It’s been interesting to watch the ongoing push for power with the Presidential election candidates. It is all out war when it comes to election time and they will do just about anything to get a vote.
Now that Clinton has conceded defeat to Obama, she is endorsing him as the next President of the United States of America. Good for you Hilary, at least you know when to call it quits and read the writing on the wall. Although some would say that the writing was on the wall a long time ago and why does she still continue to ask for contributions? Good question: Hilary any thoughts on that?
Unfortunately, her would be supporters still insist on giving her the vote. For some people (and I mean women), the idea of having a woman for President is far more important and appealing than who the right person for the job is.
Instead, Barack Obama seemingly came out of nowhere: he shot from obscurity to political stardom with his message of national unity; has relatively little experience in politics (compared to some of his other candidates); and although born in Hawaii, was raised overseas in Indonesia. He was different right from the start.
Obama emphasizes, among other things, the withdrawing of American troops from Iraq, energy independence, decreasing the influence of lobbyists, and promoting universal health care as his top national priorities. He is a visionary and I am curious to see where and how far he takes things.
No doubt, his non-supporters will, in time, accuse him of conspiring with other countries, of selling out America, of not being patriotic, of being the Anti-Christ and being a Muslim (because his grandfather was a Muslim), to name just a few. However, all such deep fears about global conspiracies will eventually run dry.
From the beginning, Obama was different. He spoke differently and he had a completely different way of reaching the people. While other candidates harped on their personal experience (or their husband’s) in the White House, with old energy ideas and the stability and security of the ‘old ways’, in contrast, Obama portrayed himself as someone who can unite people despite racial and political differences. He is a man who comes across very confidently, who is not afraid to break boundaries, has immense character and a man with new visions for the future.
I loved Obama’s response on the David Letterman Show when asked about Vice-Presidency, he said:
“You don’t run for second, I don’t believe in that.”
One of Obama’s slogans is ‘Organize For Change’ and I believe that he will do just that: change not only his country but also make a significant global adjustment around the world.
