Patsy Said:

Would McCain make the absolute WORST president ever?

We Answered:

No, I don't believe so. He would probably be saved by U.S. Grant, Jimmy Carter and G.W. Bush.

McCain's fundamental problem, as I see it, is not hatred for anyone, but a fundamental ignorance of what is now required. He has led his life in a tight military bubble, followed by a life of wealth and privilege. Under those circumstances, the only thing he had to face on his own was the time in Hanoi. There is no question of his heroism there, but there are many brave people on the planet who are not qualified to be president, or many things less demanding.

I find it hard to understand how he could possible understand the everyday requirements of the electorate under those conditions. And, after almost 30 years of "trickle down" economics during which not very much trickled down but a lot trickled out to the point where we don't make anything anymore, we don't need more of it --- the pendulum has to swing at least a bit in the other direction to heal some of the deep divisions which have resulted.

An "academic" understanding will just not do it this time. That "cardboard" approach to problems, which is quite evident in his speeches, is exactly why many fewer voters warm to McCain that Obama.

He would not be a "bad" president, but neither do I think he will be a "good" one. He would just hold things together until a better one comes along.

And for those who profess to be scared to death of Obama, what ever happened to that supposedly American expression "Just go for it!"? He can hardly do worse than McCain in any case.
