As always, all presidential candidates will need some smoothing of rough edges as they go about their business. I agree that Obama needs to admit that American generals have a lot more battle experience than him and that he needs to suck it up and accept their advice. In addition, his proposed 16 month troop withdrawal plan is something I do not accept at this point. Currently, I do not agree with a pullout whatsoever until it is demonstrated, and not just claimed, that the Iraqi security forces can handle things from now. So far, I am not impressed by their performance. However, Obama has a good plan for the overall betterment of our tattered and fleeting country. The United States used to be great. It used to be a great power...a power that was used to serve our world and defeat some of the greatest tyrants this world has ever seen. I love the country for that, but ever since the Vietnam War it has taken a turn for the worse and started using its power to impose its will and agenda on others. This has to change, and I believe Barack has the right idea, albeit with a few kinks that can be worked around easily. What do I have to say about McCain in this regard? Heh...the idiot recently blamed Obama for higher oil prices. That should just about sum up his intelligence.
