It is crunch time for both political parties as we near closer to the verdict of America’s next leadership. During this crucial time, the citizens have to look at this presidential race closer in order to ultimately help America’s future economy. However, it appears that the citizen and the media are failing to see the big picture. It is 2008 and the presidential elections’ issues are stuck in the matters of race, and not practicality. Wall Street has crashed, and we are still at war. So much is at risk, yet the mob is stuck in the world of ignorance. For Mr. Barack Obama, the Democratic presidential nominee, race has become the barrier and not disposition. The consensus of the Republican crowds are suspicious of a black president, even if he would be better economically. The logic of ignorance over objectivity is appalling.
America the diverse, and the so called melting pot is at odds even with the stakes looming. Its unfortunate how the open mindedness of some can be hindered by the many uneducated. Black and white is not so simple in the matters of politics even after our history of progress. Voters are openly claiming to support Mr. McCain simply because he is white, and because he is the “suitable” candidate for presidency. The Republican crowds have called Mr. Obama Arab, Muslim, friend of terrorists, traitor,radical, communist and so much more that have no grounds. Most claim to approve of Ms. Sarah Palin even though they have heard of Mr. Obama years before. With the mob of consensus the logic is that Mr. McCain, and Ms. Sarah Palin are more familiar and perhaps more “American.” The merits of intelligence and leadership stand no chance with this mentality of ignorance.
