Election And Economy

The most important subjects in US these days are economy and election. There is no secret that Bush messed up really bad, even republicans are mad at him too!
Any way the election is close and I cannot believe that there are more than 45% people who want to vote for McCain. I believe if someone has an average IQ should realize that McCain is another version of Bush. He is not going to do any better and he is too old for this position any way! I don’t want to even talk about his selected vice president which is another disaster!!!!
I have been watching all the debates so far and following all the election campaigns’ news so far, it is very obvious to me that Obama is a smarter person with better plans and he is clear about what he wants to do. I believe lots of these people who want to vote for McCain have racial issues. They don’t want to vote for Obama because he is half black and his father was a Muslim.
I have a co-worker that is personally a nice person and is very smart but he is republican and wants to vote for McCain , when I asked him what don’t you like about Obama he could not answer clearly and said I think he will push the country towards socialism and then communism!!!!! I said if he wants everyone to have a basic health care is that too bad? Do you know what is socialism is about? It is about a more comfortable and affordable life for middle class and lower class. What is bad about it?? I said do you know how many people end up becoming homeless when they lose their job because there is no support from government? Do you like your family not having health care if you lose your job?
Unfortunately at least half of American people (and majority of people in the world!!) are so shallow and just repeat what they hear from politicians of their party. They don’t think, they don’t read news of the world! Today my coworker was saying again that Iraq war was a good decision and it was good for Iraqis too!!!!! I said do you know how many Iraqis are killed in this war and how many kids are orphan because of this war? Do you think US has right to go anywhere that decides and cause all that problem?? I said Iraq is in a lot worse situation than when Sadam was there!! He said are you sure ? I said go read news from Iraq and Iraqis blog to know what is going on there!!!
I think I have to keep my mouth shut!! If someone does not want to get it, he won’t get it any way.
I wish we all (human beings) would be more thoughtful and would not think that is all about us not others!
I will vote for Obama and I pray for him to win. That would be a great lesson for all that red neck racist people too!!!!!

Dear Ocean,
I like your thought you wrote down. Maybe your attitude to your collegue is a little bit hard for him (or a she?) But for me you're right! Maybe it is the election fever of these days (bad (world) economy, even worse investing climate and the worst Wall Street since the 1930's, crises in health- and schoolcare, employment) which makes the US more socialble about politics. As you said you never followed election campaing's news so far. It is noticable on Dutch television. Our reporters say the citizen are more attracted to the campaign than in other elections. This might be Bush's punishment for the things he didn't do in 8 long years.
I hope for you and the rest of the world that the US will choose right Obama.

Take care and don't be too hard on your husband. :-)

Thanks Ocean for your comment on my post to be political. I certainly use your advice in my assessment next wednesday (now it's saturday).

It's true that the Government in Holland and else where in Europe guarantuee savings and cashdisposals on European registrated banks.
It's to a maximum of € 100,0000.= per bank to restore confidence in the bankingsector.

take care,
Jan
