Let the games begin …

Okay, so I, like many of you, watched the Presidential debates and it seemed to me there was a no clear “winner”. However, I was impressed at how Obama carried himself and, considering this was supposed to be an area he was not to “ready”, he held his own very well. On the other hand,

I felt that McCain’s constant reminders of his not being voted “Miss Congeniality” just goes to prove that he has truly lost the notion of the race. Maybe he signed up for the wrong race and he thought he was supposed to be running for Miss USA (wait… that would be another race he’d lose), and that is why he picked Sarah Palin as his running mate. Anyways, besides that, I was utterly disgusted in his mannerisms whereby he couldn’t even make eye contact (not even once) with Obama. Oh my god, it was so childish; do we truly want such a figure head to represent us in the global world? Could you imagine how he’d deal with representatives from around the globe? If he didn’t agree with them, would he give them the silent treatment? Maybe Obama’s approach of sitting down with open chats isn’t realistic; they do, however, at least give us hope that he would work with others.

Now with the Vice-Presidential debate lingering, I am curious to see how Palin will fare. She has been royally screwing up her interviews and I have to say that Saturday Night Live’s depiction of her Katie Couric interview was outrageous! But I’m wondering if she will – especially since she been preparing for such a long time now – come across a lot more knowledgeable than she truly is. Will she just recite the jargon provided to her and manifest herself as what the Republican Party what as opposed to what she truly is. As a female myself, I have to say that she has embarrassed the daylights out of me. I am actually insulted that McCain choose her to depict as a woman who could hold her own in this very demanding position. Either it’s a slap in the face for all of us women, because she is truly coming across as a Bimbo (and she isn’t even blonde!), or it just goes to show how McCain has a lack of knowledge in coming up with decisions. He had longer to choose his running mate and all he could find in the whole bloody party was this sorry excuse for a mate? C’mon please don’t let these guys take over Washington DC; do we really want to be ridiculed even further in this global environment? Just remember we need to pick someone who can personify us with dignity and maturity, not someone who can’t give straight answers. We don’t need a rash decision maker; we need someone who is thoughtful and rational – these are characteristics I do see in Obama. He may not be perfect, but I doubt anyone is. He does, however, come across as someone who can lead us out of the mess of the past eight years!
