A person to run for President of the United States who admits to being uneducated on the most important issue facing America?

I guess the poll question that you should be asking is "WHAT CANDIDATE BETTER UNDERSTANDS THE ECONOMY"? If you did that im sure that you will get mixed results. However no matter what John McCain says about the economy His economic policys are far better thanthat of Obama who is against drilling for oil, coal, and nuclear power. Obama is also wants to further tax the oil industry. Thats not only bad economic policy its suicide! Not to mention that he wants to raise taxes up to 50% in order to pay for social programs like socialized healthcare in the middle of a bear market. And obama is also against free trade. ""WoW what a retard!"" So in light of all the facts provided McCain would be far better for the economy! So if you consider McCain uneducated what does that say about Obama? Im glad to be the first to post on this thread!

Im not a McCain defender, but it's pretty obvious that any president who comes into power is going to have appointtees that will do all the hard educated stuff.

McCain is woefully ignorant on the economy, and yet his economic policies are a lot sounder than the ones proposed by Obama. I don't really care about who a politician is if I can't support their policies, and if I support a candidate's policies, then I don't care who that politician is.

No. Regardless of the issue. While I disagree 'the economy' is the biggest issue, I agree that any president who's uneducated in whatever particular field is the most to you, in your opinion 'shouldn't be running'.

I disagree that the economy is a major issue for POTUS because in actuality the direct effect a president can have on the economy is minimal. I can say this mostly because you've broaden the spectrum so far that I could say just about anything. 'The economy' could mean any of a variety of things, so maybe if you got a bit more specific it could be more easily addressed.

Rinse and repeat.

I suppose it's better for someone to admit that they need more education in a certain issue than to think they know all about it when they don't. At least this way he will be more likely to listen more to his advisers, who are truly educated (rather than just informed) on the issue.

I think McCain should be knowledgeable on all aspects of the issues.

However, it doesn't make a difference if he is or isn't on the economy because the President nor the government should have a hand in the economy anyways. Besides, they have intellectuals to do it for 'em anyways.

I do not see this as the biggest issue. Some may agree some may not. But the fact here is, as has been stated, the POTUS does not directly affect the economy, and the direct impact he has is minimal.

Come up with a poll that actually addresses the issues in full and I will vote on it.

Again I like the fact the man will admit that he's not an expert when he isn't, instead of pretending like most politicians would.

It isn't like Obama majored in economics. And his exposure to running a business sort of thing was a church foundation where people freely gave him money for him to help the poor with. Now that's a good thing. Though I think it's going to translate to him trying to do with same thing except replace "freely gave" with "forced to give".

It's also quite possible he'd pick a VP that's strong on economics.
