “jokes” and is devilishly clever at putting audiences to sleep. If you think Bush should have taken some brush-up English courses before entering the White House, you ain’t seen nothing yet.

I hate to say it, but McCain reminds me of Howdy Dowdy (and his wife gives me the creeps too. Ever seen a real live mannequin? Take a close look).

Obama’s Achilles heel appears to be his “inexperience” in world affairs. I don’t see how anyone with any international experience can possibly say that. I currently live overseas and I can tell you that he is currently the most popular American, bar none, among the denizens of the streets where I live.

McCain is a nice man. He is to be commended and admired for his military service and his ghastly experiences as a POW. But he is not what we need at the moment. He just isn’t.

Obama means business…..that’s my bottom line with him. McCain doesn’t quite seem to get it – it’s all somehow beyond him is the feeling I get.
