The Next American President (Part2)

I couldn’t consider this a political Blog if I didn’t write anything thing about the Barrack Obama Victory and Official Candidacy for the U.S Presidency. It’s nice to know that this tiring saga, also known as the Democratic Primaries, is finally over and that we’re a step closer to the end. Ah… The end… That point where the ‘Commander in Chief’ title has moved on to a successor. That point in time when George W. will begin to focus on writing a book. It’s an important point in time to say the least.

It might be too early to say that Obama will become the next U.S President, but if I were I gambling man (which I am on occasion) I’d put my money on the Democrat. I have mentioned several times, possibly in other articles but definitely in conversations dating back to December, that the Democratic Candidate is going to be the next President of the United States – Go Obama!

I’ll be the first to say that I’m surprised Hillary lost. I will take the honest route and say that I’m happy she’d lost, the main reason being that I personally prefer Obama for a variety of reasons, which I can only sum-up as “Closer to my personal views”. I truly believe that Obama will do great things as the U.S President, and that while he is occupying the ominous role of 'Leader of the Free World' he will surely take a (very much needed) different approach to matters concerning the ‘World’, both internationally and domestically.

It goes without saying that the fact Obama & Hillary had such a lengthy race created a situation where focus was constantly on the Democratic Party. An interesting thing to think about regarding this point, is whether or not there were interparty discussions and/or future planning, focused on the question – ‘How to take full advantage of the way things are developing?’

One immediate example that I can think of has to do with the selection of the Democrats ‘Vice President’. Now, this seems to be the main focus in the media: “Will it be Hillary?” – and even the existence of the ‘Dream Ticket’ (as a phrase) strikes me as a premeditated concept. I might be wrong about this, as this is merely speculation, but maybe Barrack Obama and Hillary Clinton (including some executive staff members) had been meeting since February, deliberating on how to make sure the Democrat will win in November.

Another example would be the fact that Hillary had made sure every single state had voted, there could be a variety of reasons, beyond the glimmer of hope she had of winning the nomination, to keep the race going until the end. Again, the media focusing almost entirely on the Democratic race, leaving McCain & the Republican party in the shadows.

With that said, if she doesn’t get the VP Nomination there simply can’t be any truth to my speculations. But what would be more disturbing than my blunder (at least for me on a personal note) is that by running with anyone other than Hillary Clinton, Barrack Obama will be opening the door for John McCain. In other words, it seems to me as though the Democrats have everything going for them and by announcing that Obama & Clinton will share the ticket they can pretty much seal the deal.

As a final note for what has turned out to be a bizarre essay, I wanted to congratulate Obama for the Nomination and to say that I personally hope he will be 'The Next U.S President'. You can also take this as an official Barrack Obama endorsement by the Ziggy Articles staff of one.

Let the betting begin...
