John McCain vs. Barack Obama

This coming USA presidential election, there are two hot nominees, one from the Democratic Party and one from the Republican Party, these two people that I’m talking about are Barack Obama and John McCain.

John McCain is a lot older than Barack Obama. McCain was born at a military installation in Panama Canal Zone where his mother and father, navy officers were stationed. On the other hand, Obama was born in Honolulu, Hawaii. Oabama finished his pre-law course in Columbia University and finished his law course in Harvard Law School Magna cum laude. Compared to Obama, McCain graduated 894^th of 899 students. Therefore Obama is a lot wiser than McCain. Obama served as president of the Harvard Law Review, also worked as a community organizer, and practiced as a civil rights attorney.

Barack Obama, who’s in the Democratic Party, would provide a “middle class tax cut” of $500 to $1000, while ending most of the Bush tax cuts, including the one on capital gains taxes. Obama opposes new free trade initiates in Latin America and promises to reopen negotiations on NAFTA. He promises a variety of new spending initiatives, including investments in technology, education, and basic science. Obama would provide relief for home owners caught in the housing credit crunch, crack down predatory credit card practices, and expand the family leave act. He would also like to withdraw forcer from Iraq and promised to increase foreign aid program, particularly for Africa.

John McCain, who’s in the Republican Party, proposes to retain the Bush tax cuts, repeal the Alternate Minimum Tax, double the personal exemption for dependents, cut the corporate tax rate from 35% to 25%, and institute a new R&D tax credit. McCain would require raising taxes and bad taxes on the Internet and cell phones. He would institute an alternative flat tax that tax payers could decide to. He would also eliminate earmark spending, impose a one year freeze on domestic, discretionary spending, remove dysfunctional spending programs, and reform entitlement spending including Medicare and Social Security. McCain is in favor of personal accounts within Social Security. McCain supports free trade agreements and reforming the unemployment insurance system.

I think they both deserve to be the new president of the United States of America. Both have good proposals. But if I were to choose, I would choose Obama in terms of brains. You see that McCain is the 894^th student among 899 students if you read their biography. But in terms of experience though Obama has good experience too, McCain has more experience than Obama because McCain is already a pioneer in politics.

I salute them. May the best man wins.
