Obama Vs. McCain: Who Can Really Bring Change?

Which 2008 candidate will bring about the most change? Americans are ready for things to be better. Our country needs to be unified. Its one thing to claim you or going to put the United States back in the right direction, but it's another thing to actually do it. Most Americans realize that things have to change, but for some, they aren't sure what direction they should go. As the days go by, it's looking like Barack Obama and Senator John McCain will be the presidential nominees. Which one of the two actually has what it takes to unite our country?

Barack Obama is a blossoming politician and is still a Washington Outsider. His whole campaign is based on hope and change. He wants to help the average Americans and end the war in Iraq. He also wants to really be a man of the people. He doesn't want to be like other career politicians. Will this actually work though? Politicians promise us things all the time and never deliver. Barack has been talking about it, but can he actually do it? Well, the answer is complicated. Barack can certainly bring about change just for simply being different. If he becomes the first black president of the United States, there will certainly be changes. It is unclear whether or not these changes will actually happen though.

Senator McCain couldn't be any more different. His whole campaign is based on experience, and crossing party lines. He claims they he shows he can make changes because of his historic compromises during his years as a senator. Although this may be true, how much change can Mr. McCain actually bring about?

When analyzing whether or not these two men can actually bring about change, you have to determine what kind of change you actually want. You have two gentlemen on two different sides of the spectrum. You have a social conservative and a social liberal. There platforms are completely different. Both of these men will have the potential to change the world if they get in office, but who is to say this will be a positive change.
