The Race To The White House...

I'm not one of those bloggers that keeps my eye on the news channels 24/7 in order to stay up-to-date on the latest political news, but I realize I am watching the Fox News channel far more than I ever have - probably in my entire life, unfortunately. And I don't know the exact statement given by both senators about economic issues that are threatening our financial security. Only thing I really care about is that our next president will be more attentive to our problems and will generally do a much better job than our president now.

But one of the reasons why I'm sittin here blogging now is because I was watching this video clip on Youtube. Matter fact, I'll go head and post it here.



I watch this and I wonder, "Do McCain's supporters actually support him because they think he's gonna bail us out of the shit we found ourselves in, or do they support him only because his opponent is 'Arab'"? When you see an Obama rally, you see him going through the mistakes our former president made while outlining his own plan to ensure balance in our economy, by helping the middle class pay their bills by lowering taxes - while also keeping a close eye on those making an ungodly amount of money so they don't go spending about $400k on spa treatments and whatnot. Obama is focusing on the economic issues. McCain and the media is focusing on Obama's past affiliations. He's guilty by association. He's the guy riding with his friend who's carrying a pistol, and when they get pulled over, he goes to jail with the gunslinger - even when he has no knowledge of his friend carrying the gun. That's what I think.

And that clip up there is proof that America is still rooted in racism. That lady up there - does she think all Arabs are terrorists? Does she think Obama has links to Al Qaeda because his name is Arab? Am I unpatriotic because I made that statement? No! It's rediculous to think that this presidential campaign has to heavily rely on ignorance instead of the actual economic issues we're facing today. Because we're in some deep shit. Excuse my French.

John McCain: when he's rallying the crowd, he mainly just says things his supporters wanna hear, and that's what you're supposed to do at a rally, but his tactic so far has been to put down his opponent while he talks about how he's a veteran and that he's gonna stand up and fight. Yeah, whatever. He can't even multi-task, and it showed that day he was about to cancel the presidential debate to fly to Washington to stand around and scratch his ass while "congressional leaders" formulated the rescue bill that wasn't even passed the first time.

Barack Obama: I heard some state or whatever misspelled his name on the ballot, putting his name as "Osama" instead of "Obama". What the hell? "S" is not even on the same line as "B", you know? Even the media - and I'm talkin bout Fox News - is mainly bashing him for his past with ACORN and Bill Ayers. But all that stuff with them happened almost a decade ago, even though the media is saying they haven't heard a real plan from Obama, hell, even John McCain said "...He's telegraphing his punches" when he gave his standpoint about foreign policy or whatever during the debate. You know, the feeling I had about these two candidates months ago was that Obama drew up plans that would better our economy in the short-term as well as the long term, while McCain is only making plans for the short-term, conveniently while he's in office (presuming he gets elected), so the next president in '12 can clean up his mess when he leaves.

Now, I know that maybe some of my readers are supporting the McCain campaign, maybe because you think he has more experience than Obama, or you think his way of thinking would bring our economy in "good standing". And that's fine. But I hope you supporters are not out there cursing Barack Obama's name because he doesn't look like our former presidents. Lets focus on the issues at hand, people.

I think that if America was less concerned with skin color and the fact that Obama's name is less American than we'd like and more concerned with how our next president is going to handle this economic downturn, I think more people would appreciate having an upright candidate be elected president instead of a snickering one that addresses his racist followers as "My Friends".
