I guess I might as well jump in on the bandwagon. Everyone from Tokyo to London, to Africa and from all places that can be reached by the Internet and all forms of media are contributing their two cents worth on the race that is the American Presidential Elections. While Waray in the City maybe thousands of miles away from the center of all the action in Uncle Sam's country, she is well aware that the decisions of whoever gets to sit in that house on Pennsylvania Avenue is sure to affect her dear old Philippines and the rest of the world for that matter. So in the midst of trying to compose a post about a recent trip down Samar country, let me get political and tell you why I 'm for Barack Obama.
Obama is young, he's dynamic and he represents change from the Bush-conomics and war policies that has contributed to America's financial crisis. John McCain is a chip off the old Republican block and not only does he look like the Bush father-and-son tandem but he is sure to to follow their views despite claims to the contrary. Obama may be black (really, just half-Black), however, that does not dictate how well he shall serve as president. Really, I thought we were way past this "color" thing, yet his skin tone remains to be one of the hottest issues raised against him. I've seen him talk and I've seen his record and both are telling me to bet on his horses. Now, let's see if the majority of Americans think the same way. Answers on November 5 or 6. Unlike here, results are immediate and does not last until the next century.
Obama is really fighting/campaining hard in these mid-term elections. Despite the low polls I believe the Democratic Party will prevail. He has prevented the total economic collapse and has initiated health care reform.
