HARD CHOICE TO VOTE

Again, my topic is still on “vote for 2008”. There is only four days before Election Day, we will know who the next President of the United States is. This is a complex election in which has many opinions and news that make my family as such as the other families’ hard choice to vote for.

Beginning of this primary vote, my family supported to Democrat party. We voted for Mrs. Hillary Clinton who we thought that she has more experience than Mr. Obama and she has her husband besides her that helps her a lot in solving the serious problem if she becomes a president. But in June, she lost in that battle and Mr. Obama becomes a nominee.

For the next choice between Mr. McCain and Mr. Obama, we began to observe and listen to the news or the opinions on TV and newspapers. But the more we observe them, the more we feel worse and worse. Even they makes us confuse and hard choice to vote. There are always two sides on the news or in the opinions. One side have told that Mr. McCain is too old, so he will not have the wise decision for country in the future because his health; or he did wrong choice when picked Mrs. Sarah Palin for his vice president because she is not intelligent and has some problems in her family; or he did not persuade the American people about his economy policy because his party used to defend for rich people while the nation are in economic depression… Oppositely, the other side told that Mr. Obama has relative with Muslim; or his slogan is “ Change”, but how he can change our country when he did not have experience before; or his tax’ policy is cut down tax for working people, but makes disadvantageous for rich people who will create more jobs and profit for government…

With the current economic recession, Democrat party has more advances and maybe Mr. Obama will be the president. Maybe, American people are in thought of Mr. Obama as Mr. Franklin Roosevelt who succeeded with “New Deals” to solve the depression in 1930s and hope that Democrat party will reform and raise the economy. However, in finally my family as the greater of Vietnamese people who don’t know much about the government here, will support Mr. McCain who had ever attended in military and had merit of Vietnamese immigration in the past time. We think he has more experience than Mr. Obama and has strong and settled decision like Mr. Washington or Mr. Theodore Roosevelt who are famous and successful generals become presidents.
