Continental friends, who should win the US elections?

Unread postby lorenzo » Fri 03 Oct 2008, 10:01:23

Dear friends from continental Europe, who do you think would make for the best U.S. president?

Which one of the two candidates will be best to solve the energy and climate crisis?

Who would bring the American economy back on track in the most efficient way?

Who can restore America's credibility in the world?


Or are you perhaps one of those who supports McBush, because he would wreck the USA for good and thus speed up its unavoidable downfall?

I'm a world citizen that has born to europe and live here.
I always vote for person that are anti-mlitary. I know people from every continent and can't support militaries.

Wars are chess games of leaders and consume so much money that all the problems that are said to be "causes" of wars could be solved with fraction of money used to them.

People I know are always against wars - in every country.
so could I support weapons of mass destruction with taxes I pay?
Is there a candidate in the election that has promisedto cut U.S. military budget alotsss? I dunno but that person I would vote.

No bias there in your question there Lorenzo? How about Nobama vs McBush?

Lorenzo,

Hu Jintao was not an option for President of the US?

I vote for Obama, he's the better looking and more charismatic puppet.

Since McCain and Obama stand for business as usual, no radical changes in the American Way of Life that is. Perhaps some independant candidate? No idea what independants are running but i'm guessing that's where we need to look for real change like Obama, 'Caine, Sarah and Joe are preaching.

But if i had to choose from the pre-approved candidates; Obama. Because that would just piss off the racists in the US. Also because Sarah Palin needs to be kept as far away from the presidency as possible.

Who will win?
I bet McCain, since it was 3:1 in June I made a small bet.

Who should win?
Not a republicrat.

Will be there any change?
New look of old policies.
Peak oil is only an indication and a premise of limits to growth on a finite planet.
