That's not fair, McCain's a smart guy for a Republican nominee.

Didn't hear it but based on his usual stuff, I'd say as usual, less emotion and random stuff, more business and focus on the actual problems.

Politics is aesthetics. A campaign can't be won without rhetorical bullshit because the people are too stupid to know what they want. That being said, Obama is really good at his rhetorical bullshit. Even I got a little bit emotional.

Fake solutions probably, didn't hear it but when I read that he wanted to raise salaries, I couldn't help but laugh.

Obviously he's saying that middle class wages will go up with careful regulation of a mixed economy. Which makes sense if you know anything about the Great Compression between FDR and Reagan.

>> No.1214289

Interesting thing - when he started, Obama talked too much policy in his speeches and people complained that he sounded like a professor. He's obviously a smart guy; I'm not worried about that. The right policies are another matter, though.

>> No.1214296

>>1214278
Which was possible back then, try raising buying power now, there's no way you can even think about improving that within the next five years, the economy is so fucked up, just having them stay at their actual value is good.
Then again, we can still make inflation, with all that new money in the banks, sure, they'll see their paycheck increase by a few digits, but probably not the number of things they can buy.

Being popular may mean winning elections, but I don't vote on jerking feelings.
We're talking personal opinions here, being popular is of course a better way to win than having the right policy for the country, so few people understand anything about economics and world politics, all they want is the new candidate to pander to their little problems.

>> No.1214333

>>1214317
I was there when people were wondering why the Hell a newbie congressman with no congressional record was trying to run for President based on, basically, a straight-Left platform.

Then he started singing like a songbird, men and journalists started creaming their trousers at the mere sound of his voice, and "CHANGE" became the emptiest mantra I've ever heard in an election cycle.

How about you do some research?

>> No.1214350

>>1214315
But talking about personal opinions, I don't want to vote for someone popular, I want to vote for someone efficient who will do the right choices.
Of course, being popular is an easier way to win elections than making the right choices because most people don't understand anything about economics and world politics, all they want is their president to pander to their little problems.
I'm currently watching Barr's interview, whose inclinations I agree more to.

man, I don't plan on voting for for the republicans or democrats. I'm either going to go with Ron Paul or Huckabee (however you spell his name.)
