The, "if John McCain is a fool, do you think Obama will be better" syllogism is inane. You assume much about the world, a luxury.
Well I just look outside my window and compare what has happened over the last 8 years to our position in the world to where we were, and where we can be. McCain a fool? No, just dangerous as he is one-dimensional, like Bush. Obama the savior? No, but I am surprised at how welcomed he is around the world. What does that tell you about the last 8 years and how we are seen in the world?

Stating assumptions about the world opens up challenges and discussion, and learning. I have never taken the safe road, the easy path. Here I learned what the word syllogism means.
