The year 2008 seemed so far out of reach to me since I never thought I would even see the year 2000. Nonetheless talking about the election of a new President and even the fact we might have a woman in the White House. That seems to be more of a TV fiction show than a reality.
All the negative campaigning seems to come from one side that I can see. Most of Obama's campaigning is in rebuttal to McCain's negative campaigning. It is funny how McCain's people cannot even use original material but have to still from Obama or from someone on his team.
I guess negative campaigning has its use by leaking things to the media you can stop things from happening. I find it rather funny that McCain is even trying to focus on what Obama says at all and is not man enough to come up with his own material for his campaign.
His running mate has done nothing but shown what most women do best. Talk about people like they are dogs and treat others like they do not count. These are my words and that ward rob please. $75,000.00 talk about negative. where is the economics in that?
Yet here we are faced with one of the most negative campaigns in the history of the United States. Who will be best for our office to fight for the freedom of the red white and blue?
Your guess is as good as mine to be honest. However, I cannot see another four year of Republicans in office after the mess that not only Bush has done in the eight years he has been in, but the time the governor in California has done as well.
Most states are facing money problems as well as our country. One of the reason is Big Business had to leave the country and start importing their goods so that they could make bigger profits. How many of these are paying for our people to be trained in jobs that do not require BA or MA?
When you really think about your choices you feel like you have no choice at all. One has very little experience abroad the other thinks he is mister all that. My personal opinion is that I would rather have someone that little experience abroad because then maybe he would be interested in taking care of the problems at home first than those in other counties.
I know that we need to deal with the threat on the United States. It is real but it has always been real. We have always been faced with threats on the United States since our forefathers came here. They fought for our freedom and we will continue to fight for our freedom.
Be it McCain or Obama that gets into office in November. It will be a transition for whoever takes over. If McCain thinks it will be a walk in a park he better do some more homework because he is facing one of the roughest things that any President in our nation has ever faced before and the worse has not come yet. Obama is aware of that and sees what is happening, it is time McCain opens his eyes to see it as well.
