McBush III ?

John McCain continues to paint himself into a corner.  Yesterday he made a speech that was not needed.  He spoke out on what type of Supreme Court justices he would appoint if he becomes the next President.  Instead of emphasizing moderate qualities based upon the Constitution and relevant interpretations, McCain cited Roberts and Alito as great examples.  It was not necessary for McCain to have cited William O. Douglas as his model but at a time where we need moderation, McCain missed his chance.

Looking at this speech on a larger scale voters can see a clear choice shaping up.  It is will it be “Bush III” or a new course.  McCain already has endorsed the Iraq War and offers no ideas on how to end it.  He has also proposed tax cuts which could create a trillion dollar deficit on a $ 3 trillion budget.  (This would put him on a track to match George W Bush’s dismal record by adding another $ 4 trillion to the national debt in his first term alone.) 

With the election looking like McBush III running against the Democratic candidate, it must really hurt inside the Clinton campaign staff that she could win the Presidency and become the first woman President.  (This reflects how failed the Bush Administration has been.)  Ironically it looks like it will be Barack Obama, the first African American President who will lead the Country beginning on January 20, 2009.
