I fail to understand how being visionary and wanting a better society translates into a political agenda when John McCain obviously has no clear policies or ideologies on terrorism, international relations, economic activity, the environment, making the USA a more equitable society, providing health and education to the millions of poor in the USA. The only thing obvious to me about John McCain is that he would simply re-cycle all GW Bush’s advisors and follow their instructions for another 4-8 years.

I am not totally sure that Mr. Obama is any more adept in these areas but here is a man who, I think, realises that the last 8 years for the USA have been a disaster and that to pursue the same policies and actions will cost the people of the USA dearly, and make his country even more mistrusted around the world.

My main concern is that I think many US citizens simply do not care about that - they simply want fast food cars and petrol to be cheap and a job for them when they feel like working……….if so, its going to get a lot harder for them.
