I Hate Candidates

Ever since Obama returned from abroad, all I've been hearing is how presumptuous he is. Apparently, he's acting like he's already president. I personally think it's extremely vain of him, but it's not that big of a deal. So what? It's better than McCain actually calling himself president.
I think most politicians are arrogant bastards, and the McCain campaign needs to come up with a better argument than Obama's 'presumptuousness.'

The problem I have with Obama is that he's kind of a liar. Obviously there's the whole public-financing extravaganza, but for me it's much more deep than that. At the beginning of the race, Obama claimed he wanted to change politics, but he's really just doing the same old crap at a younger age. And it would be nice if the man could deliver a straight answer for something... like giving driver's licenses to illegal immigrants or his plan for withdrawing troops from Iraq.

In case Obama wasn't aware, there is a difference between gracefully admitting you were wrong and childishly denying the truth. Example: the surge. By all accounts, the surge worked pretty well. I think Obama's being much too stubborn, insisting that the reduced violence in Iraq is due to political achievements and not the increase in troops. I agree that politics play an important role in decreasing the violence, but the surge also helped.

OK, I've given Obama enough crap. I mean, I almost sound Republican... we need to fix that. Here are my beefs with McCain:

He's boring and psychotic.

Seriously. He doesn't do anything that peaks my interest. The only think I liked about him was that he seemed nice... then I did research. Apparently, he has a bad rep for being hotheaded, which I think makes him kind of risky for the White House. That's right. I called McCain risky. For a man who's based almost his entire campaign on "Well, I'm not that great, but look at that Obama guy... he's a risk," that's seems like a strange thing to say. It is. I wouldn't say he's risky in the same way Obama is risky. But it's still there.

With McCain, there's no doubt that he's a liar. He blames Obama for high gas prices, and accuses his opponent of refusing to visit wounded troops in Germany because he wasn't allowed to bring reporters. FactCheck.org tells the real story:

"A new McCain ad says Obama 'made time to go to the gym, but canceled a visit with wounded troops. Seems the Pentagon wouldn't allow him to bring cameras.' McCain's facts are literally true, but his insinuation -- that the visit was canceled because of the press ban or the desire for gym time -- is false. In fact, Obama visited wounded troops earlier -- without cameras or press -- both in the U.S. and Iraq. And his gym workouts are a daily routine."

Almost every McCain ad seems to be attacking Obama... which emphasizes the fact that this race is Obama's, to win or to lose.

So who am I voting for?

Myself.

This is why I (not Obama or McCain) should be president.
