It's for real alright. One of my cousins lives in Marshall and sent this pic to me yesterdee.

While the last presidential election just like most in my lifetime was a lesser of evils, I don't think McCain would have been as bad. I can't see him having expanded the scope and breadth of the federal govt. in the same manner nor having piled on the deficit as drastically either. I also "think" he'd have had a greater concern for the populaces' opinion than our current POS-IC does.

I can't see McCain having shoved an Obamacare-like package down our throats, having gone on a world apology tour to denounce and belittle America while bowing and kissing ass all across the globe, pulled the plug on the missile defense system in Poland, humiliated the Israelis, having nationalized GM and Chrysler, the student loans program, or have been on such a campaign to take over other segments of the private sector like our current "little sheet headed" prez has managed in such an amazingly short period. And ... though he never campaigned for transparency I feel sure McCains administration would have been much more so than what we have now.

The best thing I can say about Obama is he's managed to raise the level of ire in the people towards the democrats and big government in general to such a degree that he's insured the dems will get a pretty solid throuncing in November and many will be unseated which will help at least slow the wheels of the machine over the next 2 yrs before he then gets voted out.

Sadly I still don't see any great offerings on the horizon for a replacement prez that I could solidly back either
