Like the morning after a destructive hurricane, it's hard to believe that it's over. The campaigning, mud-slinging, and debates..it's all finished! Well, as far as the 2008 Presidential election is concerned. Definitely, has been the most involved I've ever been with an election. Not only have I further grasped the importance of exercising the right to vote, but I'm all the more grateful that I have that privilege, unlike other countries. Regarding the outcome of the presidential election, there's not much else to say except that the citizens of the United States have spoken. Their voices have been heard, and the majority have been answered. Albeit, I was not in that particular majority. My vote was cast for John McCain.

Contrary to what you might think, I didn't give him my support because he was a Republican or Caucasian. I honestly don't give a crap about either. I like the idea of breaking history by having an African American man president. Truth be told, I am a Democrat (shocked I'm sure). I'm not a staunch Liberal, but most of my beliefs side more with the left side. I was for McCain because his policies were by far the best. McCain may not be a charmer or an amazing public speaker, he's not even much too look at, but he did know what was best for this country. Whether you realize it or not, the United States of America is at a critical point. We are in a war overseas, our economy is quickly diminishing, and we've got foreign leaders/dictators breathing down our necks. If these problems weren't present, I would have more than likely voted for Obama; however, McCain is man who most assuredly was the man fit for the job. Obama's VP has even admitted his fear of Obama in the presidency during a major foreign crisis. Also, he sprouts unrealistic ideals left and right. For instance, how are we going to have a tax cut, when 40% of America does not pay their taxes. Logically speaking it's impossible. My greatest fear however is that Obama will not be able to hold face against the cold, calculating foreign leaders who would rather see America burn than live on in prosperity. Politics is a nasty business for a reason. Even after all this evidence, America sought to prioritized making history over what this country actually needs. There's nothing else to say, except we have written and signed our own personal checks for destruction.
