mccain is my man

WE NEED A HERO!!!

54 more days to the us presidential election and i have already put my money on mccain to be the next president of the united states. let me tell you why:

1. after 8 long years of poor governing by the bush's administration, america is in need of some serious changes in the way its government operates. i do not think capability is the most important attribute of a good president but character. this man is a war hero, did his duties for his country by serving in the vietnam war, he was a prisoner of war which resisted an early release, and most of all he is a maverick and is not afraid to take risk which is obvious in his choice of sarah palin. yes he is old but he is mature. yes he is not a good orator but he is a man of action. yes he might not be the most competent man but at least he knows that and will rely on more knowledgeable advisers. and yes america needs a hero and yes america needs mccain!

2. although it is not politically correct to say this and the americans are probably too shy to point it out, i personally do not think america is ready for a black man to be the president yet. the americans might not be prejudiced against a black man but to have one as the president might not sit well with many. so we will probably witness a white female woman vice president first before a black president.

3. there are many who think palin, an unknown nobody, is too young and inexperienced with global affairs. (look what bush has achieved despite his priviledged upbringing and exposure to foreign affairs). i think she is perfect; she is a plain jane, mother of five, hockey mommy, working middle-class like so many other women in the us. she has proven to be a tough politician who knows her math and can balance a budget, a quality much needed by the us government. she will be a good complement to mccain. and most importantly, the other half of the democrats that voted for hillary has another option open to them now. a good calculated and risky move by mccain which has served him well based on the latest poll.

by now, i think most of the americans have decided which candidate to vote for. the rest of the campaigns are not important because we all know that politicians usually do not keep to their campaign promises after they are elected and they will not tell you enough about their policies to be useful in your evaluation of their effectiveness. so just based on the 3 points mentioned, i think the choice is clear.
