It is 1:57 PM on November 4, 2008. All of America is buzzing with the anticipation and excitement for one of the most influential elections in American history so far. This presidential campaign has been a memorable one on many levels. Be it the first black presidential candidate, or the choice of Sarah Palin as a Vice-President. This campaign has been one of the dirtier ones to my memory, especially on the McCain side. What with Barack Obama being accused of being a Muslim terrorist by McCain supporters, one wonders if you can even trust such an administration.
Colin Powell in his support of Barack Obama spoke a great quote on the subject; “Well, the correct answer is he is not a Muslim. He's a Christian; has always been a Christian. But the really right answer is, "What if he is? Is there something wrong with being a Muslim in this country?" The answer's "No, that's not America." Is there something wrong with some seven-year-old Muslim American kid believing that he or she could be President?” – Colin Powell. It is these kinds of things that make me fear a McCain administration. I don’t support Barack Obama because he’s a “nice guy” or because I could “see him as president”, I support Barack Obama because he shares my ideas and views that this country needs in order to pull us out of the hole left by the 8-year Bush administration. Obama ‘08
