McCain wants to freeze ordinary Americans
This point is very important. Ordinary people are not pleased that they have to hand over their hard earned money to Wall Street and now John McCain wants to freeze them.

That means the McCain will freeze public services, health services, education, transport, agriculture, the environment etc the list would be very long and it is not fair!

Nobody seems to be worried about us apart from Obama!

11. McCain clearly does not like ordinary Americans.
going on shows like Rachel Ray or the View, he is not genuine. Has 7 houses and 13 cars does anyone think this guy cares about Americans. I don't.

14. I think Obama makes a good point about his 10 year plan to get us off oil
and to eventually develop cheaper domestic sources of energy such a wind, solar, and biomass. McCain's obssession with drilling our way out of the mess and relying on nuclear power will take a long, long time. I think either McCain or Obama is going to find it hard coming up with funding for a lot of domestic problems because of the financial mess we're in. But McCain doesn't offer any hope of getting out of that mess and wants to continue the same failed trickle down policies whereas Obama gives me some hope that he can find a way. Either way, it's going to be a long, hard haul for the American people.
