I think it is scary that McCain wants to build nuclear power plants and already has the number of plants predetermined! Great post and analysis of McCain.

His running mate, Palin whose youngest child is in need of special care, doesn't get it either. She's depending on all the nannies, et al, to take care of her baby if she's VP. In my opinion, both McCain and Palin need to give it up. Obama shows more strength, character and better judgement in his views of running our country as well as understanding what families with special needs children or adults needs.

So the program will still be funded, but since it's been underfunded I'm still not optimistic about what he'll do for us. Thanks for the clarification, Renny.

McCain came off as power hungry and does not understand what real Americans face. He has led the high life since marrying Cindy and has never lived in today's economy with real problems.
