The Choice

One of the better articles I have found so far was this one called the “Choice” from New Yorker Magazine. The article sheds light on many important issues and shows the opinion of both McCain and Obama. The New Yorker claims, “the Iraq war seems to leave McCain and Obama roughly even.” Obama had opposed the invasion because he knew it would be so costly and would make America not well liked. McCain is on the opposite, whereas he wants more combat brigades in Iraq. Both hold varying positions that hold positive and negative attitudes to both of themselves. McCain still argues that Obama is valuing his career over his country. However, a lot of people do not believe McCain has political strategy in Iraq and Afghanistan. Either way the article points out restoring foreign affairs are huge to American success. American morals need to be restored as well. “The modern Presidency is as much a vehicle for communication as for decision-making, and the relevant audiences are global.”
