John McCain vs Barack Obama as Likely US President
Ever since the start of the presidential campaigns, the favorites to become president have been McCain and Obama. Even now, their battle for presidency is still quite close. All of the help from each of their supporters, all the ad campaigns, all their speeches, are very, very crucial in helping them achieve presidency. All of their works leave one question in mind, who will be the next US president?
First off, let’s look at their backgrounds. As stated in Wikipedia, Obama was born on August 4, 1981, in Honolulu, Hawaii. When he was in his second year in HarvardLawSchool, he was elected ‘president’ of the Harvard Law Review, which made him the first ‘black’ president of the Harvard Law Review. He was also elected into the Illinois Senate in 1996, succeeding Alice Palmer. McCain, on the other hand, was born in 1936 at Coco Solo Naval Air Station, Panama. He attended about 20 schools because of his fathers various naval postings. He became a Naval Aviator at Pensacola and flew several missions aboard various aircraft carriers. He became a POW in the Vietnam War, but fortunately, he was rescued. His 2008 presidential campaign is not his first, in fact, he also ran for president in 2000 against George Bush.
The two, Obama and McCain, have different views on different issues. On health care, Obama plans to make Health Insurance work for people and businesses, not just insurance and drug companies. McCain, on the other hand, believes that the key to health care reform is to restore control to the patients themselves. He also plans to make health insurance innovative, portable and affordable. On their views on job security, McCain plans to give workplace flexibility, relief for families, government reform, better healthcare, simpler and fairer taxes, lower barriers to trade, and support to small businesses. Obama will invest in the Manufacturing Sector and the National Infrastructure, increase federal support for research, and support small businesses as well. On Terrorism, Obama wants to withdraw the soldiers in Iraq and focus on defeating the terrorists in Afghanistan, while McCain’s solution includes ensuring quality intelligence, being protected against attack and being able to respond to an attack quickly.
Wikipedia is an unreliable source. For example, Obama's year of birth is 1961 NOT 1981...imagine if it were 1981 then he would be in his late 30s only.... It is not enough to just mention their distinct differences. You must find some similarity to connect both of them.
