So I have a lot to talk about on the political front but since this just came across the wire, it has to be this. I am absolutely speechless at the choice that John McCain has made in his running mate. He has chosen Sarah Palin who is three years younger than Obama, has never been on the floor, and has no experience in Washington. That's not the thing I'm amazed about. It's the fact that he waved around Obama's inexperience like a great flag. And now he has gotten someone even less experienced than he is!
Yes, I can see his gameplan. I'll get a woman Veep candidate and all the women will flock to me. And in some instances, it might actually work. But it's so big, it's really hard to wrap my head around it. I suppose I'm worried about women who just vote for McCain because he has a female vice presidential candidate. The fact that she is a woman will overshadow everything. I have to think about this some more.
Anyway, the rest of the Democratic National Convention was awesome. I really really wish I could have been there. Maybe in another four years. I listened to Michelle Obama's speech which was amazing. She is a wonderful woman and will be an excellent first lady. Hillary's speech which I commented on was also heartfelt and encouraging.
Joe Biden's speech was one that I loved to hear. He is a joy to listen to and is also gave a heartfelt speech. He makes you want him to be the vice president. One thing that I loved personally is that he used to stutter when he was younger. Some people think all kinds of things about stutterers but in reality, it's just a little glitch in the brain. Like Joe Biden and my life partner J says, "My mind moves too fast for my brain." So in reality, stutterers are super geniuses. So I don't mind that I stutter and I feel sorry for people who laugh. The fact that they aren't more aware is ludicrous.
Bill Clinton was just Bill. He reveled in the applause and even said he loved it. You can't blame him for being honest. But he also threw his support behind Obama fully but I could tell he was still kind of upset that Hillary didn't win.
To cap it all off, I watched Obama's 45 minute speech on the Promise of America. It was really good which seems a little lame for his speech. I loved it so much and it made me even more proud to have him as my presidential candidate. If you haven't seen it. Take a look, the speech is everywhere!
So all in all, I am extremely excited about politics this year. I can't wait to vote!
