Is this country great or not! What other country in the world could you have a black minority, educated at Harvard, with the accompanying law degree, but with no experience in any real world environment, except as an advocate and an activist for special interests, with a minor level of experience in politics as a state representative and just 3 years into his election as a junior senator for the state of Illinois, accept the nomination from the largest political body in the world, (democrats) to be their candidate for the Presidency of the United States of America, and to represent you and me to the world. If this isn’t great I don’t know what is.
Hopefully, however, the more mature and more reflective part of this great country will carefully review the challenges that face us in the real world, and how this very accomplished but inexperienced and not tested candidate will hold up in the rigors of international and domestic politics and the specific threats to our security and the safety of our way of life, and carefully review his stated policies on how he and his fellow democrats (Pelosi, Reid, Schumer, Clinton, Boxer, and associates) will accomplish this.
I am sure the teachers union and other unions along with the trial lawyers and the environmental advocates concerned with the main threat to mankind of global warming and carbon footprints will have many ideas on how he should go about addressing these issues. For me, I am hopeful that sounder heads will prevail and accept the fact that a democratic president to go along with a most likely majority democratic house and senate would be a major setback for our country and economy and take us on the path to socialism that affects so many of the European countries. Be sure and vote and if you can VOTE REPUBLICAN AT EVERY OPPORTUNITY!
