I was reading couple of blogs and one post caught my attention. It was a post on Reuters where the author raises a question of if Obama can lead the Country in a crisis. I find this question not convincing.
Who from the lot (Hillary Clinton, John McCain and Barack Obama) have had experience of dealing with any crisis as a President. All three of them will be first time presidents and all three of them are committed to lead the country for good. I bet, once elected, all of them will do their best for the country.
All three of them have different background experience. That experience does not equate to being a good president for the country. McCain and Clinton have experience ("to a certain degree") while Obama has the enthusiasm to change America and change the way the world looks at America today. I see McCain and Clinton lacking this enthusiasm.
Remember, if Clinton of McCain acts like President Bush - not consulting with required personnel and not considering their views, they will turn out like President Bush and the world will only frown more at America than they frown today. It was this reportedly flawed policy of Bush where some have reported that he never used to listen to or entertain those who opposed his views. He forgot he was not running a business, but was running a large nation.
All three of them will have to consult top personnel (military and non-military) and take into consideration what they all say positive or negative, matching his views or opposing, before taking a decision.
Many leaders have led their country in the best way people have seen, without having the experience which Clinton and McCain talks of.
What is there to answering a 3AM call, when 100 percent they will have to call for an urgent meeting to discuss it further....unless some ignorant nation is attacking the white house and his life is in immediate danger.
I believe, while voting in this presidential election, not to look into the experience of the candidates as Clinton and McCain are trying to put it. I believe, they are bringing it out because they do not have anything bad to speak about Obama. I believe that it is best to look into what each of them did (good or bad) before deciding whom to vote for. That good and bad will give a full picture of the person he will be, once in the Oval Office. Not his experience.
