2008 America's make or break decision

So its Saturday night, and my Internet connection is not working (well lets be fair, my Ethernet cable is poked so is not working) so I have to watch Larry King. Inevitably, at a late hour one always likes to have thoughts on things, that at the end of the day no one will ever ask me about. Ah, the joy of the blog.

So Hillary/Obama/McCain, and I know you all want to know my thoughts:

First of all, doubtless of how convinced I am that McCain would actually make a good president; America is not ready for another republican at the moment, so that was quick.

In fact, America is not ready for a president but a visionary. There is a lot of hurt that needs to be healed not just externally, but more than anything within America. If America is not whole, with the power that it can wield, it becomes a toddler, with toy throwing issues (just more people can loose their lives).

Personally, Barak is required, nay essential, for the first term, to reunite America, and get dialogue moving on a level that is not laced with disdain with America. This is important, fundamentally so. If all that happens in his term was that America becomes the United States of America again, it will have been the most important geopolitical, economical and most orientated towards peace effort that America would have done so far this century.

Hillary is going to be an awesome president. She has the nonce and more importantly the ability to actually be a president to move forward. Just not now, she needs the foundation that Obama would create, for no platform, democrat or republican can effectively be attempted without unity.

America first needs to be cohesive (Obama) then it can move forward economically and geo-politically (Clinton).
