Thread Name: BS: Will Obama Win???
Subject: RE: BS: Will Obama Win???
I have no idea what line of reasoning BB uses on his probability of the WWIII scenario link to Obama...he had the same worries regarding Hillary, as I recall, and his line of reasoning there was that she would be much more likely to trigger such a war because of her psychological need to demonstrate to people that she's "tough" even though she is a woman... ;-)

I wonder what would be the supposed triggering factor that BB sees in Obama's case?

Anyway, it proves, as always, that the partisan mind sees whatever it believes in.

In McCain, I see a man who believes in confrontation and conflict and war. In Obama, I see a man who believes in negotiation, diplomacy, finding common ground, and maintaining one's cool when under pressure.

I know who I'd risk in the presidency, and it ain't McCain. He's still trying to win the war in Vietnam, and he sees life strictly in terms of fighting "evil enemies" as far as I can see. That makes him, in effect, a potentially quite evil man....very comparable in his psychology to the worst fanatics among the Islamic jihadists. Such people start wars, and they do it with absolute faith in their own rightness and great enthusiasm. They lead their own people to utter disaster.
