I'd like to think of the 2008 Presidential Election as one of the largest events in American politics. And, truthfully, it really is. I give each party their credit. Barack Obama as the first African-American to run for President. Kudos. Same goes for John McCain, the veteran POW. 

However, when I take a step back from any political bias that I may have, or that the media portrays, it all seems much larger than the election itself. As I stated in a previous post, whomever wins the election will face the same set of predicaments, ultimately. The most important of those issues being national security. Period. I cannot find one human being, black, white, yellow, green, blue, Democrat, Republican, Libertarian, certified-Hippie, that won't tell you that the number one goal of the national government is to protect its citizens from foreign enemies. 

Thus, I digress to mention that the mastermind of all global terrorism, Osama Bin Laden, is still alive. He is still operating. He is still functioning. He is still scheming. The objective? To see to it the demise of every member of western civilization. Particularly the U.S. 

That's why it's hard for me to get too intrenched in political mudslinging. Because the fact is, no matter who comes out ahead in the election, the American people will have to band together to support one-another as the country takes on global terrorism. 

I post all of this on a day where ordinary people became extraordinary heroes a mere seven years earlier. None of it hits you until you see Ground Zero for yourself. 

So, Senator McCain....Senator Obama. When all this is said and done, let's do this and (with blatant disregard for cliches) "let's roll."
