As most extremely intuitive Americans are aware there is a Presidential race going on & it is quite the race indeed.
First off, I would like to say that I do not declare a Republican/Democrat. Because I feel in some ways I am more liberal than rightest. Now, with that said I feel I lean more toward the left. Therefore, I am looking at the Democratic candidates.
Mrs. Hillary Clinton & Mr. Barack Obama.
Not a fan of Hillary Clinton at all, unfortunately. Initially, when I found out that she was running I was extremely delighted because she is a female, representing the females, it was refreshing. But, when I saw her views on certain issues I discovered that I don't agree with her, A LOT! Then, there are the attacks which I feel are completely unwarranted. Why does she keep attacking Barack Obama? It is getting a little excessive. I mean can't the woman simply worry about her own issues and her OWN campaign without trying to take someone down in the process. In my opinion, it is extremely unnecessary and because of the attacks that she consistently puts towards Barack Obama's campaign, it has actually made me lose hope in her & her ability to be the President of the United States.
Now, Barack Obama (might I say that he is an attractive individual). But, I wanted to look beyond his race, yes he is a bi-racial man (black & white). I wanted to look beyond that and see what the substance of his issues are in his campaign. And quite frankly, I agree with MOST of his beliefs, not all, but most.
I do have a couple of things about Barack Obama, I do have to admit that I think it's admirable that he is not attacking Hillary Clinton back, quite as much as she is toward him. But, it is a bit discerning that he really isn't doing much to retaliate against her. But, oh well, I'm not his campaign manager.
And also, the Pastor that has been well in the media in the last couple of months. I believe that the media is completely blowing this Pastor situation out of proportion and it is a shame. Because instead of worrying about the issues that Barack Obama stands for, all American media seems to be consumed with his Pastor and his EXTREME ways of thinking. I believe that this Pastor is milking his 15 minutes and he just needs to ride off in the sunset, never to be heard from again. I say this simply because he is taking away the shine from Mr. Barack Obama.
I must admit that this Democrat Presidential race is history in the making and I am loving every moment that is unfolding. I feel so excited to be apart of this, an American, who is contributing to possibly see who becomes the next President of the United States. It's extremely liberating.
We shall see later this year who wins ... never know ... it's anyone's race really ....
Just one thing before I end, if by some miracle Mrs. Hillary Clinton does become the official Democrat Presidential Candidate, I would completely vote for her because I would DEFINITELY not want Mr. John McCain (yet another Republican) to be the President of the United States.
