Thread Name: BS: FLA called for McCain and Clinton
Subject: RE: BS: FLA called for McCain and Clinton
I don't think Obama can win, and it isn't because of his race. It is because of his age, his lack of a track record anywhere, and because of his chameleon-like stand on issues. The guy is just plain slippery.
He hasn't demonstrated leadership one iota. He has demonstrated charisma, and an astounding ability to vacuum up money. This will make a good president because...?
Pretty soon, people are going to wake up from the Obama Kumbayah Kool Aid binge, realize with a bad hangover that they've just nominated yet another loser Democrat. They will all say it was because of his race, but it won't be. It will be because people who actually believe their votes should be cast for someone who might just know how to lead the country, instead of being really good at retail campaigning, won't vote for him. Sure for a lot of people it will be race, just like for a lot of people it would be Clinton's gender, and for others it will be McCain's age.
But that leaves us with Mitt Romney.
Don't tell anybody, but the skill sets for running for president and actually being the president aren't the same. Just look to the current White House, if you are having trouble figuring that out.
