whos the right man for president?

Obama is similar to which following former leader:

1- Adolf Hitler
2- Benito Mussolini
3- Francisco Franco
4-Joseph Stalin
5- All of the Above

Answer: 5- All of the Above.

Dont get me wrong, im likely going to vote for obama. But he does offer quite the "message of hope" that these leaders have. I got that little question from a post on facebook, heres the rest of it:
Show me a politician who has implemented the same type of repetitive meaningless rhetoric, use of media outlets, and focus on youth that Obama has, and when you cant, think of whom he resembles most...
yeah, so.. its still down to obama or mccain, we do still get to choose (so some of us like to think. I believe in the power of the people.) and what we really need to focus on is the issues. yeah, click that, i fuckin love politicalbase.

but the real question is: what is the right way to fix our current situation?
i first started thinking about that in my com 112 class this summer. really, isnt there a right answer to this? one person could make, the other could break our economy, world affairs situation, education system etc.
everyone will say something different. yet we all feel about the same when it comes to the economy.

they say we cant administer tests to determine voting capability, but just as an experiment, id like to see how politically tuned-in each candidates voters are. perhaps a post-voting awareness poll right in the machines. I dont think id be surprised to see the results of america as a whole. after all, its really just hair politics. I personally think obamas chance of success will come down to how much of the youth vote turns out on election day. his motto "yes we can" could easily turn into a voter motivator in a climate where most think their vote doesnt count. well people, your vote cant be counted if it isnt cast.
