The United Auto Workers union (UAW) has released this ad. It is a 30 second spot and entitled “worried.” The ad concludes noting that “we can’t afford John McCain.” I don’t disagree but the problem is that we can’t afford Barack Obama either. And given that it would come down to which is the lessor of of two evils and that’s not something I do. The lessor of two evils is still evil. I didn’t vote in 2004. I intend to abstain this time around.
It’s hard to reward the GOP with the Presidency again given the disaster of the last eight years. I understand McCain’s maverick qualities and appreciate his world view. It’s alot closer to mine than Obama’s recipe for disaster. I tend to look at US politics more through my own interests and that’s clearly the international front and I certainly understand that most of you focus on the domestic front. This blog welcomes all opinions and views within the parameters of civil and frank discussion. By The Fault remains an anti-Obama blog, perhaps Obama-skeptic is a better description, and it’s likely that an Obama Presidency will give us much to fret over. I have low expectations, perhaps we’ll be surprised but I doubt it. I see a coming storm that I am not sure Obama will be capable of handling. It would likely overwhelm most men, men in this case being the operative word. Experience does matter. Americans might learn that some day. But I am not too optimistic on that front either.
Update: Make that two new ads from the United Auto Workers union. This ad is also a 30 second spot. This ad focuses on McCain’s healthcare proposals. In the end, this is the issue that prevents me from supporting Senator McCain though Senator Obama’s proposals also fall far short of what’s needed. Woefully inadequate to be frank.
