The Election

My opinion on this election is that Barack Obama should have won the election by alot more but it suprised me because he got the youth's vote but he ONLY won 52% to 46% . Yea, there were plenty of people who voted for him JUST because he is black, but he was clearly the more intellectual and sophisticated candidate for President. John McCain is a 72 year old man who is bound to die any second now. The only good thing he had going for him is that hes a Virgo just like i am and his birthday is a day after mine, if only America knew, he could have been our next President....but it just did not turn out that way for him . He is another version of George Bush , the same guy who has turned our country and the economy into what it is now, a complete mess. Imagine 4, possibly 8 years of that. I wouldnt want to. Now I imagine what Andy mentioned in class about the election saying that "if Obama's mom was a drug-addict and he didnt go from poor to rich, would this election have been different?" I think it would have, I think the voters would prejudge Barack and all his success in Harvord and in life, and base their vote on his skin color and what most people see when they prejudge black people . In the end, I think our country is better off with Barack Obama as President, but hey- let the time pass and we will all find out.
