I really don't think Obama's getting my vote for the simple fact I can't help but believing he's gonna win the election and go "Now what?" He doesn't have a good track record in my opinion and every time someone points out a flaw or mistake of his he has some bullshit ass excuse. How about owning up to your downfalls like a man and stop trying to be Mr. Popularity.
What I feel we need in our country right now is a man's man. Someone who will do what they think is right and suffer the consequences or reap the rewards, but offer no excuses, just apologies if he's wrong. I'm saddened to say that Hilary Clinton was more of a "man's man" than Obama is. When she got caught in a lie about being under sniper fire or whatever all she said was, "You know what, I must have been mistaken. I'm sorry for misinforming you and I hope this doesn't affect you feelings about me."
Once again, I feel McCain is the best choice right now until Obama proves me wrong. He just seems to take the common sense approach to situations and issues instead of the popular idea. Take for instance this new GI Bill. The democrats in congress already passed a bill to increase the GI Bill to cover 100% of your highest in state public university for 4 years. They are saying that the Soldiers are entitled to it for serving their hearts out in our war against idiocy. I agree with this whole heartedly. However, the bill that was passed through congress says that all Soldiers enlisting for at least 3 years and serve it out are entitled to the full GI Bill. So basically, you can enlist for 3 years, sit behind a desk and collect a check while others are serving their 4th and sometimes 5th deployment in the 8 or 9 years they were in, and you both get this GI Bill that is being compared to the one given to World War II vets. Fuck that. I've been in for almost 9 years now and am going on my first deployment. Do I feel I deserve this, hell no. I'd almost be ashamed to take it. Almost....lol.
John McCain proposed a similar bill that highlights the amount of deployed time as the key in the generosity of the benefit. Wow, what a fair way to do it. Are the Democrats even considering this, no. They have the amount of votes already to overturn a presidential veto, so they could care less. They are doing the popular thing which they say will increase recruitment, but what they don't realize is that it's going to kill retention. People all across the army are going to get out if they can get their college completely paid for. Ohh, did I mention they're even going to give a housing stipend? Yeah....fuckin great. Thank the Democrats when we're all speaking a different language in 10 years cause we didn't have a big enough army to withstand the attack from DirkaDirkastan
