I'm praying for a Obama-Clinton Ticket

I agree with your statements. First and foremost, I consider myself to be a Democrat. I must say that I am a Hillary supporter. However, as you state, even though Obama is no guarantee that our problems will be fixed, Obama is indeed willing to try.
Besides, after 8 years of a Republican administration that has contributed to all of our existing problems, it is time for a change. Although I think McCain is a likeable and apparently sensible individual, I do not agree with his war strategy. Though the troops cannot be removed all at once from Iraq, McCain's stance on staying there as long as it takes is completely inane and absurd. Additionally, the "war" on Iraq is pointless and we have no reason for being there. The only ones benefitted from this war are that faction of peaceful Iraqis who can now attempt to live a new life away from the repression of Saddam Hussein's regime.
Aside from the nation as a whole, Jeb Bush, George W's brother, who used to be governor of Florida, also did nothing for the state of Florida... But that's neither here nor there.
Bottom line is: We need change. Even if McCain is president and does something to alleviate the economy, those efforts will be futile. All the money used to fund the economy will be utilized for that purpose. Anyone who has some sense knows that historically in times of war, economic prosperity at home declines. Gas prices are ridiculous. Food prices are starting to greatly rise due to inflation. The job market is absolutely terrible. Companies are cutting back severely and many jobs are being eliminated or people are being laid off. Many people are losing their homes as well. Even though there have always been times of prosperity and economic decline, many people of older generations are saying that this is far the worst era this country has experienced. And I am assuming it is safe to say that this is the most difficult era since the Great Depression of the 1930s.
We need to stop focusing so much on what's going outside and truly focus on our needs and hopefully the next president will be able to take our country back.
