US elections 2008: The presidential adventures of Clinton, Obama and McCain

by Dean Adams

Created on: May 05, 2008

There are two sides to every story, and voters, should know the entire story, of the 4 main characters, in the tale of the people who want to be the next American President

there are four candidates who have, a realistic chance of being the 44th, president of the united states, John Mccain, the 70 year old senator from Arizona, Ralph Nadre the green party candidate, Senator Harack Hussein O'Bama, from Illinois, former first lady and current N.Y. Senator, Hillary Rodham Clinton.


the case for senator Mccain, is that like former president Ulyses S. Grant , he's a war hero, having been a prisoner of war, during the Vietnam war, he's also very charismatic, he speaks his mind, even it means clashing with the agenda of the Republican party leadership, specifically current president Bush, and vice president Cheney.
The case for 3rd party candidate Ralph Nadre, is that he's independent and doesn't have to conform to or follow the politics of any party, Republican or Democrat, instead he can truly act on what the people want their leaders to do, without him falling to the Wyn's of special interest groups.
the case for senator and Democratic candidate hopeful, Barack Hussein O'Bama, is that he's the first black man to have had a realistic chance, at becoming commander and chief, he's also been endorsed by one of the most influential people in the world, that being television and media mogul Oprah Winfrey, in addition he's hugely popular with the youth whom will be voting for decades to come.
The case for former first lady and senator Hillary Rodham Clinton, is as numerous as the phone numbers in her husband and two term president Bill "Bubba" Clintons little black phone book. Mrs Clinton has served in the white house, so she knows what's expected and how to handle things, an as a result she'll be able answer the phone when it rings at 3 am, like she likes to ask senator Q'Bama. Her other qualities include fighting for and achieving social security benefits for the elderly and disabled, this shows she'll fight for the best interests of the nation and its citizens, and will get positive results.as a result of serving in the white house for the eight years 1992-2000, when her husband was president, she has gained many Allie connections with leaders in foreign countries, and would thus be able to achieve deals that favor the U.S.
Each candidate like anything else, have flaws, and downsides, that voters could use as reasons to not elect he or she as the next leader of the free world.
the downside of senator Mccain, is his age, he's 70 years old, and as medical research has shown as people get over age 35, their mental and physical abilities deteriorate, also he's made comments that indicate, if he were elected he'd keep the troops in Iraq, where everyday they are killed.
Green Party candidate Ralph Nadres limitations are that no one really knows about his policies and ideologies.
Barack O'Bama's drawbacks include his ties controversial Reverend Jeremiah Wright, who has made anti American , racist comments, that could very well start race riots, this is important because, people are known for the company they keep, O'Bama's other limitation is his lack of experience, the presidency like any other job, requires someone with job experience, and he doesn't have much, he's only been Illinois senator for 1 year.
Hillary Clintons limitations, are that she's. the wife of a former president, and, voters could hold her accountable for his actions as president, good or bad.
