I agree with most Americans that are apprehensive about Barack Obama’s believed lack of experiences, solely based on the GOP’s assumptions and from the majority of right wing critics out there. But to make my point very clear, do we want to take a chance on a candidate that is perceived to have lack of experiences or do we want to take a chance on a candidate that is perceived to have ALL of the experiences but voted on alot of issues that agrees with the Bush Administration 90% of the time? Are we willing to take that 10% chance that this candidate will make a dramatic change from the previous administration’s horrendous 8 years? To clarify my point even further, Bush says to stay the course in the biggest mistake of the 21st century that we called,”The Iraq War”. Guess who else agrees to stay the course? You guessed it, it’s our very own John McCain. Bush pushed for offshore drilling over alternative renewable energy. You can now guess who else also agreed with this idea, right? If you guessed John McCain, you are on the right track and the list goes on and on. So my last question to all Americans out there is that, does McCain bring anything to the table that truly sets himself apart from Bush? If anyone out there can define something significant that even remotely sets McCain apart from Bush, then you are truly on to something because a lot of us have really missed it. So to end this on a good note for the rest of America to really think about, we are voting for the next candidate to take office not for a day, a week, a month, or even a year, we are responsible for our own actions to bring the next candidate into our everyday lives for the next 4 years. So for all Americans out there, would a candidate who is perceived to have lack of experiences but disagrees with a lot of the Bush Administration’s ideas be that bad for our country? Think about this one and think about it carefully.
