For little kids, Halloween may be the most-awaited holiday with it's promise of delicious goodies with the insurance of cavities, but for the nation is this Halloween a trick or a treat? The ball of power will soon be dropped into the hands of a new man; however, whoever the candidate may be whether he will have a good effect on our nation as a whole has yet to be seen. With the day of reckoning approaching, both candidates are striving to prove harder than ever that they are the "right man" for the job of President of the United States.
Like sucking on an unexpected lemon drop in your bag of treats, there is a aura of uncertainty that surrounds both Obama and McCain campaign.
Obama has a very questionable background. There's the possibility he could be a Marxist (he was taught law by Marxist professors), which strangely enough has yet to pop up in the mainstream media. In 2004, he adamantly stated that he had no plans of running for the presidency. Oh, and he may sweet talk his way out his church scandal, but he attended a blatantly racist church for years led by Reverend Jerimiah Wright. Quite frankly, Rev. Wright has frightening ambitions which make me uneasy. I know...I watched his interviews. Not to mention, Obama's own vice presidential candidate said himself that Obama as President in the midst of a foreign crisis would be horrendous for the nation.
Now moving on to McCain. My main problem with John McCain is his flip flopping on issues of national importance. My concerns lie with the fact that he is no longer the same McCain who fought on issues not because he was appealing to public favor, but that he was genuinely focused on what is best for the public interest. He wants the vote, but he's changed his personality and goals from what that were four years ago.
I don't know about you, but contemplating this upcoming election gives me a queasy stomach. Maybe it's the spoiled candy that we, as a nation, will soon be consuming?
