I take this very seriously. The world is filled with so many challenges. The next president must be wise enough to bring this nation around many obstacles. Just because John McCain was a committed soldier and showed extraordinary bravery does not necessarily qualify him to be our President. Likewise, Barack Obama’s opposition to the Iraq War or his support for change in government is not specific reasons to select him to be President.
Those two leading candidates need to address real issues and offer specific solutions. The issues are many but to date their ideas have been vague.
I want answers to these questions listed below but I fear that neither of these men will give me the specifics that I and most Americans want to hear. The questions are grouped from international issues to domestic issues but are in no particular order except perhaps in the order of what I am most concerned about.
