Compare and Contrast

Yesterday I was watching "Meet the Press" and a couple of other news programs and they were mentioning the "Generational Gap" of the candidates running for office. So I thought it would be a good idea to compare the candidates.

Obama and McCain:

Obama is 47 and McCain is 71 currently. BHO is a Democrat and JSM is a Republican. Traditionally Democrats are tax and spend types whereas Republicans are cutters of the tax bill and fiscally conservative. This case is proven in the numerous news spots and debates.

BHO is an anti-Iraq war critic who wants to talk to our enemies without pre-conditions. JSM is the polar opposite.

Guess who is for gay marriage and who isn't.

How about Healthcare coverage? BHO wants universal coverage and that will cost us billions in taxes alone.

Oil, you ask? JSM is a proponent of the drill here and get away from the dependcy of the Arabs. OBH opposes drilling here hoping that the high gas prices forces the USA to find alternatives. Both however do agree on finding alternatives

Supreme Court? JSM wants for conservative judges. BHO wants the direct opposite running the law. Might end up being like the 9th Circuit running amok on a national level if that happens.

I could go on and probably should, but won't. I do however must admit that Obama is correct on one more item other than Social Security. The GI bill. That's right. He wants to help those veterans with a better program. Even though I won't be benefitted from it, it's something I do support.

More later, but I hope all is well with everone and enjoy what summer is left. Especially with gas prices going up. Do your best to save for the future.
