After watching the CNN Projection for four hours, I didn’t care who won the Iowa caucuses — Obama won (of course with the majority by us younglings) and his speech was more driven compared to Hillary’s emotionless lecture and Huckabee’s transcendental sermon. Mitt wasted his money, period. All I know is that a bunch of delegates met and talked and then made their vote, which pushed two candidates to quit — first Chris and then Joe.
I see Obama as our next president this coming November 2008. He may be inexperienced but he may well be able to unite both the red and blue, Republicans and Democrats, whites and blacks and perhaps Christians and Muslims. This is neat ideal considering how much unity the United States as a nation could benefit after what happened with the Bill and George regimes.
If y’all remembered what happened, Bill had shut down the military hospitals, namely via the Veterans Administration. This meant countless military veterans had to find doctors in the private sector, only if they could afford the high cost of health care, which I believe is almost nothing to some who have problems with affordable housing too!
Then Bush comes along as the new president, produces a fear of terror and, lo and behold, a war between the US and Iraq continues to this day, where countless veterans cannot come home or if they do are left unaided by a government that can no longer afford to take care of its sick and injured — now mostly disabled veterans, too.
The 9/11 incident made matters much worse and unfair with the Islamic nation, by the way. So far I’ve not seen fool proof, evidence for these ‘weapons of mass destruction’, which is still a mystery to me. Furthermore, I wonder how Russia and China fit into this picture, not to mention our nation’s problems with immigration by bordering countries and outsourcing of domestic jobs.
So if the next president can stop this worldwide nonsense of dividing people among themselves and nations among each other, I wish him/her/it good luck. It’s going to be another full-time job and lots of hard work with many outmoded, diverse groups who cannot seem to get along with fresh, new ideas and all because of corporate greed.
