Let Me Tell You My Theory

How similar do you see the characteristics between this presidential election and the election of 1960?? There was Nixon - old, sickly looking, and not appealing at all to anyone on TV. Then there was JFK - he was new, he was hip, he was fab, not to mention he was young and very good looking. No wonder all the ladies (and everyone else) voted for him. Three years later, he was dead from a bullet through the head.
So this year, there was McCain, and all anyone could say about him was that he was old, and all he could talk about was the Vietnam War. Then there's Obama - he's fit, he's smart, he's suave, he's young and still in love with his happy wife and family, and every woman in the US guaranteed has some sort of whatever woman crush on him. He's the new JFK, and there's about a million people out there that you could talk to that pretty much think he's going to get assassinated within the first month of his presidency.
And gee, it doesn't help any that he's BLACK.

That's just my theory.

But other than that, I think it's about time we got a Democrat back in office. Ok, come on, I'm more Republican, but you've gotta admit - the Democrats (unless you're a REAL good Republican) are the ones that generally get things done. Alright, so maybe their morals are a little lower than most, but maybe that's what makes them such good politicians! I know I wasn't a Clinton fan back in the day, but what did I know - I was 7. But looking back now, and especially comparing it to Bush's 2 terms (I'm not harping on Bush), the economy was good, Clinton actually went out and helped other countries and established different programs that have actually really made a difference! What has Bush done?? I'm not going to lie - I would have very much feared for the economy if McCain had been elected to office, which was why I was very hesitant right at the end to vote for him anymore, yet I would have felt like a sinner going against my Republican beliefs voting for Obama. But now with Obama in office (I'm not surprised at all to see he has won), I actually have some sort of hope for our economy. Maybe. I don't know if I can trust him fully yet, but I think I can trust him to get the job done, whatever that job may be. This will be a fun and adventurous next 4 years to see how our country turns out. So let's...hold on tight and hopefully enjoy the ride??
