"coming from Australia"
"Obama (whom I support)"
Are you now a naturalized American citizen? If not, why do you "support" someone who is running for president in a foreign country?
Frankly, it seems strange that you have given this so much thought and energy since Obama is running for President of the USA, not President of the Western world.
I will have to go with McCain myself, but I am not worried for my country if we have an Obama presidency.
Whether or not Obama wins in November, just getting this far shows how far America has come in regards to race relations.
The race issue is a double edged sword for Obama. Many people want to show they are non-racist and automatically jump at this chance to prove it. Others are racist and will never vote for him because of his race.
But I think race is not the main issue this year, if Obama wins it will be because people want a change in economic and foreign policy. But be careful of what you wish for, change can be positive or negative. I have problems with both Obama's economic and foreign policy positions and don't see myself voting for him. |
