Have McCain and Hillary forgotten that the role of President is comprised of many functions, Commander-In-Chief being only one? Another major function of the President is to be Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Federal Government. The CEO is responsible for management and budget. So instead of answering who I want to answer the phone, I'd rather answer who I want to manage the budget. If we use the financial management of the candidates' campaigns Barack Obama would win by a landslide. Not only has he raised more money than both Hillary and McCain, he is is the only one who has effectively managed his campaign's budget. Both Hillary and McCain ran out of money, and Hillary had to loan herself $5,000,000. The questions I would like to ask Hillary and McCain is to name their specific experience with respect to managing budgets, and have them explain how that experience was applied in their campaigns? That way the American people can get a feel for what to expect with respect to managing the American budget.
