McCain's Phantom 100 Nukes
So John McCain outlined his energy security plan Wednesday. He wants offshore drilling, $2 billion a year on clean coal technology (carbon capture and sequestration) research, and the building of 100 new nuclear reactors, 45 by 2030.
About the nukes: It is my understanding that such a plan would merely replace our 104 aging nuclear reactors and thus ultimately do nothing to diversify America's energy portfolio away from fossil fuels. Indeed, the McCain campaign's optimistic estimates of being able to cap carbon emissions without damaging the economy depend on a 150 percent increase in nuclear capacity, not merely replacing existing capacity as reactors age. Something doesn't add up here.

Presidential Temperament?
From one concerned citizen of U.S.A,
Dear American Voters, reporters, media. professionals, political parties, and presidential Nominees,
Hon. Senator McCain and Obama, besides each having many attributes and characteristics.
The critical differences between the two of these presidential presumptive nominees in my opinion are as under:
1. Presidential "Temperament and Caliber".
2. Little Washington "insider Versus outsider" experience.
3. "Vision and mission" for our nation future rather than past.
4. American policies, " first U.S.A Centric" than any other country [ ies ] centric.
In my professional opinion Senator Obama leads in all above qualities and attributes.
Senator Obama and his administration along with congress will address all the critical current and future domestic and foreign issues, challenges, and opportunities in coming years.
Let us remember and recite following concepts:
" Family, Friends, Fellows, Faith, Funds, Foundation [s], Fun, with Freedom & Fairness and without Fear, Favor, & Failure" . It applies to every citizen of our Greatgrand Nation.
Please stay involved, stay engaged, and stay informed. Please do not allow any seduction, deception, and or confusion by some partisan media and leaders effect your vote [ Psychological Terrorism ]..
Yours truly,
COL. [retd] A.M.Khajawall

PS: Please talk about the " Presidential Temperament And Caliber " of our presumptive presidential Nominees. We do talk about the "Judicial Temperament" of our Supreme Court Justices nominees and so far we have failed to talk about the " Presidential Temperament " of our presumptive presidential nominees. The " Presidential Temperament " is the ultimate and in my opinion only requirement of our president as that effects every living soul here and around the world.
Thanks again.
