Having watched all of the debates and having followed the campaign analysis closely, I believe that I am not the only one who has seen the stark differences between Barack Obama and John McCain.<\/p>\n<p>Frankly, I don&#8217;t need a 72 year old to dictate my life&#8217;s future, regardless of his &#8211; dubious &#8211; military past and veteran status. While I have great respect towards war veterans, John McCain seems to be an artificial idol that did not earn the POW title by means of fighting like thousands of other Americans. The true POW veterans delivered Europe free from the Nazis and liberated nations with their sacrifice. John McCain simply came in and out of Vietnam as a career choice owed to his high military official father.<\/p>\n<p>But enough of John McCain, whose most flexible body part seems to be his eyebrows. In all the televised debates, Barack Obama maintained a relaxed stance, a non pretentious attitude and an honest &#8220;in your eyes&#8221; stare. He held his spouse, Michelle, and kissed her in public showing his true emotions; those of a family man that aimed for the American Dream and is about to conquer it and write history while doing so.<\/p>\n<p>This election will determine whether America moves forward, into the 21st century as a nation with a common dream: to raise from its 9-11 ashes like an eagle soaring into the skies. The fear, self-pity and hostility towards America from foes and former allies alike, will end once a respected man assumes the top spot in the country&#8217;s leadership. The statue of Liberty is the icon of freedom across the globe, signifying the land of opportunity and success. The youth of America must live in a country where they can pursue their dreams and hopes and aspirations; not in a country that rests in its own muddy shadow of a glorious past.<\/p>\n<p>Unification of the two major parties towards a common goal, towards success, towards hope, towards restitution of America cannot occur under John McCain. Barack Obama is the suitable choice and he is a man of integrity, culture and honesty. And as such, he can lift up America and lead it towards its leading place among the other nations of the world.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With less than 48 hours remaining before Election Day, it is evident that all along there has only been one candidate in this race.
