The online publication Politco is reporting that former GOP Senator Larry Pressler voted for Barack Obama and donated $500.00 to his campaign. Pressler was the first Vietnam veteran to serve in the U.S. Senate. The reason he gave for backing Obama was the economy. Here is a quote from the article:"I just got the feeling that Obama will be able to handle this financial crisis better, and I like his financial team of [former Treasury Secretary Robert] Rubin and [former Federal Reserve Chairman Paul] Volcker better," he said. By contrast, John McCain's "handling of the financial crisis made me feel nervous."

John McCain making him or "anyone" else feel "nervous"? Nervous? What an under statement. He's a ticking time bomb. PTSD never treated I say...Come on...5.6 yrs. as a prisoner of war being tortured? They tried to release him? He could have got out and didn't? He wanted to stay. Like a wife suffering from PTSD or spousal abuse syndrome and stays with an abusive husband? For "THIS" he thinks he's a hero? Please...John McCain has issues. Still angry and rightfully so, but a ticking time bomb.
