A few things I need to say about my party's new presidential candidate.
First, he's ambitious, he is somebody that I had supported for a while, before he even started to run for president. Maybe it was his charisma, maybe I fell for every word that man said. But I also fell for Hilary's experience kick. Yeah. I, my friends, am the typical American. Confused and falling for everything.
I haven't fell for the "O dear Lord, he's Muslim and his middle name is Hussein, only meaning that he is a terrorist!!" Okay, guys. Seriously. That is possibly the most closed minded, ridiculous thing I have ever heard, I have heard it come from my own parents' mouths. Study Islam, get a clue, guys. They have extremists like every religion, but that is only 1% of the Islamic population.
Now, the cons of Obama? Well, maybe he isn't ready to get us out of the crisis that Bush put this country in. I really did sit down and think about this whole experience thing and I figured that maybe Obama would be a great president four years after someone else cleans this place up. I love Obama, but we really are in a bind. Can he fix the economy, fix Iraq, and fix the numerous issues that have been ignored by presidents before him? I find him to be idealistic and skewed with blind optimism. Prove me wrong, Barack.
The pros-He is determined. He's got soul. He cares. And the word Change is now a coined Obama word. I think he is going to take time to fix social issues within the US. There are still race problems, if you don't believe it, you are naive. We still have the white supremacists and the tension between various races. When you are white dating someone black and are getting stared at still in todays society, you know we still have a problem.
Needless to say, anyone will be better than Bush...well, except for Huckabee. But I hope that Obama isn't coming in at the wrong time. I look at it like this, every politician has a flaw, but some they have something that overrides that flaw, and Obama is going to show us what that is.
