There is no doubt that both Barack Obama and John McCain are two strong willed men. Each has a significantly different vision of where America should go in the early 21st century. Their decisions could impact the entire century. After all appointments to the Supreme Court are for life. The longest-serving chief justice of the US, Warren Earl Burger headed the court from 1969 to 1986. Scalia was appointed to the current court September 26, 1986. The impact of Ronald Reagan’s presidency is still affecting behavior and discussions throughout the country and he left office in 1989.
Now we have John McCain running for president. He was born August 29, 1936. He just turned 72 years old. He most likely does remember WWII. His family has a history of military service. According to all accounts he followed in the footsteps of his father and grandfather, McCain graduate from the United States Naval Academy in 1958.
I thought I heard him use the word “fight” repeatedly throughout his acceptance speech. Reviewing the text I found he used “fight”, “fights”, or “fighting” a toal of 25 times. In addition he used the word “fought” 9 times. Compare that with Obama’s acceptance speech. Barack Obama used the word “fight” twice and the word “fought” twice. Giving up an early release as a POW, John McCain was a fighter who stayed in the Hanoi Hilton for five years.
The reality is that being president is more than being a fighter. The United States needs a leader with the wisdom and skills to negotiate a variety of situations. Will John McCain be ready to “fight” every nation in the world that does not bow to the United Sates views? Most of those situations are not related to fighting. They are about reaching a result in good legislation that will move our nation forward. Words matter more than fists. Barack Obama is the skilled orator and communicator.
