Argument: McCain makes decisions impulsively

Issue Report: McCain vs. Obama

Support

“Obama for president”. The Atlantic. 4 Nov. 2008 – “Negative 2: Leadership style. John McCain is not willfully ignorant and incurious, which is a welcome contrast to George W. Bush. But he has shown during the campaign that he shares Bush’s weakness for impulsive, gut-instinct decisions. For Bush: the Iraq war; for McCain, the choice of Sarah Palin and the short-lived “emergency suspension” of his campaign.”
