Who will win, Obama or McCain?

I really am no political guy and am shit with numbers but a few things.

I think it's pretty funny that McCain wants to get NATO involved with Russia and Georgia, when the primary reason Russia is in there right now is because Georgia wants to join NATO. There are some wild fires burning a few miles away, maybe I should go empty my gas tank onto them. And the fact that everyone else in the world laughed off UN intervention definitely isn't a good sign. I can't see how McCain is going to have any pull with the rest of the world as they are going to see him as just another George Bush. May or may not be but that's how he's being treated now.

Also, drilling for oil is so pointless I can not believe it. Does anyone really think that is a long term fix? Unless your Lyle and think oil isn't a fossil fuel? The people want drilling because they want ANYTHING, me included. But it's really going to do no good. No reason we can't power ourselves on something other then oil.

And 4:27 a gallon isn't a relief at the pump either.

#1 The US isn't going to help Georgia as we're in no position to right now. We will use rhetoric (hopefully better than Obama does...."this doesn't match the Olympic spirit" what a fucking pussy) and diplomacy but that's about all. Russia will turn Red once again and start grabbing up it's old haunts: Latvia, Estonia, etc.

#2 NATO is meant to keep events that lead to World Wars I & II from happening and to control and curb the expansion of communist Russia and everyone involved outside the US has taken that organization for granted.

#3 The UN won't do anything because it's a worthless organization built upon the fallacy that all countries carry the same weight in politics and economics. Some countries are just bigger, better, and more important than others.

#4 Well buddy the US DOES have untapped oil reserves as do most countries and if oil was running out then why would oil companies spend the majority of their money on research and development? As for long term fixes, there aren't any....it's been this way forever. Maybe it will inspire someone to make something new and better BUT until that day comes we might as well just get used to it.

#5 The price of oil is coming down slowly but surely. What's not helping is SUBSIDIZING other fuels which just plain and simple don't fucking work, if they did we wouldn't need to subsidize them....ethenol is driving the cost of fuel AND food up. And the same people bitching about the price of oil and "Man made Global Warming" are against Nuclear Energy....why? Because they are idiots!
