Unchange the Change

One big buzz in the US right now is the upcoming elections.

The question that rules this election is who can turn tables around in this mess created by the Bush administration.
Answer: Who knows!

Logically, it makes sense to trust a Harvard Law School pass-out (read: Barack Obama) to deal with a messy economy. But what can turn things around is not only education but also sense and sensibility. McCain addresses his audience and says he would bring their taxes down, but take a look at the other end of the podium and you will find a room full of rich folks – he is not lying, he does plan to bring their taxes down. Obama wants regulation to handle the infamous economics of the Wall Street. Does that mean he would support bail-outs? Neither seems to have a well-laid plan to turn the swamp around into a pretty lake.

McCain made the biggest political decision to turn the elections around by choosing Sarah Palin as his VP. When he got worried about his experience ticket, he brought in Sarah Palin to target Hilary’s followers and move onto the Change boat! Is Sarah Palin McCain’s security blanket? Distracting the crowds from the main issues seems to be working. This does not imply that I do not trust Palin’s jurisdiction. She has done some incredible work in her town, and that is worth a mention. Getting her into the scene was one of the smartest political moves on behalf of the Republican campaign. She is a complete scene of good work, controversies, personal issues, stage presence, articulation, and what more, she’s from the gender that matters in this election! She may not have been the most obvious choice for McCain’s VP, but may just be his ticket to the White House and in the run, she may do a decent job of her position as VP. Experience does not guarantee quality;did the Bush administration do any better after their experience in the White House for 4 years? However, her ignorance of international affairs and the proximity of her home to Russia need a lot of work. (BTW, I learned yesterday that her claimed trip to Ireland was in fact a refueling stop.) But with her “being a heartbeat” away from the Presidential post, can she run the United States of America if need arises? Can she deal with Russia with neighborly love?

Obama’s choice of Joe Biden meanwhile, seems to be based on comfort level and making up for his negatives. He chose to do the right thing but missed “the sensation boat” by not choosing Hilary Clinton. That combo could have changed it all. Sarah Palin may not have got her stardom and McCain may have picked someone more experienced, like another Joe Biden to highlight his “experience” even more.

The voters hear more about the campaign mudslinging, rather than the real causes.
Are they helping the people decide on the right vote or pushing them towards the wrong vote?
