Obama vs. McCain

This is the biggest battle that we have ever seen to hit the United States in full flesh.
Finally there is a black man who is nominated to become the next president of the untied states. There is also another candidate named Mccain who is appealing to a lot of the older generation and conservatives who are important. But America is looking for change, not the same conservative view points of those who couldn’t get it right the first time.
I will be voting for Barrack Obama this November and not because he is in fact black, but he represents the people. He has experienced what most of urban and working class Americans have experienced. He has lived a life similar to ours but proves that he can rise above the poverty, violence, drugs and nonsense that continue to plague Americans.
Obama gave an excellent speech during the Democratic National Convention. It took place on the anniversary of the Martin Luther King’s “I have a Dream” speech. Critics were expected Obama to go in, tell a little about himself, discuss his goals, and discuss how he plans to accomplish those goals, beat at Mccain, and end it with some acknowledgement of the Anniversary. All the big news networks analyzed his speech and about 95% of the critiques stated that Obama really nailed what he needed to do and made it very clear that he deserved the nomination for presidency. Congrats to Obama.
Obama is a realist. He understands that things can’t be done properly when done quickly. Especially when it comes down to gas and oil demand and the prices sky rocketing out of the roof. He explains that the process in which he has in mind will take approximately ten years and that it is the duty of America as a whole to help with this process. The money that America can save from not drilling can be distributed to businesses to create jobs for people, improve educational institutions and give teachers and professors higher salaries. Also it can help students be able to attend a college without being rejected because their family makes just enough for no aid yet struggle to get groceries when needed. With the balance of new jobs and employees we can then start focusing on developing alternative fuels for our everyday necessities. Hybrid cars are a big factor in that and solar powered energy in houses can also help to improve our lives. But like Obama stated, it will take time, determination to move forward and the help of America.
Obama wants to cut taxes. He stated there is no need to tax the people for the things that our government has done to the economy.
He also has the full support of Bill and Hillary Clinton and you can’t go wrong with that.
I can not vote for Mccain due to the simple fact that he is too much like Bush, only funnier. The man is running for president and uses cheap comedic punch lines to attack the credibility of Barack Obama. He deliberately compared that voting for Obama is like voting for Paris Hilton and Britney Spears to be our president. I believe this was a dumb move. That will not give him votes just because he compares Obama to women who are considered mess-ups in the entertainment industry. Obama is serious. Despite his popularity with many celebrities in the industry, he doesn’t use their names and cheap pop culture jokes to attack his opponent. He does it professionally.
Mccain wants to increase taxes to try to get America out of its deficit. That won’t work. Why have the people pay money for a situation they never got themselves into. Why have the people pay money for a war that half of them never wanted. He plans to continue the surge on the Middle East to insure victory. “I rather lose an election, than to lose a war.” Well, I rather not be a doushbag and just lose the war so that I wouldn’t lose the lives of my fellow citizens and brothers and sisters.
Mccain also made a shitty move by choosing Sarah Palin as his vice president. He thought he could win over the Hillary supporters by choosing a female vice president nominee. Well there is only one problem. Sarah Palin is no Hilary Clinton. Hillary Clinton is a democrat that has ideas that most women in America support. Sarah Palin is a republican governor who ran Alaska. Alaska is the only state that has no democratic influence present.
Biden, Obama’s vice president pick, has republican roots but democratic dreams. This was a strategic move on Obama’s part because he can now appeal to some of the republican voters. Biden has experience and has the support of democrats even though he is a republican.
Ultimately it is up to you, the voters, to vote and decide who you would rather see in office. I can’t tell you who to vote for but I can persuade you.
