After reading this blog I believe that John McCain is really not a good candidate for President. I think he's not a good President because he was with for President Bush opinions for America, and he opposed the creation of the Martin Luther King Jr. Day which is important to African Americans. I thoink it was interesting that he went to war for a long time even when he was begged not too fight, and still went to fight at his injuried stage. The thing that wonder me is what is he going to do if he becomes President of the United States, is he going to run the country to the top or bottom. In responce I think John McCain needs to know what he needs know what he's doing as President instead of letting someone else do all the work for him.
