If John McCain was President, how would he handle all the things Pres. Obama is dealing with now?

[islandgirl808]

Based on what he promised during his campaign.

i never did pay attention to his campaign from the get-go and would like to know what you guys think :shrug:

[tekisui]

1. He wouldn't be doing any of the things Obama is doing now.

The economy would be in a tailspin, and surges would be had everywhere.

[Skidmore]

2. Well, we would have bombed the germs out of Mexico by now.

[phantom power]

3. He would have told all our problems to get off his lawn!

[ecstatic]

4. Rush Limbaugh would be running the country right now

Scary thought... :scared:

[endarkenment]

5. badly nt.

[Arkana]

6. By having a heart attack, dying, and allowing Armageddon

by having Sarah Palin sworn in as the 45th President of the United States.

Oh god I think I need to go lie down.

[Demeter]

15. I Think I'll Join You

Just let me get some liquor, first. I need a drink!

[firedupdem]

7. Cut Taxes of course! n/t

[Drunken Irishman]

8. He would have stroked out by mid-February and Palin would be president.

[Mz Pip]

9. I have no idea

what he would be doing. That's one of the things that bothered me so much about him. He never seemed to be able to articulate a coherant policy. One minute he'd sound sort of like a moderate Republican, then he picked Sarah Palin as a running mate who was about as unmoderate as they come.

I never got a sense of what kind of vision he had for America, except that we'd keep up the war stuff indefinitely. He struck me as a sort of not over bright guy who was really really clueless about domestic issues and just another war monger on foreign policy.

[islandgirl808]

10. that's sort of what i thought about him

and why i stopped paying attention. all i kept hearing was the war and that turned me off.

he could have very well been another puppet a la bush II.

[Mz Pip]

19. It's a problem the whole GOP has

No clear sense of vision.

I get a clear message about what kind of vision the Democrats have for America - a country where people have decent jobs in safe work environments, access to affordable health care and good education.


I don't know what the Republicans envision. Tax cuts, tax cuts, tax cuts. Okay but what does America look like? They have not done a good job of articulating any kind of vision.

[olegramps]

38. Just what kind of vision can he have with his head up his ass. Just a shitty one.

[Island Blue]

11. Depends.

He'd be filling his about now.

[endarkenment]

20. .

[El Supremo]

12. He'd remind everyone that he was a POW. n/m

[valerief]

13. We would cut taxes for wealthy. That would fix everything. That and denial throughout the media. nt

[Golden Raisin]

14. He'd be publicly parading Osama

bin Laden since McCain kept saying he knew how to capture bin Laden. Actually, I think McCain would have probably not been able to take the pressure of the job and had some sort of cardiac event that would polish him off and Sarah Palin would be President. I think I'm going to be ill.

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

18. I always wondered why he wasn't asked directly "well if you know how to get him, why don't you

share it with us now? We have to elect you to find out? What the fuck is that?"

[Withywindle]

34. I know, right?

I don't know if that's extortion, bribery, or treason?

By then, though, everybody with a brain knew he couldn't find his own ass with both hands and a hunting dog, so nobody bothered to call him on it.

[jberryhill]

24. I forgot about that....

Why won't he tell President Obama how to capture Osama Bin Laden?

[FrenchieCat]

16. He would have suspended his presidency, and would be on his way to Mexico

to solve the pandemic Flu crisis.

[Politicalboi]

17. We would have another war

By now. Can you imagine what his trip to EU would have been like. They probably would have had riots in the streets with shoes being thrown all over the place. And that doesn't even cover Hugo. LOL!

[icnorth]

21. We should just let John speak for himself...

[lunatica]

22. It would be like Bush was still the Decider Guy

And maybe even worse, because McCain has a far nastier temper.

[JimWis]

23. My mind won't go there.

[TheKentuckian]

25. I'll take Joe the Scar's word on this one

Less jobs and more wars.

[ksoze]

26. He would be checking in with his VP - OMG she would be VICE PRESIDENT!

Sara Palin, VP. Just the thought alone is enough to make me feel nauseous.

[ejpoeta]

37. how long do you think it would take her to figure out just what a vp does all day?

i mean, she's doing such a bang up job for alaska right now.... probably picture that, only moreso.

[BlooInBloo]

27. Unemployment would be close to 0%...

It takes a lot of people to make as many bombs as he would go thru, dontchaknow.

[Drunken Irishman]

33. Well the population would be close to 0, too.

You know, after he provoked nuclear war with North Korea & China.

[Kind of Blue]

28. Gosh, that never entered my mind.

Perish the thought :rofl:

[Captain Hilts]

29. Very poorly. He continues to be temperamentally completely unsuited for the job. nt

[bulloney]

30. Assuming McCain would have delivered addresses in the same countries as Obama,

my guess is that the audiences would have fit in a small restaurant banquet room.

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

31. He wouldn't be handling things. The rapid righties would kill him off and Palin would be in charge.

[Frank Booth]

32. . .

[Jennicut]

35. We would be worried about his health on a daily basis...and that Phalin could become Prez

Basically it would suck.

[quaker bill]

36. poorly n/t

[Vinca]

39. Iran would be a hole in the ground and we would be in a bona fide depression.

There would be daily prayer services among the people who hadn't fled to Canada, praying for McCain's good health as Sarah Palin hung her dead animal heads around the White House offices.

[dascientist]

40. FAIL

[Orsino]

41. He hasn't handled anything in years...

...which is why his vague promises to handle stuff in the campaign came off as unconvincing. He couldn't even delineate the promises he was going to break.

[Bankhead_ATL]

42. more tax cuts

[GardeningGal]

43. Only for his rich cronies. nt
