I endeavor to refrain from directly attacking any politician publicly, as I feel it never does any good. My wife and I have always consulted one another in regards to this business every four years. We discuss the topics; comparing them individually to our beliefs, and then make our way to the voting booth.

I have noticed, after reflecting on past conversations and writings, that I have allowed the unmistakable arguments of which candidate is best creep out. I have thought upon my newfound weakness for several days, arriving at the only possible conclusion: I shall let fly my thoughts on the candidate I will not be voting for this presidential election. I will try to follow up with the reason I am voting for my selected candidate, but this approach is rarely executed, so, for this article, I will only focus on bashing the enemy of my candidate. Also, in order to clear up any questions up front, I will be giving my vote to John McCain. Now that we have the question of to whom my vote will be cast; let us move forward with the subject at hand.

I will start my grievance with Mr. Obama with a discussion of his personal appearance. Granted Mr. McCain is not a pretty thing to look at, still, he is not the subject of this discourse, and that fact, in my opinion, is in his favor. Mr. Obama, on the other hand, strikes an unimposing impression. If I were a leader of a competing country, I would be hard pressed to take him seriously. He brings to mind my Chihuahua; I have had this small animal for almost twelve years. He can look and act the ferocious beast, but I have never, nor will I ever, be afraid of his bite. You see, Taco the Chihuahua may be able to bring a small amount of blood during a fit of rage, which he frequents this attitude daily, he will never convince me he may go for the jugular. In a sense, this relates to my feelings to Mr. Obama. The competing leader knows he has the facility’s (Americas people and military) but the leader is unimpressed of Mr. Obama’s ability to utilize those stated resources. The Chihuahua has strong, sharp little teeth, but I do not fear them due to his inward cowardice to lunge for my neck during a provocation.

I see his false smile, perhaps it is due to some of my training in this area, but it is false nonetheless. I have watched him during interviews and speeches forcing false expressions. Another discomfort I find in Mr. Obama’s appearance is his eyes. His eyes never reflect the words he is saying. They remain uninterested and apathetic to his audience. However, I believe Mr. Obama recognizes the fact that when you are promising the world to people they rarely look you in the eye. Former president Bill Clinton knew this to be true. I remember some of my colleagues remarks about the present president’s arrogant stance. I will admit I never felt that from President Bush, but I feel it heavily from Mr. Obama. Yet, at the same time, I feel Mr. Obama’s arrogance is just another farce. I really believe that Mr. Obama wishes he could turn the clock back to before his announcement for the presidency and convince his former self to abandon the notion. His mannerisms are not what a leader can use effectively. I am sure they worked fine in his past endeavor to become a senator. However, the promise of an increase in welfare checks will not satisfy a rogue country’s leader who has nukes aimed our way. If he is elected he will fulfill his promise of change, but it will be his underwear being changed when the first threat is thrown his way. He just will not fill the bill face to face with a competing country’s leader. I can see them clearly swatting him on the behind and being told to go home, brush your teeth, eat your vegetables, say your prayers, and sending along with him a note to congress imploring them to send a man next time. Oh dear reader, I can but hear him now, “Mrs. Pelosi! That big bad meanie leader spanked my behind, make California sue them, please!”

Departing Mr. Obamas mannerisms and personal appearance, we come to the inevitable question of his experience. Here I have trouble separating fact from fiction. I generally shy away from any individual of whom his past cannot be worked out easily. There is just no excuse for this dilemma. I have been unable to verify several of Mr. Obama’s self-alleged accomplishments. For many of them there is insufficient data proving and disproving them. One source will say this is so and another will refute it. I have not the time to waste working out what a person lies about and what he may relate truthfully. When an individual desires something as important as the presidency and I encounter a smoke screen such as Mr. Obama has produced, I always fall on the side of caution. If the smoke screen doesn’t clear soon, I will chalk that person up as a liar and move on. This is what I was forced to do with Mr. Obama.

I will review some of his verifiable credits as follows: 1. Mr. Obama is a 47-year-old junior senator. 2. Made a failed run for the United States House of Representatives. 3. Graduated from both Columbia and Harvard (this would explain many of his liberal left tendencies) universities. 4. He worked as a civil rights attorney. 5. Taught constitutional law. 6. Mr. Obama was the first African American nominated to a national political party.

Although, the above-mentioned accomplishments are not all inclusive, they are the more recent highlights. Item six is where I would like the reader to focus their attention. It seems that he and his followers have neglected to include the other half of his race. Bless his poor ole white mammas heart. Indeed, she has been left out in the cold. If the reader will imagine Mr. Obama kneeling before his mother and saying, “Momma you know I can’t call attention to being half white; my voting base will not have it!” His mother died of cancer in 1995; so I am sure Mr. Obama feels she will not be hurt by his sellout. Clinging to the African blood, I do mean true African blood, for most of the so-called African Americans I have encountered would not last a minute on the shores of that continent; Mr. Obama is riding the waves of race.

No matter his education, by selling his on mother out, his morals are brought front and center to my attention. Why would I want such a coward to make decisions for my children? Why would I want such a lowly creature representing me to the world? I do not. However many deluded people do. They want him as president simply because he is half-black. They will be the first ones to cry racism to any non-supporters of Mr. Obama. Don’t be surprised that, while they scream racism, they do it for the benefit of the black half only. I wonder what a race-monger would say to an informed black man that votes for John McCain. I suppose it may be along the lines of: “you didn’t vote for Obama because his mammas white!” Not with standing the sell out of his mother, he uses the African blood coursing through his veins in the way that anybody can see is but a ruse. I have heard both black and white people state that they will never put a black man in the white house. That, my dear reader, is exactly my point. They refuse to see that he is only half-black. Vote or no vote that is what Mr. Obama wanted to accomplish. The fact that he is highly educated is his only attribute. Mr. Obama simply does not have the worldly experience to be president of these United States. If he does win the election what is going to stop him from selling the American people out, black, red, yellow, or white, like he done his own birth mother.

I will close with this statement. I do not care what others think of a candidate, nor do I especially care to hear the media’s take on any one candidate. I do care what the candidate’s take on me encompasses. If the candidate cares only for giving false promises and assurances, he has lost my vote at the first syllable. Now you know one citizens stand amongst millions. I ask you, does this knowledge change your mind? I thought not.
