Others can be the judge of that. Yes, same age. As I have noted...  


*****Age has little to do with anything once it has been verified that the 
body and mind are sound.  In his seventies, my grandfather married a new 
woman, and slept in the same bed with her until she died, last year.  In his 
seventies he climed, with my father and brothers, onto the roof of  my 
parent's river house built on 16 foot high piers, with a hammer in his hand.

 . Obama would choose advisors of more  
balanced minds and would weigh their advice more wisely, I think.


***** His advisors include past & present partners at Goldman Sachs, that 
great group of flying monkeys who've funded the banruptcy of this country and 
culture.  No different than Bush in that respect.  Has also made the 
obligatory bow to AIPAC, the higher level of neocon militarism.

Agreed. 

******* We will wage war with Iran after the election, whether it is Obama or 
McCain. Israel and AIPAC have made this known, Obama has simply asked AIPAC 
to plead with Israel on his behalf, to wait until after Nov. 4

The maverick image has been carefully cultivated. His habit and  
demeanor has often been characterized as impulsive, reckless,  
tempestuous, hot tempered. We need someone who is a cool thinker.


******We need someone who will stand up to the thieves and manipulators of 
our econony and the destroyers of our culture.  Obama has already become 
their latest girlfriend.

Even in the classic good old boys club, the DC Whorehouse, many  
Republicans are turning away from him. 


***** McCain as been called RHINO (Republican in name only ) for years, the 
Democrats tried to convince him to run as VP on their ticket just 4 years ago

Should either of us choose to take the time we could put together a  
long list of Republicans who have either expressed admiration for  
Obama or who have said they will vote for him.

****** Many of the Socialistic, controlled economy leaning Repulicans do 
favor Obama. 


*****Obama will win, and the only difference between him and McCain will be 
some social agendae and a faster move into greater Socialism.  Neither 
candidate will effect the changes that we need.
