PICKING A PRESIDENT

It seems Miguel Lopez is fed up with John McCain.  After watching the second presidential debate on Tuesday, he announced: “I’m not an undecided voter anymore.  I’m gonna vote for Obama.” 

Why?  For a number of reasons. 

A couple months ago, Miguel felt the lure of both candidates: John McCain had experience, and Barack Obama an appealing youthfulness and promise for change.  But McCain’s experience isn’t looking so good on this side of a severe economic crisis that happened during the watch of the Bush administration.  McCain is a part of the government that created this mess, Miguel said, and it has to stop.  

The bad policies of the Bush administration affect the whole party, he said.

He was particularly unimpressed with McCain’s debate performance, and McCain’s disrespect for Obama.  He ignored Obama during the debate, and referred to Obama as “that one.”  

There’s also the fact that McCain chose Sarah Palin – a “crazy” candidate.

Ultimately, Miguel believes Obama is the candidate who can guarantee not to do more of the same, more of what we’ve seen from the current administration.  Obama is the candidate who can bring change. 

Miguel still plans to follow the campaigns until the end, and will tune into the last presidential debate that takes place next Wednesday.
