Election 2008

Today, the eligible American public will head to the polls across the country to select in a democratic fashion the next leader of the Free World.

Our candidates, Barack Obama and John McCain have spent the last twenty months trying to convince the American public why they're the best choice to lead the United States for the next four years. Billions of dollars were spent on commercials, travel expenses, food and so much more between the two to get out the vote for them. The American electoral process is confusing to many people at home and abroad. No other country has such a prolonged campaign program.

And that all comes to an end today. We hope. I personally am so tired of the election that this day couldn't have come soon enough. The world is watching and hoping that Americans will join them in moving the world forward into the 21st century and away from our classic Cold War mentality, which isn't working.

An economic recession/crisis, out of control war in the Middle East, failing health care, energy costs and the reduction of freedom are all at stake here. Be sensible and vote for our future, not for our past.
