On Sunday, October 26th, I had a very, enlightening conversation with three callers during a two-hour segment of "FIRM...but fair" with Jeffery A. Faulkerson. The topic of conversation was whether the presidential campaign of Republican John McCain is more righteous than the one being run by Democrat Barack Obama. The first caller thinks Obama is running the most righteous campaign, while the second caller thinks they're both crooks. The third caller opted not to tell us who he would be voting for, but he had plenty of positive things to say about Barack Obama.
As most of you know, I reside in North Carolina, the Tar Heel State. Consequently, I was able to participate in the early voting process. I cast my vote for the Democratic Party ticket featuring Obama and his running mate Joe Biden.
There were a lot of interesting points raised during last night's broadcast (and I don't intend on rehashing them here), but the one thing that we agreed on concerns the lack of respect that Americans have for politicians.
Most politicians will say what they need to say to secure votes, and Obama and McCain are no different. But I feel that Barack Obama has yet to be corrupted by the unrighteous maneuvers of Washington insiders. For me, he is a breath of fresh air, someone who understands what average Americans are going through. And because he had the honor of being a community organizer in Chicago, I believe in his ability to restore the bond of temporal peace within and outside America.
What do you think?
I look forward to reading your responses.
