McCain vs. Obama: The Choice 2008

October 23, 2008 2:52 PM

It has been called one of the most historic presidential elections in our nation's history - Barack Obama versus John McCain. It is a race that pits the iconoclast against the newcomer, the heroic prisoner of war against the first African American nominated by a major party. The Choice 2008 examines the rich personal and political biographies of these two men.

I think this is the last chance for American's to change their lives and elect Barak Obama as their President. Obama is the Messiah America needs now. Mr. Arnold Schwarzenegger was making fun of Obama's skinny legs, I would like to ask Mr. Schwarzenegger dont you think its time for US to stop using Muscle power and use some Brain power? Havent America or American have had enough of dirty politic? Obama's agenda clearly reflects how much of a peace maker he is, how compassionate he is toward the Middle class American's. I would like to say to all American dont give your country in the hands of a cripple leader but give your county some young blood which is needed to keep you in the super power race. Change the racial attitude towards fellow humans. Good Luck !!!!

As a citizen of Canada, I feel Obama it is the best decision Americans have ever chosen. If I am not looking for anything else from the new president of America, (Obama) I know that I can look for changes in racism between mostly black and white. I feel it is a chance to show white’s that we as black’s people don’t have anything against them and all we want is to put all that is passed behind us. America, I wish I was there to celebrate with you, more than half of your country is black and from time to time it feels as if your needs and colure don’t count until today; We all had a dream that Martin Luther King’s dream will come through and that day is today. CONGRATULATIONS.
