I listened to Senator Obama's speech yesterday. I thought it was a brilliant speech. But then again, I don't live in the US and I don't have to vote and so I can just like the speech for what it was.
That's like saying I like taking chapter tests in a textbook becasue the answers are in the back of the book. If you are wrong, you aren't graded for it, even though you are still learning and seeing what's wrong.
I know that I don't want Hillary as president. Obama? I don't know. To me, they all promise things and may have good intentions, but the representives (senators and congress) have a lot of voting power over what a president wants.
I am not too happy with any of the candidates. Oh, well. Gotta vote for the lesser evil, I guess.

You must read his book "The Audacity of Hope". There is an excerpt from it in my book blog

ReplyDeleteI listened to Obama's speech, too, and really liked it for his straight talk about a tough issue. I think he's inspiring.
ReplyDeleteI thought he was totally brilliant. Whatever happens to his election, this speech will go down in history as a truly great speech in my mind.
ReplyDeleteHi!! I don't know much about the American election campaign I'm afraid :( Do you have the link of the speech? Perhaps on You tube?
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely week,
