Tell Em Why You Mad...

The United States of America as it is today, prides itself on being the best. Even though we've fallen on hard economic times, we still want the best of everything. The biggest houses, the latest technology, the best music, most phenomenal movies, biggest flat screens, best colleges, best military...the list goes on.

So why, when it comes to the most important thing in the world, the biggest and most important decision to determine the course for America, do we choose to settle for mediocrity? Why, all of a sudden, is averageness and regularity a desirable attribute for the leader of the free world? Would any of us settle for a "so so" blackberry? Would we be dying to try that "pretty ok" 2 star restaurant. And who, if they had the option, wud pick GW over Harvard?

So please explain 2 me why the American people want so badly, a president they can just share a cold beer with, a president who "dont have no faanncccy edumacation", a vp who wudnt even pick up the GW Hatchet every once in a blue. The ability 2 give birth does not qualify you 2 be in the white house. Being a mother doesn't have anything 2 do with how smart you are or how experienced you are in foreign policy. Why are people so fucking impressed that Palin is a hockey mom and a working mother?? Shit, if thats the case than MY mother shud run for president! She'd be more qualified seeing as how she has a degree in international affairs and an MBA, is a college professor AND got 4 kids.

I'm sorry to make this so long, but I'm just so frustrated that this election is even a question. The polls shouldn't even be this close. When i was growing up my parents used 2 tell me, "nothing in this world will be given 2 you for free. Especially because you're black, and especially because you're a woman, you will have to work twice as hard as the white person next 2 you, 2 achieve the same success. Dont be bitter about it, just accept it and use that to motivate you". Barack Obama is the best and the brightest politician ( white, black, blue whatever) that most of us have ever seen. Yet America STILL wants to make things twice as hard for him, simply because hes black.

Dont u want someone smarter than you, someone who has more wisdom and knowledge? Someone who has a better GPA then you, someone who can raise their kids better then you can? Shudnt we entrust the nuclear codes to someone who has better judgment, morals, ethics, intelligence, and decision making skills then the average American? John Mccain and Sarah Palin aren't the worst people in the world, they aren't the dumbest( well, maybe Sarah is), and they aren't the most inexperienced, but ask yourself... ARE THEY THE BEST? The answer is no.
