The US elections are obviously a very important event as they elect the leader of one of the major countries in the world, the United States of America.
I have many opinions on the elections, and I would like to share these with you in my post.
Firstly, I would like to say that I was a John McCain supporter previously, but converted to supporting Obama after the full amount of ridiculousness and hilarity merited by McCain’s Campaign.
Basically, I think that John McCain got out of control of his campaign. He even went to the stupidity of going on to Saturday Night Live, where his campaign was demerited by Sarah Palin impersonator Tina Fey. There was an obviously frosty relationship between Fey and McCain on SNL, which added to my impressions that McCain is not a very personable character.
It was as if the producer was behind him with a large, electric whip forcing him to say these lines. It looked so forced and I must say his acting was terrible.
As a Twitter follower once said to me, “John McCain no longer cares how he wins, even if it takes away his pride and dignity”.
This statement made me think. It is absolutely true. John McCain also used a lot of ‘feel sorry for me’ techniques throughout his campaign. For example, he begun his presidential debate speech by saying that his friend was ill. This is a prime example.
One thing that I noticed was that when you saw Obama you thought ‘he means business’. However, when you saw McCain, you thought, “what an ass!”.
On the election night, I was rather nervous about who would win. I had thoughts in my head that this person would rule the USA for an entire 4 years, and once elected there was no turning back.
Luckily the American public were intelligent enough to vote Obama, so we’re safe for this term!
