Obama’s Overplay

Well I would admit that Barak Obama looks “fresh”. By saying “fresh” I mean he looks confident and obviously has better campaign management than the previous Democratic frontrunners John Kerry and Al Gor.

Sure I don’t undestand “Change” the way Obama preach it. I don’t see it in his policies. Is it all about the war in Iraq? If “yes” I would say that there is someone who much better understands challenges in Iraq, Middle East, as well as the U.S. foreign policy. An this “someone” is John McCain! He projected that situation in Iraq is going to get better and he did many things to achieve this.

So if someone is proven reformer, if someone can say “Change” this is McCain.

When I think of “change” I would like to hear something specific. And when it comes to world affairs John McCain delivered very strong and clear message. He said that the G8 should again become “a club of leading market democracies. It should include Brazil and India but exclude Russia. Today, we see in Russia diminishing political freedoms, a leadership dominated by a clique of former intelligence officers, efforts to bully democratic neighbors, such as Georgia, and attempts to manipulate Europe’s dependence on Russian oil and gas”.

On the other side “Change” sometimes means “a lose of decency”. In other words it can be a copy of the presidential seal with Barak Obama’s web address on it.

We can look at the new Obama seal different ways. Someone might say “It is cool”, “Other migh say it is poor copy of the original”. Anyone might note that Obama’s campaign managers know how to keep attention on him. I would say that a prospective president should behave as a leader and to show more decency at least when uses the national symbols.

I don’t want to publish “fake” seals on my blog so please go to see it in NYTimes.

That’s Why Republicans Are Great Party

Mit Roomney has probably made the best move in its long run for a Republican presidential nominee. His withdrawal from campaign has showed him as a team player. His exit from the presidential race has put him on the front-pages of most major newspapers nationwide. His face also led all newscasts.

“Now, to all of you, thank you, here, for caring enough about America to show up, to speak up, to stand up for conservative principles”, said Mr. Romney in its withdrawal speech. He lent his campaign at least $35 million of his own money.

It is clear that Romney decided to suspend his campaign because he was far behing McCain after “Super Thuesday”. But he would stay if he thought much of himself and less of his party. Have you seen the title “This place is vacant” in TIME magazine which refered to the logo of the Republicans. The atrticle suggested there’s no elephant among conservative candidates. Yesterday Romney proved the this is wrong view.

The party however has a strong team spirit and it can stand firm behind any candidate to make im to win. Romney was almost the best one. The thing he didn’t have is enough experience. But he is young enough to run again, even if McCains would serve 2 term in office. But let’s get back to his moment! Look what did he say?

I’m convinced that unless America changes course, we could become the France of the 21st century… still a great nation, but not the leader of the world, not the superpower. And to me that’s unthinkable”.

History can make any prediction to come true but I don’t think America will face the fate of France. At least not in this century.

Anyway, what Mr. Romney did is to give a good answer of the question “Why do the Republican party have credibility to run the America?”. Because this party is a great one!
