Big Mac's Big Vision

Criticize him if you want (I know I do), but at least John McCain gives you something to grab on to. Obama critics often fumble when challenged because the O Man just doesn't give his detractors much to hold on to. How do you criticize hope?
Anyway, Mr. McCain has laid out more of his vision for governing. These are non-partisan issues addressed from a centrist-conservative perspective. I think many voters will find them attractive. If nothing else, his approach is refreshing.

- A "League of Democracies" has supplanted a failed United Nations to apply sanctions to the Sudanese government and halt genocide in Darfur.

- The United States has had "several years of robust growth," appropriations bills free of lawmakers' pet projects known as "earmarks,"

- Public education improved by charter schools

- Health care improved by expansion of the private market

- Energy crisis stemmed through the start of construction on 20 new nuclear reactors.

- Democrats are asked to serve in his administration

- He holds weekly news conferences

- And, like the British prime minister, answers questions publicly from lawmakers.

Despite my earlier comment, I believe Mr. Obama is a sincere man. Maybe this election can actually avoid trashy tabloidism and be about real issues for a change. I can dream...
