If I had stayed with Uncle Sam I would have my 20 in June; since I have been part of a "fed family" since I left myself, it almost counts. What I hear about life in the Washington bureaucracy (which I always avoided) makes my glad I didn't stay.

I agree that no president will do much to help the hardcore bitter white males. Their agenda lacks broad support and appeal for any politician to implement it in toto.

I look at McCain and see pretty much what his presidency would entail. Hillary's agenda is more appealing to my personal biases and interests by far. But having her as the personality in the Oval Office (and the Billary thing) has no appeal for me at all.

Obama has an agenda I mostly like (trade being the main exception), an inspiring personality and at least an expressed interest in trying to do something different, whether that is major change, or maybe he just defuses the worst of the pissing matches around the Potomac.

I don't see any big downside. Experience is a straw man after the success of Reagan and Bill Clinton in the job.
