I write about Sarah Palin's GOP speech that pissed me off and woke me from my nap after the second day of my freshman year in high school.
I have no respect for Sarah Palin. Tonight, Palin gave a speech that really pissed me off as a teenage and a strong support of Senator Barack Obama and Senator Joe Biden. Palin is no Hillary Clinton. In my opinion, I would want to see a first good black President instead of a first bad woman Vice President. I did not watch the speech but instead I was taking a nap after coming home from my second day of high school. I ended up listening to her speech from my bed. From what I heard tonight, she is not a Republican attack dog but a Republican attack woman.
John McCain and Sarah Palin is not the change that Americans are looking for. Senator Obama's speeches come from his heart and from what he has learned. Palin's 2008 Republican National Convention speech was written by President George W. Bush's speechwriter. If McCain Palin and McCain want to define ‘change’ as voting with George Bush 90% of the time, that’s their choice.
As a young American, I want to see America back like it was when President Bill Clinton was President of the United States of America. He was took office in 1993 and I was born later that year in November. Up until 2001, my family had no problems. But once President Bush was elected and took office, it was like hell was coming to America.
In four years from now, I want to finish high school and go to college to learn my political science degree. I really don't want to be an active member of the the Army or the DoD. I want to serve my country in another way then fighting for oil or the wrong reasons. If I could vote in November, my vote would go to the Obama/Biden ticket.
I have already lived 8 years in hell because of President Bush. I don't want to alive another 4 or 8 years of hell again. If America votes for McCain/Palin, then I don't know what I would do. We democrats have worked so hard on Obama's behalf. I just can't keep living this way and many Americans can't either too. One day, I vision that America will be lead by a President that truely cares. That man, I hope, will be Barack Obama.
