Is Sen. McCain Ready to lead?

What MSM is not asking is "Is Sen. McCain ready to lead?". I guess this is a fair question to ask, when right, left and center all are pounding on Sen. Obama with this question, they say he is naive, inexperienced and out of touch. As Bill Clinton mentioned few days back, no one is ready to be President (that might be his honest answer to the question) but in a way he is right. Same doubts were raised against Abraham Lincoln and John F Kennedy, and they turned out to be one of the best president of United states.

Sen. Obama had the judgement to call IRAQ war the wrong and dumb war. He was right. Last week Mr. Ron Suskind's book "The Way of the World: A Story of Truth and Hope in an Age of Extremism." revealed the forgery by the white house and their motive behind Iraq war was not WMD. Experience is needed and as Sen. Obama says VP chenny and Rumsfield are the most experience people in current administration but unfortunately they had wrong kind of experience. I would go with a little right kind of experience against the Veterans with wrong kind of experience. In my opinion Sen. Obama has the courage and right judgment when it matters, whether its a 3 am call or current Geogia/Russia conflict. When Sen. Obama said he will attack Pakistan if we have actionable intelligence and Pakistan government is not willing to act, everybody declared him to be naive and he should not be making these kind of statement while running for president, I thought the rest were trying to make political points. In contrary the current administration did the same and still doing the same (attacking targets in Pakistan) sometimes without even letting Pakistani government know about the future attack, now thats UNILATERAL approach by Bush administration which will be the McCain administration approach as well.

Is he ready to lead?

Iraq/Iran/Pakistan and Foreign Policy
When he has been making so many gaffes, some says he is a maverick, he rally's against his party on the issues that are vitals for America and he sees Americans first than Republicans. Over the past few months (after clinching party nomination) he has been putting Republicans first than Americans or America. Thats the new McCain we are seeing now, he promised not to run dirty campaign and now he is becoming the attack machine because his Republican friends and adviser like Rick Davis (DHL deal breaker) and Karl Rove are suggesting him to be aggressive (aggressive is a strong word and I would rather love Sen. McCain use these in foreign policy, climate change, ecomony ..).
1. He does not know sunni, Shi'ite and Al-Queda (Sen. Liberman had to remind him what is what).
2. He gets confused in Iraq/Pakistan boreder, Iran is in between those two unless McCain has already won the war against Iran and merged it with Iraq (then it makes sense).
3. He made new history by mistaking surge timetable.
4. Iraq has $80 billions in surplus and Sen. McCain still wants to send our tax dollars to IRAQ why? Halliburton? We are in deficit and he wants to send billions of dollar yes with a B to Iraq for re-construction, how about political re-conciliation first and have them get around with their own money.
4. He is against specific timetable for troops withdrawal but he says TIME HORIZON is good, oh yeah 100 years or may be more is what you are thinking.



ECONOMY/ENERGY

We have tons of youtube video where Sen. McCain himself said he does not know much about economy. I dont think we need to say anything more on this, simply he does not know anything besides criticizing Sen. Obama's economic plans, but he never comes up with detailed plan of his. His one of the best and dearest adviser said we are in mental recession and Sen. McCain echoed the same while he suggested on off shore drilling "we will have a psychological relief". Sen. McCain we are not looking for psychological relief instead we are looking for real solution.




Health Care
Same policies

Social Security
Same as current or Bush's policies, lets privatized it and I will be able to use that money in future wars.

Housing Crisis
I have 6 houses, i am not in trouble so the rest of America is not.
