McCain: Solutions for after the cat's out of the bag.
If I was advising Obama, I would tell him to start using the word foresight more, instead of change.

I would point that what our country needs is a leader who has the foresight to anticipate problems instead of just reacting to them.

Iraq is the perfect example: Whatever the merits of the surge,(and I think it probably has a lot less to do with the relative calm in Iraq now than it is being given credit for) it was necessitated by a pompously poor war plan that McCain energetically supported. "John, the bottom line is you lacked the foresight on Iraq."

"John, the bottom line is you lacked the foresight in the Keating Five scandal.

"John, you lacked the foresight on the need for regulatory requirements."

"John, you lacked the foresight for what is needed in a President by choosing Governor Palin as your running mate."

"And John, I would submit you lack the foresight to overhaul the American Medical Insurance system>'

"No, you see John, what you're proposing might have worked ten years ago and as such is basically reactive. But we need to proactive about these problems. To measure ourselves by what we can be in the future, not by comforting ourselves by looking through a rear view mirror of what we think we were in the past. No, America needs foresight. And that is what I can bring to the table. And what you're stances on Iraq, deregulation, minimum wage, and the medical insurance crises in America, to name just a few, prove you lack.
