I’m 100% McCainian-Palinist!
October 26, 2008What is it that more than half of Americans (at least from the polls) wanted to change about their country that they wanted to elect Barack Obama, the democratic presidential ticket, as the next president?
Coming from outside America who salutes the American dream, I can’t help but wonder, is America really that bad that they want it to change? Perhaps, there are glitches in the current system that can be improved but the kind of change that is not definitive and is merely a campaign slogan, I don’t see why Americans should buy it.
What kind of change does Obama want? It seems to me that he wanted it badly to change that the fundamentals of the American way of life is under threat!
Former NYC Mayor Giuliani coined it aptly, “change is not a destination, hope is not a strategy”.
Yes, the mess that the Americans made, which directed them and the world to the current financial crisis, is a tremendous lapse in its preceding administrations, but is it solely the fault of the republicans? There are a lot of admirable traits about the American political 2-party system (democratic/GOP), it provides room for debate, which is good for check and balance, but where was the democrats when the economic crisis was still boiling? They could have prevented it in the first place. And now, Obama have the advantage only because they see Barack more as the person who can handle this chaos properly? With his weapon as being only an illinois state senator and a merely 2-yr U.S. senate member? I never thought that majority of the Americans have bought the robinhoodish kind of heroism!
If Obama would’ve been the presidential contender in the Philippines, I bet he would sweep the votes. With majority of the people living within and below the poverty line, certainly, Obama’s idea of spreading the wealth around will get the message across (an erap approach).
But I still believe that the Americans will decide well, and correctly at that! I still believe that most Americans are intelligent and are capable of making the right choice.
Since when did the Americans elect someone only because of his eloquence without fully scrutinizing his character? Being linked to Bill Ayers and Reverend Wright? I agree with John McCain that undoubtedly, there is a lack of judgment when he chose to be affiliated with these personalities, or better yet, a very poor judgment!
What about the war in Iraq? As I see it, majority of the Americans wanted to retaliate and wage war against terrorism after 9/11. And these people who are now saying otherwise (that they are losing the war in Iraq and was a mistake) are hypocritical - more so with Colin Powell!
Fox news channel have covered the current situation in Iraq. I don’t see why they think they’re losing when in fact; the streets in Baghdad are buzzing with life? Why would Barack accept that kind of defeat? McCain is right that they should bring home the soldiers with DIGNITY and PRIDE. A battle WON, and should be continually fought upon!
Undisputedly, the world as we see it now wouldn’t be what it is if not for the American interventions and its advocacy for DEMOCRACY.
I understand that Obama’s role in the democratic ticket is a history in progress. But are most americans that moron enough to elect him only to achieve that kind of history (electing the first U.S. African-American president)? The way I look at it, Obama is only reading a part fit enough for a Hollywood presidential role… BUT NOT THE WHITE HOUSE!
I believe that on the 4th of November, Americans will FIGHT! McCain will win!
