If Obama or McCain Suffer from Deadly Diarrhea

And I mean literally deadly diarrhea…

… then on one hand, we could end up with an old dude who’s heavily experienced, and one the other hand, we could end up with a hardly experienced woman from Alaska.

Given the ages of Obama and McCain, there’s a higher probability we could end up with the Alaskan inexperienced female as President of the USA.

Sweet right? :)

But hey, there’s more.

Today’s highlights are none other than these annoyingly amusing statements made by Obama and Palin about the war in Iraq.

Okay, so let’s get started with Obama:

LANCASTER, Pa. - Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama said Thursday that the escalation of U.S. troops in Iraq, which he had opposed, has succeeded in reducing violence “beyond our wildest dreams.”

But Iraq still has failed to achieve the political reconciliation and self-sufficiency that is required, he said, and he vowed to withdraw American troops and end the war.

Awww, so he admits the Surge succeeded but nonetheless still wants to withdraw asap and squander all the significant progress that has been made in the last few months?

Wonderful!

I prefer McCain’s position and I’m glad the Elephants finally stopped being stubborn and started talking to Iran… but, I admit I do get ticked off when I read things like today’s second highlight, a super comforting comment by Palin:

ANCHORAGE, Alaska - Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin told ministry students at her former church that the United States sent troops to fight in the Iraq war on a “task that is from God.”

… “Our national leaders are sending them out on a task that is from God,” she said. “That’s what we have to make sure that we’re praying for, that there is a plan and that plan is God’s plan.”

Thank you dear. That’s just the sort of thing we need: more religion fused with politics.

    “religion fused with politics” If we could only separate the two, what a wonderful world it would be.

    OK, so you _believe_ that Jesus-died-for-our-sins/Mohammad-is-the-last-prophet etc. ? Seriously, you can’t run a country on that…. Please, ye who believe (in whatever) you don’t build roads/hospitals/schools on scripture but on money that people agree to spend.

    Sorry if I don’t make sense. I should be getting my beauty sleep by now.

    Yes you are sarcastic but I really think that both Obama and McCain will need a nice experience in Africa.
    Only two weeks, completely alone in West, Central or East Africa.
    I also would like Mr Bill Clinton to spend two weeks in Somalia (do you remember?)…
    I believe that the world could be a better place after that.
