I am actually an Australian citizen trying to write a glowing recommendation for John Mccain.

 What the hell, your australian!? never knew that :D

 I am also Australian, but I'm going for Obama.

First up, one of the most important rules of understanding economics is that at the end of the day, the market will always return back to a "normal" state, regardless of how much intervention there is from the governments, so long as there are people trying to maximise self benefit, the market will return to a stable position. That is why recessions will always be around and market booms will always be around.

In Australia, John Howard is a absolute genius. He used the time when the economy was naturally booming as a sign that he has good leadership (he does to an extent, but not that good). Now during the Labor years, the economy is going into a recession, partly to blame on the Labor government, but also because that is the way the economy will swing naturally. In essence, that is why Labor has always had a bad reputation for being a poor economic government, despite the fact that it is not actually entirely their fault. I hate it politicians promise to keep interest rates low when in fact they have little control over it.

My point is, Bush didn't bring about America's good economy and he didn't bring about the recession it's about to head into either. So you can't say Obama know's nothing about economics when all the government has control over is how long the decline is delayed for and to an extent how big it will be.

Personally, I'm going for Obama because I believe it's more important to have a coloured president than a female one. Not being sexist or anything, but the fact of the matter is, there are very few coloured leaders in non-african countries. Where as there are plenty of female leaders (the Queen, Prime Minister of NZ if she's still in office etc).

Also, I believe Obama is the most charismatic of the 3. 

Thats all good and what not if you want a man of color and charisma for the US presidency, but the fact of the matter is that the US is in a big hole. We have a dirty war, booming recession, and energy crisis which all needs immediate attention. I am voting for experience in these fields for President, aka McCain. As much as Obama is charismatic, I dont feel he has enough experience to get things done, maybe if he runs again in 4 years I will vote for him.

 As well, Hillary is too gung pow over healthcare instead of dealing with the real problems at hand. But no matter if Obama or McCain will win, they both are going in the right direction of change.
