After watching the debate last night and reading some very ignorant comments that people are making about it, I decided that I need to post a short little synopsis of what I think. I might be stepping on someone’s toes, but I think that this is very important. The direction this country is moving worries me greatly.
I just would like to say that Obama is NOT Jesus, he is NOT the savior of this country (as I have read several people write). Now, I personally am not a huge John McCain fan; however, I do not want to see this country run further into the ground even more so that it already is. Last night during that debate, Obama proved to me that he will do that. It is facinating to me how he could talk in circles, never really say anything, and people still think gold coins are popping out of his mouth. Barack Obama contradicted himself several times last night, and never really gave a good answer. The answers that he did manage to give, scared me a little bit. The problem with Obama is he doesn’t really say what he means, you have got to read between the lines of his “pretty” words. What I heard last night is that under his government, the economy WILL get worse before it gets better (despite his denial to the contrary). Barack Obama reminds me a lot of JFK. Kennedy was a young, good looking guy, a junior senator with not a whole lot of experience (actually he had more than Obama) and he ran against a older man who was not quite as eloquent as he (actually Nixon was a pretty decent speaker). People voted for JFK because they thought they wanted “change”. I’m going to give you a short little history lesson here: most people think that JFK was a great president NOT TRUE. People remember him because he was killed, but when you look at what he did before he was shot, he was nearly the ruin of this country. LBJ had to fix what JFK has screwed up, and he didn’t even do the best job. People, just look at history, if Obama wins this election, there’s a really good chance the same kind of thing is going to happen. I loved the quote that McCain said last night: “My hero is a man named Teddy Roosevelt. He used to say, ‘Talk softly and carry a big stick.” Senator Obama speaks very loudly.” How true! I am not saying McCain is the perfect choice as president; I didn’t agree with everything he said last night either. However, McCain obviously understands some of the basic principles of economics and politics, Obama did not seem to. Now, its true, McCain probably could have backed off on some of the side comments; but that is merely just a professional courtesy, as I was making some of those same comments myself.
And while we are on that subject: I would also like to point out that George Busch, whether you love him or hate him, is NOT under any circumstances unintelligent. Rather, he is a perfect example of how a person is judged on their speech. He is not the most eloquent of men and speaks like a Texan. Heck, as a Southerner myself, I speak very similarly to G. Busch, and I am a senior college student with a high GPA. Ignorance comes from both sides of every argument, and it is not fair judge someone because of the way they say “nucluar”. Regardless of what you think about him, George Busch is still the president of this country and deserves to be disagreed with because that is our conistutional right, but he also deserves to be respected as the leader of your nation. What right do we have as a nation to bash our leader? It lowers the opnions of other nations of us as a people. Why in the world should they respect us as a nation if we cannot even treat our own leader with dignity? That is the real reason that so many other countries hate us.
So, here is the real plea I have with the United States right now: please use the brain that God gave and think about what is being said, not just the way someone is saying it. Research for yourself before making a judgement and heaven forgive that you judge someone based on the prettiness of their speech: and that goes for Obama, Bush, and McCain. Don’t be stupid, don’t trust what the media tells you, think for yourself. Don’t be influenced by others; stand your ground! Try to eliminate ignorance on both sides of every issue.
