Obama’s paid political announcement last night was compelling. A bit over-produced, still it had emotional impact and offered everything any sane person would want. Can Obama deliver, is my question. Perhaps he can, and it’s likely I’ll rely on that feeling when I vote on Tuesday. As Whoopi Goldberg keeps saying on The View, I can’t wait till it’s over and we can move on, for better or worse.
I have strong issues against trusting my near future to McCain and Palin. They’re in-fighting. He called her a Diva, she makes caustic remarks about his campaign team. Is that how we want to spend four years, listening to sniping? I don’t believe Palin has the strength, the experience, or the judgement to carry the White House or this country, should that become necessary.
Obama - I still have a niggling doubt about where this man came from and what he is going to choose as his personal agenda. He will have one, they all do. But, I do believe the people who know him and are saying he is a decent person with some lofty goals. I see his wife - I’d vote for her! She’s awesome. I see his children. They are very appropriate and seem happy. It isn’t easy to keep a family together–it takes the characteristics I want in a leader, believe it or not. Strength, honesty, wiliness, forthrightness, intelligence, compassion, strong principals.
I think Obama will win - too many people are too worried about McCain’s temper, the last word. The fact that he’s fighting with his own running mate is frightening. The world won’t tolerate any more ugly-Americanism…there’s been enough. American’s see that clearly. Please go out and vote your conscience. We’re going to see record-breaking voting totals - wouldn’t 100% be awesome??
Go cast your ballot.
