- Flaw #1: He may be confused about whether's he's black or white - he can't figure out why he has to choose. I think the Rev. Wright experiment was a genuine attempt to lay roots Black America.
- Flaw #2: He's too ambitious - he probably knew a long time ago that he wanted to be president - in which case, he's crazy to even be so audacious or prophetic (how would he know that W. would mess up this badly?) Counter: 99% of politicians aspire and plan for public office long before they begin their quest. Here is John McCain in his book "Worth the Fighting For" - "I didn't decide to run for president to start a national crusade for the political reforms I believed in or to run a campaign as if it were some grand act of patriotism. In truth, I wanted to be president because it had become my ambition to be president. . . . In truth, I'd had the ambition for a long time."
- He doesn't show his emotions; he's too reserved and under control. McCain on the other hand, is very emotional, according to his closest friends.
- He's an eagle and he knows it -- he wants to relate to the pigeons, but unlike Paul the Apostle, he really doesn't know how to be all things to all people...at least he tries
- He's the worst kind of idealist - he thinks that people can actually come to a political center -- in fact, he misjudged badly. People follow politics the way they follow sports -- most pick a team and stick with it. He is now running the risk of alienating most everyone.
- Same with religion. Unfortunately you can't believe in evolution and call yourself a christian. In other words, its us (Christians) versus them (scientists and atheists). He (and I) wants to have a progressive view on the Bible, acknowledging that we don't know it all, but we will in time. But neither side will have that.
- He has/had a smoking habit. So instead of partying or drinking or sleeping around, he deals with stress by smoking. Hopefully he doesn't smoke with his daughters in the car.
- He married a beautiful yet intelligent woman.
