Why would anyone want to become the President of the United States?

One must ask, Who would want to be the President of the United States? Well, obviously, there were several that did, but they have gotten weeded out one by one, and now there are but three possibles left, yes there are still a few that want to play like they can run, but that is just to make some sort of political statement, or gain some points in their little world of supporters, but, realistically, there are but three.

We all know who they are by now, Barack Hussein Obama, Hillary Rodham Clinton, and John Sidney McCain III, so what on earth could motivate someone to actually put themselves through the meat grinder of the political process?

If you haven’t noticed, everybody hates at least one of them, and obviously, many love at least one, but there are probably many more, that just don’t like any of them, so what does that say about America? We are one great big confused mess of people, that’s what! Our differences are what make our wonderful country so diverse and also so divided!

Why are there so many different views? Have you noticed that, whether anybody would ever admit it or not, we are a very socially segregated country? You can divide us up into all sorts of groups, by age, race, status, education, I could go on forever, how can we ever agree on one person?

Many of these groups will overlap with other groups, but there will always be divisions, just like cats and dogs, some get along, if they grow up together, but people are way more complicated than cats and dogs. Sometimes from serving together in the military, or going to school, we learn to play nice, but even so, we have our base group that we belong to, and many times it is something stupid that keeps us from getting along! I have seen discussions between friends get ugly if the subject of religion, or politics comes up! Is it no wonder that things get really ugly during an election?

Lets look at the candidates one by one and see what motivates them, remember, I am trying to hold back my opinion, but it will probably shine through, no matter how hard I try.

Barack Hussein Obama: This is a tough one for me to figure out, no matter how many times I hear or read what he wants, no where have I found out why! A simple question, right? I find no answer, here is a link to his website, go look for yourself.

The only thing I can put together, and that just from the most common word, “change”, this word is always used in a vague manner, it is always just change, change, change, but, what do you actually think he wants to change? What is it possible for him to change? Washington is what he says, but, what exactly? Do you think that a country that has evolved for what, 232 years, can change in 4 years? Even in 8? Not a chance! It is kind of like a freight train, it rolls down a track and takes a lot to stop it, wanna be in the car that gets in the way? I think not!

It takes a lot of training to drive a train, and an old engineer friend told me that stopping it is the hardest part, and takes years to get the job, how can a new guy even think he can just jump behind the controls and think he even has a chance?

Maybe he wouldn’t actually want to drive it? Maybe he just wants to crash it? I know if I tried to drive a train, that would be what happened!

Oh, have you heard about who is backing him now? Louis Farrakhan, now that is SCARY! Read this to find out why! Don’t forget Oprah, want her to drive the train? If Barack was going for an Emmy or something, she would be a help, or if he was just selling a book!

Ok, maybe, just maybe, somebody will get what is happening there, but lets move on.

Hillary Rodham Clinton: What can I say about her? Actually it is pretty obvious what motivates her, power! Being a woman that couldn’t control her hubby’s urges, never got her way while he was president, remember the train? She wants a second shot at it!

Hillary, as I bite my tongue, would be the lesser of two evils, she knows what can and can’t be done, and may actually bring some sort of realistic change, even a subtle one compared to the malarki coming from Barack, go check out her website and you will see that there is more of a plan than just the word “Change”.

The reason Hillary is getting beat up, is the fact that Barack is a great speaker, so was Hitler, he has fulfilled the fantasies of so many people, for so many reasons, she may be done for!

I feel ill saying this, but I kind of feel sorry for her, and the country for that matter! As much as I dislike her, and her hubby, that would be a much better option than what the Dems are choosing in Barack!

Her “mandatory” health plan is scary in theory, but will never happen, so that doesn’t worry me, her other socialist ideas, as bad as they are, in no way compare to the communist plans that Barack has, but, back to the train, they won’t happen either.So, on to my choice, and I will try to be fair, but, I can assure you that I will be honest!

John Sidney McCain III: What is this guys motivation? At least he says why he wants to be President, the other two don’t, read it yourself! Look at his past, as you should the other two, but only one of them has a past to look at, and she was just married to it!

No, I am not talking about a few years as a Senator, Barack and Hillary both have that, but, what about McCain, he has been an elected official since 1982! Many of Barack’s Supporters weren’t even born yet!

Before his public service began has was a P.O.W.! Come on, is that experience or what? My personal belief is that one prerequisite for being president, should be prior military service! Yes, I am a Vet! No, I would never want to be President!

Any person, who joins the military, puts his life on the line for his country, that is a far cry from law-school! Even in peace time, there are sacrifices that have to be made, ones that may seem trivial to a law student, but not to another Vet!

Back to the train, if experience is important to drive a train, McCain has that, he has been on that train for a long time, and not just as a passenger for a few years peeking out the window. He knows what obstacles may lie ahead, and how to deal with them.

Many look at the War on Terror as they would a video game, they don’t really like it, so they just want to turn it off! Sorry, the U.S.A. didn’t start that war, but we have to be the ones to finish it! We must win it! Unlike Europe and many of the other countries out there, the U.S.A. has a responsibility, since we are the biggest kid on the block, we must protect out friends and allies!

As far as change goes, McCain has been changing things for some time, and both the Republicans and the Democrats have fought him, but, he has brought compromise between the two, both may hate him for it, but he has done it! So, who is most likely to actually bring a “realistic” change?
