Yes, yes, and yes.

This election comes down to national security and economic health for my decision making process - and McCain is better suited on both fronts.

At bottom, Obama had 143 days of Federal experience prior to declaring his candidacy. IOW, he is sorely inexperienced. I don't trust him to wield executive power. The sum of his economic and tax proposals will tank the economy; the average tax burden will increase by 30%, with many at 60%. He's an economic illiterate if he thinks his platform will create jobs - and a tyrant if he knows the cost to the economy and is willing to have the rest of us pay it to support his political ambition.

Regarding national security, we only need to compare the reactionf of McCain and Obama to Russia's invasion of Georgia to see who is better suited. McCain forcefully spoke out against the invasion; Obama waffled and tried to make them both at fault.

The world will be better off if we just leave Obama alone to eat his waffles and arugula.
