		<description>He's 72. Not exactly in his prime years, but not exactly collecting dust either. And besides, we've had good luck with 70+ presidents. Remember Reagan?</description>

		<description>First sentence: "Aren’t we all tired of the same old politicians?"

I agree. I mean, how old is John McCain, again? And how old is his patrician family?</description>

		<description>1. Regarding Obama skipping Landstuhl: Why couldn't Obama just go alone, without his campaign or senate staff? Why couldn't he visit our troops with other elected officials? This further diminishes his already-pitiful American values and national security qualifications. I understand he was on a whirlwind tour, but to go to the gym instead of visiting the troops?!?

2. I'd be the first to criticize McCain if he were to split away from his original position of conditions-based-withdrawal. Trust me, I'm not worried.

3. Iraqis have never been in favor of us staying. Fortunately for them, the government they elected has overruled them - it NEEDS the Army &#38; Marines. The government cannot, despite what many appeasement apologists may think, contain Iranian Shia militias, foreign Al Qaeda militants, and homegrown thugs and criminals all at the same time and without significant military assistance. Our presence is bringing security dividends, soon it will bring more.

4. Petraeus has done an excellent job. How has the right politically exploited him? On the left, I remember the September 2007 "Betray Us" ad, which was heinous as it was false. Sure McCain has taken credit for some of Petraeus' accomplishments, which he should, since he advocated for more troops, new generals, and a new counterinsurgency strategy since before Obama was even elected.</description>

		<description>Hahaha oh Obama. What a riot, and good article. I DO NOT want my country being run by a twit like him. I DO NOT want my liberties in the hands of someone who cannot take a firm stance on important issues. And I DO NOT need a messiah as the president. 

At any rate, this election has been a wee bit of a circus act. I am curious to see where the fate of my county lies.

		<description>Oh look, what a surprise, Obama does another flip flop on off-shore oil drilling. He now says he actually would be in favor of drilling if it was part of a "comprehensive energy policy." Of course this is what Republicans have been saying for months, but maybe people will listen now that the messiah is saying the same thing.

		<description>Horrible post Josh!

I really love this election! Both McCain or Obama speak for the people. Oh sure they both say they don't, but both of them are about honor and humility. Look at the legislation and the types of things they’ve both supported.

Whichever one wins, it will probably be for two term anyhow…hopefully.

Have you heard some of the things that Obama has been saying at his speech presentations? He’s calling himself the ‘annointed one’ and saying how the entire world is happy that he’s running. Great stuff.</description>
