He Supported President Bush in 2004 2

I am not judging McCain based on George W. Bush's record. It is simply not fair to McCain, especially since he has bucked Bush on more than a few things: fiscal policy, Iraq, foreign policy, environmental policy. McCain I believe would be a better President than Bush: I think would be more deliberative and his range of experience is superior to Bush's in every respect. Are there a few things that concern me about him? Yes, his weak credentials on economic matters might be problematic--I don't like some of the economic advisors he's surrounding himself with, plenty of lightweights, and his foreign policy stances on some issues are troubling, such as his overly belligerent views on the Russians. But I like McCain overall, he strikes me as someone straightforward and honest. That is always a good start.
