  1. yes he does.


  2. we cannot conclude unless we see him work in the oval office. many politicians talk differently than what they feel and do.

  3. Without a doubt.

  4. No.  Obama loves to say "voted with GB 90% of the time."  The vast majority of those votes were unanimous votes (yes, all Dems too!) on such issues as naming buildings, commending sports teams, etc, etc.  

        * McCain fought for campaign finance reform — McCain-Feingold — that Bush resisted and ultimately signed because he had no choice.

        * McCain led the battle to restrict interrogation techniques of terror suspects and to ban torture.

        * McCain went with Joe Lieberman on a tough measure to curb climate change, something Bush denies is going on.

        * McCain opposed the Bush tax cuts when they passed.

        * McCain urged the Iraq surge, a posture Bush rejected for years before conceding its wisdom.

        * McCain favors FDA regulation of tobacco and sponsored legislation to that effect, a position all but a handful of Republican senators oppose.

        * McCain's energy bill, also with Lieberman, is a virtual blueprint for energy independence and development of alternate sources.

        * After the Enron scandal, McCain introduced sweeping reforms in corporate governance and legislation to guarantee pensions and prohibit golden parachutes for executives. Bush opposed McCain's changes and the watered-down Sarbanes-Oxley bill eventuated.

        * McCain has been harshly critical of congressional overspending, particularly of budgetary earmarks, a position Bush only lately adopted (after the Democrats took over Congress).


  5. follow it exactly

  6. YES!
