John McCain, a crotchety old man
obsessed with earmarks and the surge,
promises little beyond extending
Bush tax cuts, and continuing his war.

Obama offers inspiring lists of thoughtful,
nuanced programs that John easily festoons
with tall tales of calamitous consequences,
largely untrue, but easy to understand.

John balances his age with an attractive
Chatty Cathy while Barack tempers his
youth with a sage willing to share, share,
share his knowledge and experience.

It will be far easier and wiser for voters
to compare continuing the Iraq war to
a responsible withdrawal, than to choose
between these caricatures of candidates.
