In life we all go through issues, have problems and sometimes do things that we are not supposed to. That is just human nature. What makes someone a good person is the way that they react to their mistakes. All that happens to us, both positive and negative, is a learning experience. These are elements that allow us as individuals to progress and allows our societies to move forward, and in doing so, hopefully, making the world a better place in which to live.
McCain, we all know which one, was involved in a scandal a while back, a scandal i have only come to know of today due to my previous lack of interest in US politics. However, it is one that is rather relevant as we watch the turmoil in the stock markets, as AIG, Fanny and Freddie and various other financial institutions continue to fail. I am not going to explain it, since I have still processing all the information in my tiny brain, but i will provide a link to the video which does, and though it is long for our attention deficit MTV generation, I urge you to watch this because it really will have an impact in the way you feel about the man.

If McCain had come out at the end understanding that regulation was vital in the financial sector then I would hold my hands up and say: "well played, good job old chap". Yet after all the issues that the American people had to go through, he still calls for more deregulation. That is not progress. That is not learning. That is definitely not presidential material.
We have to remember as well that this guy has 5.. 7... 12, oh i can't remember how many houses and is married to a rather wealthy lady. I think that they could afford to get their own tickets to the bahamas (yes even the babysitter).
Regulation and bureaucracy are different things, in the same area but different. Regulation is important because it helps people to behave. People who for the most part only care about making vast amounts of money any way possible. Regulation we need. Bureacracy on the other hand can go to hell.
