This years presidential election is an interesting one to say the least... Regardless of which party wins, history will be made: the first black president or the first female vice president. Each side has it's flaws and as we draw ever closer to Nov. 4th, those flaws are magnified times ten and often blown way out of proportion.
Sarah Palin has already held office in Alaska, yes, I do understand that; however to me, being the VP of the United States is a whole different story. I don't understand how she can be as dedicated to her family as she says she is, but at the same time show the same dedication and time needed to run this country. I've never been a parent, but from what I gather a child is a handful, and she has five. I don't discount her knowledge, potential, or will-power. All I know is the chance you can give enough time and attention to a one year old with down syndrome and run our country are pretty slim.
On the other hand, I do not find the other option very enticing either. If Barack Obama applied for a job with the FBI or with the Secret Service, he would be disqualified because of his past association with William Ayers, a known terrorist. If he were elected President, he would not qualify to be his own body guard. Sure these are shallow reasons, but come on people that are ex-convicts (not saying Obama is!) can have a difficult time getting a job anywhere because of crimes they've committed in the past. So are we going to let Obama slide into the most important position in our country with gray areas on his record?
Choices choices choices....
