The fate of our country depends on each of us to vote for the 44th president of the United States of America on or before 11/4/2008. We are choosing a man who will become the president and caretaker of our nation.
The 44th President will inherit a myriad of complicated domestic and economic crises, and complex foreign affairs that are left unresolved by the current administration.
Our country must move forward with a new and inspiring leadership. We need to elect a president who will guide our battered nation forward with solutions on domestic and economic problems and provides a different direction for our foreign policies.
Each of us needs to gauge the presidential candidate’s temperament coupled with the muscular intellect to grasp the nuanced international affairs, complex domestic economic and energy problems, health care, educational programs, and medical research policies.
Can each of us set aside personal bias and angst long enough to think about our lives, our children and families, and the state of our nation and vote for a president whom I believe will do whatever it takes to lead our nation toward a better future? Senator Barack Obama is that man. He has consistently demonstrated that he has the temperament and the intellect to grapple with nuanced foreign policies, domestic concerns, and economic problems of our country. Senator Obama wants to fix the problems that are plaguing the American people: labor, economic crises, foreign policies, our financial woes, and the lack of national health care insurance, to name a few.
In stark contrast, Senator McCain is erratic and impetuous - his melodramatic cancellation of campaign, off-then-on again debate, calling for the sacking of the Securities Exchange Commission Chairman not knowing that not even the President of the US can sack the SEC chairman; impulsive – his selection of an unqualified and un-vetted VP whose national and international perspectives are non-existent, but she is nevertheless, an accomplished liar; egoistical - Senator McCain accuses the “elite media” of trying to trip up Palin whenever any journalist asks Palin any question that she didn’t know - and there are many unanswered questions. After all, she is running for a US vice presidential seat, not a kindergarten school board seat.
Senator McCain’s legendary bad temper and his aggressive foreign policy positions make a lethal combination for our nation. Remarkably, he refuses to consider talking with Iran even when the current administration is engaging in diplomatic overtures. Sadly, these are merely some of Senator McCain’s less than stellar qualities as a person.
Senator McCain is a desperate man whose life’s obsession is the seat of the United States presidency, as indicative by his judgment or continual lack of it. He continues to undermine the intelligence and common sense of the voters with his exaggerations, obfuscations, and when all else fails, blame Senator Obama and the media. In Senator McCain’s world, country and citizens be damned. He will be far, far worse than the current administration.
Do you want to vote for this kind of man to lead our nation? I know with absolute certainty that I do not want someone who is prone to melodramas and Kabuki dances instead of providing solutions to our national and international problems.
I want a president who still believes in working for the American public as he reassures us with solutions and leads our country in the right direction.
I think you will agree with me that Senator Barack Obama is the right man to be our president in this challenging time of our nation. We need a president who can inspire our nation and engender trust among our allies. We need a president who is measured, thoughtful, and forthright in handling complex foreign policies, economic crises and financial concerns, and domestic issues.
I urge you to set aside your angst and vote for the good of our country by selecting Senators Barack Obama and Joe Biden to be our president and vice president.
