美國總統大選

Louisa和我的政治立場(台灣)基本上相同
所以也不像台灣社會新聞中夫妻為了選舉反目成仇
今年是我們第一次能投美國選舉
沒想到我們支持的人選卻不相同

基於共和黨較為反共與保守的立場
所以我支持馬侃
想說他比較支持台灣
而且是反同性婚姻等我較為支持的政策

至於Louisa呢?
她則偏好歐巴馬
因為民主黨對移民政策是較為寬鬆
歐巴馬當選對她們的業務一定有幫助
加上歐巴馬又是年輕帥哥
Louisa一看到馬侃就說好像老的要中風了
她又很討厭培林
哪天馬侃若駕鶴西歸她可不想一個像培林那樣的人繼任

這是今天 Washington Post的新聞
歐巴馬真的是不像馬侃那樣支持台灣
若歐巴馬也支持售台F16 C/D和潛艇的話
我可能會比較不討厭他


Obama Commends Taiwan Arms Sale

Updated 4:30 p.m.By Glenn KesslerSen.

Barack Obama today welcomed the Bush administration's decision to sell $6 billion of military equipment to Taiwan, but unlike his presidential campaign rival, Sen. John McCain, he did not call for the administration to also add submarines and F-16 aircraft.

"Senator Obama welcomes the Bush Administration's decision to notify Congress concerning the package of weapons systems for Taiwan. This package represents an important response to Taiwan's defense needs. This action is fully consistent with U.S. obligations under the Taiwan Relations Act. The sale helps to contribute to Taiwan's defense and the maintenance of a healthy balance in the Taiwan Strait," said Wendy Morigi, national security spokesperson for Obama, in a statement.

"Senator Obama strongly supports the reduction of tensions between China and Taiwan, and commends China's President Hu Jintao and Taiwan's President Ma Ying-jeou for their efforts in that regard. A strengthening of Taiwan's defenses will not undermine the process of reduction of tensions and can actually promote it," she added.

On Tuesday, the GOP presidential nominee said the White House did not go far enough when it said it would sell 330 Patriot Advanced Capability (PAC-3) missiles and 30 Apache Block III Longbow Attack helicopters."The package will not include submarines or new F-16 aircraft. I urge the administration to reconsider this decision, in light of its previous commitment to provide submarines and America's previous sales of F-16s," McCain said.

The Obama campaign declined to comment on whether he supported or opposed adding the submarines and F-16 aircraft to the package, saying the statement stood by itself even though it did not address those issues. The submarines were originally included in the arms package that President Bush proposed in 2001.

The White House announcement so angered China that it canceled senior-level visits to the United States. "Senator Obama regrets that China has responded by suspending military-to-military exchanges with the U.S. and nonproliferation talks," Morigi said. "These discussions are in the interest of both sides, and should be resumed."
