I think your choice will depend on where you want to go in life. If you are satisfied with an average job, average salary, live in an average home, drive average cars (no horse power to meet EPA standards, and gov. help to keep GM alive and producing average cars), etc, then you will be very comfortable being a Democrat and voting for Obama. I am not passing judgment on that being better or worse. I know exceptionally good people across the spectrum
It just reads like he is passing judgement... that if you are satisfied with being average (ie lazy and unambitious)....vote for Obama and if you aspire to better yourself...vote for McCain
