As I sat watching the election last week, I just knew Obama was going to win the seat. I had watched the campaign for so long and listened to each side and what they would do if elected. Of course I know they are both politicians and what they promise does not always happen once elected, but I did listen to both sides.
I was not impressed with McCain's side and the things they said about the other side. Low is how I would categorize the comments made. I was appalled the day before the election when I turned on the news and there standing in front of the world, a man I didn't recognize. It was Palins father standing at the podium stating,"I taught her how to field dress a moose, and tomorrow you will see her field dress a donkey". How could anyone with any culture at all say those things on national television? Where did they find this moron?
There were many reasons I do believe that the Republicans didn't win and here are my top three:
1. Palin and not wanting her to end up being vice president, she is a twit!
2.Spending so much money on her clothes when the Country is in a recession didn't settle well with many Americans.
3. McCain's age
Obama on the other hand, didn't stoop this low and I don't believe he ever said anything that wasn't true about their side. He was always up front, honest and caring about what is going on in the world. I do believe the best man won as do most Americans.
It is time for a change, and I honestly believe we are in for that in so many ways. Watching the people of our Country stand and cry as they saw who they wanted to win, win. I sat with tears flowing as I saw the faces of whites, Blacks, Hispanics, Africans, the world and its many colors has become one union.
The morning after the election I was listening to the radio on my commute to work and could not believe what some were saying. Crying cause the republican didn't win. Saying things like Obama is a Muslim, a terrorist. How uncultured can these people get? All you have to do is listen and know these things are untrue!
In the end I guess it is true what they say about it only taking one bad apple to spoil the entire basket, and some Americans really need to watch, look and listen to see the truth not spoil the basket for all of us.
