Peace of Mind for an Entire Nation!

I am relieved and happy to have witnessed one of the most historic moments in American history. Barack Hussien Obama is the President of the United States. Obama has won with an astounding 338 electoral votes. 

As I sat, eyes glued to my television set, I watched the finalizing moments that made Obama the official President of the United States. That was when John McCain walked on stage in Arizona to deliver his concession speech. 

McCain’s best speech of his entire campaign was his speech tonight (he had a damn good speech writer). The crowd booed Obama’s name, and yelled such statements as “You’re a better man”, and “We Love You” and McCain sincerely carried on with his speech. For the majority of the speech, John McCain didn’t have that foolish grin glued to his face, he didn’t giggle under his breathe, he didn’t stumble and not once did he say “my friends”.

 Of course nearing the end of the speech the crowd cheered “We want John” and McCain was back to making that hellish grin, and calling the crowd his friends. He babbled on about race and it all went down hill from there. But I’m impressed with John McCain and how honest, and respectable his concession speech truly was.

I thought McCain might have walked up on that stage and start pointing out flaws in Obama’s campaign. I thought he might have babbled  on about how he did such a great job in his own campaign. I thought for sure he would pull out the ol’ Prisoner Of War card, but he didn’t. For the most part McCain delivered an honest and proper speech, without any fumbles and rambling, unfortunately it was his last speech.  

Not that a young guy from Canada’s thoughts really matter, but I wish John McCain the best in his future. He fought long and hard and not once did he give up. Indeed, he had his flaws, and he made several mistakes along the long road to tonight, but for that I give him props. 

A historic night indeed; a night so historic that it left tears in Jesse Jackson’s eyes. 

There is hope for this world, and there is room for change. I can rest my head tonight with peace of mind. Only problem now is, I have nothing to write about in this damn blog. Well Good night America, and Good night world; tomorrow is a new day.

The Soap Opera that is the Presidential Election

Almost a year ago I wrote a blog regarding the presidential candidates. Admittedly I knew very little on the subject, and I still don’t know a whole lot but I’m back on the subject matter. With such a cluster-fuck how can you avoid the topic?

So lets get the basics down first; we had Hillary Clinton – potential first female president – who ran for the Democratic presidential nomination. She got beat out by Barack Obama – potential first black/white/muslim/terrorist/afghan monkey president – who is now running against John McCain – potential oldest president – in the race to the White House. 

Barack Obama is running his whole campaign on ‘Change’ and it’s about time a presidential candidate is open to new ideas and logical thinking. Obama has major potential and is the exact candidate that the United States needs, but the question is: can the United States handle a drastic change? Are they open-minded enough to welcome this change? 

Obama should be the next president. I’m not physic but I can almost garauntee that America will panic within the last minute and they’ll end up voting John McCain into the White House. If Obama were to make it into the White House there is a likelihood that he would be assassinated by a group of “Obama haters”. If, God forbid, Obama were to be assassinated at least his Vise President Joe Biden has some experience and could do a good job. 

In God We Trust? God forbid there be change.

That would leave us with old Prisoner Of War McCain. He’s running his campaign on ‘Country First’ which isn’t exactly accurate considering McCain has made it this far in life by putting himself first. He prides himself in spending five years as a P.O.W in Vietnam, but the truth is the only reason why the Veitnamese kept him alive is because he spilt the beans.

McCain was born into a privileged life. His Grandfather earned four stars commanding the U.S. force during WWII, and his father reached the same rank commanding the American forces in Vietnam. The McCain we know and love now was known for his short fuse, drinking problem, and crashing planes (not in combat). 

This is the man that will most likely be the next President of the United States. He’ll probably end up croaking within the first year anyway putting Sarah Palin in charge. If we were to have the first female president I’d personally much rather have Hillary Clinton. 

Throw Karl Rove into the mix, a market crash, some mainstream media, a pinch of  Jon Steward and Stephen Colbert, add some Obama comparisons to Paris Hilton and Britney Spears and toss it altogether. Whatta got? The 2008 Presidential Election.
