I was never very enthusiastic about either of the two Presidential candidates. Both were big government types. Although McCain did show some interest in Australia.
I was hoping Hillary Clinton would get the nod on the Democrat side. Her battle axe reputation would be a positive in the position. On the Republican side I was hoping for an experienced executive like Romney or Giuliani . But hey, what would I know I'm an Australian after all.
What concerns me is that neither Obama or McCain have any executive experience. They are both senators. Nearly all Presidents going back to at least Coolidge have been former vice presidents or governors. The only exceptions were Eisenhower, who certainly had top level executive experience as a general, and Kennedy.
Just remember that the closest the world has ever been to nuclear destruction was during Kennedy's Cuban Missile Crisis .
