Why Senator Obama is the Only Candidate for U.S. President

John McCain, who happily volunteers “he doesn't know much about economics”, turned his attention to the subject today. This is the man that wants to run our country for the next four years.

MSN money reported today that: “Crude has its biggest one-day gain ever, and the Dow's loss is its worst in 15 months. Stocks drop about 3% for the week. Financial stocks are hit the hardest. The Labor Department says the economy lost 49,000 jobs in May; unemployment spikes to 5.5%.”

Want to talk about someone who lacks experience in the very areas that we need most from a president. Senator Obama has the education and the skills to develop a plan that will bring this country back into financial balance without harming low income or middle class families. We can not afford a Bush clone in the white house for the next four years unless we are willing to face a serious recession where older Americans on fixed incomes are the hardest hit.

Young people can work more hours and eat less without ill effects to their long term health. Not that anyone is looking forward to that prospect but our older individuals don’t have the ability to withstand that type of treatment from our government.

The only answer for President this year is Senator Obama.
