Since you cant do anything or go anywhere now days with out hearing about the presidential race, I thought I would drop a few lines and see what you guys thought.
Is the country ready for a female president? Or better yet are we ready for a black one? Wow, who would a thought we would be discussing that? Anyway honestly they both kind of scare me, but that don't mean I'm voting for McCain... lol
But anyway whats up with Hilary? Man I feel like she spending more time digging dirt and attacking Obama than on working on getting into office, and whats up with how she supposedly "misspoke" about her past trip to Bosnia and being under heavy gunfire .... Thats just hilarious.
and Obama... don't get me wrong dude is pretty sharp and seems pretty intelligent, but the one thing that stands out to me and most people is his middle name .... Hussein!?! I mean I know not all Muslims are terrorist but after 911 come on ... Is dude a Muslim or not? he claims to be a devout Christian and has even publicly spoken about "his relationship with Jesus"... now I'm not saying he is, and I ain't sayin he's not, and i know the rumors that are going around are more than likely just that.. "Rumors", and pure speculation... but the name has got to raise some brows... and another thing I find interesting as black male myself is how the black community is so quick to stand behind him. You heard that song by Will I Am and other various artist ? .. "Yes we can" ... Have they all done their research on the guy before putting something out there thats forever like a song? or are they just promoting him because he's black? Now again I'm not bashing or saying don't vote for him ... These are just thoughts.... Think about it.
Where do you stand?

...I am sad to say for the first time since I have been legal, I may not be voting in the current election. But I look at my own life, and it has been a long time since I have heard one candidate talk about my life. Yes, I am a woman who needs to have a chance and rights written down and enforced. Truth, it is a man's world. Yes, I believe gays should share in the wealth of taxes- they are living married anyway. Yes, my credit debt is outrageous. But why are they more concerned with bailing out the banks instead of the American public. Send me a check, great. Reduce my interest to 0% for a year- that impresses me. Yes, I want to feel safe in my own land. War is not caring about the little guy, it is about fundamentalism versus fundamentalism. And there is a price tag- and something tells me it is coming in the price of oil. Yes, I want affordable health care. Should we, the people, permit one of the "wealthiest nations" to put a profit on our dying children, parents, and selves? I believe they should get paid for what they do, but my God, when is enough and why do people have to have life's turned upside down for needing medical care. There should be no choices here and it should be worked out. There are many answers to "affordable health care." We could come up with something to make everyone- except insurances- happy. Yes, I want everyone here legally, but I do not think making the process impossible is the answer. My husband is Venezuelan. Has never been to America. My process of being legal there is much quicker than the US and I have to say I am embarrassed. I remember September 11th. I understand the changes, but I am America's daughter. I have paid my taxes, born in Ohio, and have stood for everything America is. Sometimes I am disappointed in us, we the people. But I have never forgotten we are the best country. We have something special and we do not appreciate it.
...So I am sad to say, that woman or black I was once again disappointed by my party. I like Hilary. But she is not Bill. And I am not going to lie, I wanted her so I can get Bill back. He's a little aggressive and I believe he would have helped her more than she helped him. And I lived well with Bill. I dare people to think back 9 or 10 years ago and tell me you are feeling much better today- your personal fiascoes aside. I can say for me, my pockets were fatter then. But now she is not an option and we have McCain and Obama. Truth, where is the big mama? Is it possible that Mother Nature is changing our planet because of our over consumptions? Maybe we as a people need our grandmother to snatch our ass with the branch as we go running past screaming, "I am sorry, I knew it was wrong." I never underestimated the rate of velocity of an angry old woman. And the more country or street she was the better the whooping. Yes I think that is what we need and I do not see that happening. Politics is about who they sold their soul to to be President. And I am all for change, but I want to cry because we are about to have change (GO OBAMA!!!!), yet, we have absolutely changed nothing.
