Things I Observed On The Campaign Trail For The '08 US Presidential Elections

This past 2008 US presidential elections seemed to have lasted a long time. And maybe it seemed so because along the way, things happened.
Maybe too many to recall or mention here, but these are a few of the more memorable ones I have been able to observe.
People who are not too much on the religious side of life, and who never heard of Jeremiah Wright, found out who he is, what church he preached at, and which of the candidates was a member of that church for about twenty years.
I have not set foot in any major preacherīs or evangelistīs church, but it would not take me twenty something years to suddenly realize that that preacherīs or evangelistīs viewpoints or rhetoric is not to my liking.
Clinton haters came out in droves to denigrate, harshly criticize and demonize the Clintons. And at the 2008 Democratic National Convention, it seemed as though Mr. And Mrs. Clinton were told: īYouīd better go out there and say what we want you to say or else ī
I donīt know if Joe The Plumber or Sarah Palinīs life will ever be the same, but one thing I did notice was that, Palin haters were acting as if Alaska was some foreign nation.
I donīt know who or what they wanted her to speak like, but to me, Sarah Palin sounded like an American.
I thought it was a sad day for America when women were swooning at some of the Obama rallies. It was as if they had never seen a man before.
When Mrs. Obama observed what a heavy impact her husband was having on the campaign trail, she said for the first time in her life she was proud to be an American.
In the end, it seemed as though Mr. Obamaīs victory was a victory for dark skinned people or Blacks everywhere on the planet. People from those foreign countries who don't know the first thing about American Politics instantly loved Mr. Obama for whatever reason.
For they all stayed up late on election night to see who won. It was almost as if it was an NBA championship or Superbowl game.
Especially if you observed the way such people were cheering and carrying on.
And I hope the President Elect Barack Obama, who was in the senate for three or four years, never governed a state or was mayor of a town or city does not disappoint all those people who love him, adore him and want to swoon when they hear his name or see his face on the tele.
It should be an interesting four years. We will see, wonīt we?
