In my estimation both of the campaigns for president are acting in their worst interest right now. Each have been launching silly, inaccurate and downright mean attacks against one another that do little to raise the public discourse, give confidence to voters that they are reformers or solve problems. Neither candidate seems to have a really well defined plan for dealing with our economic woes and in a time when we need confidence in our elected officials, neither really stands out.

I don’t have much interest in writing about pig lipstick or who uses a computer better. Frankly if we are relying on the president to show off their computer prowess then I think we should immediately cut their staff in half. In reality the president doesn’t need to make PowerPoint presentations or spreadsheets and the attack is all the more appalling considering the fact that McCain cannot physically use a typewriter let alone a computer because of his war injuries.

Anyway where we stand in the campaign is infront of a massive void that neither looks likely to fill. So my advice to both is to suck it up and start acting like a president and not a national joke.
