The Unchosen One

We’ve all heard that this is going to be the single most imortant election in recent history. Americans need to make a tough decision as to who will lead this country for the next four years. I agree that this is an important election and I only have one question for my audience.

Why would you vote for Barack Obama?

After the post convention bounces, it seems as though Obama is leading in most of the major polls and pulling away. I have begun to consider the fact that Obama may become the next president. As I think about that fact, I begin doing more and more research on Obama. The more I research, the more I ask myself, ‘Why in the world would anybody vote for this guy?’

To begin I would like to share with you that he has not accomplished anything significant since entering the political scene. We all know by now that he was a community organizer. Okay, good. He was trying to make a difference, and I applaud that. What were his big accomplishments while working as an organizer? He increased the staff that worked at the organization from one to thirteen, and was able to increase the budget for the organization. I should mention too, that he only worked as a community organizer for three years, while the campaign tries to make it seem as though he has made a career out of working as a community organizer.

He then moved on to Harvard where he worked on his law degree. Good for him. Again, I applaud his ambition of trying to better himself. What did he do after that? He worked as a lecturer for twelve years at the University of Chicago Law School. This position however was a front. The University of Chicago lured him there, knowing that he was wanting to work on a book he was writing. He took the position, knowing that he would be able to focus his work on the piece he was writing. For a minute I thought he wanted to teach to give back to the community. He took much time off to continue to solely focus his attention on himself.

He then ran for the Illinois Senate. While in office his big accomplishment was to help gather support for legislation. He brought people together to support somebody else’s ideas. Again, good job. He has not authored any major piece of legislation while in office. He has supported other people’s important ideas, but has not offered any of his own. While he couldn’t find time to write any significant legislation, he found time to run for office for the U.S. House of Representatives, and the U.S. Senate. He ended up losing the race for House of Representatives.

Moving on the the U.S. senate, I learned that there wasn’t any competition to earn the seat. The seat he was running for was vacated by a senator who did not wish to run for the office again, and neither did the next leading candidate. He ended up running against a candidate that withdrew from the race three months before the election. It is no wonder that he was given the seat. As a current member of the U.S. Senate he has been labeled the most liberal senator. If that wasn’t enough for you, he teamed up with Joe Biden, the third most liberal senator, to run for President. What a ticket! While in office, he still has yet to author any significant piece of legislation (which is his job), but has found the time to write a book. That seems a little bit odd to me. What else has he done in his first term as a senator? Well he has been spending the second half of his term running for Preisdent. So to me it seems as if he spent the first half writing a book, and the second half running for President. What a good job he has done. He has done such a good job at avoiding actual work, that now America wants to reward him by giving him the most powerful job in America.

I am begging America to look at the facts, and find out what you are supporting. Obama has spent his whole career, trying to promote his career. He hasn’t accomplished anything. The only thing he has done is occasionally vote yes or no on a bill that has been presented to him. How can the American people feel comfortable voting for that? On top of that he and his running mate feel socialism is totally fair. They are promoting a tax policy of tax the rich more and tax the poor less (which decreasing taxes on poor or middle class people won’t happen). Joe Biden has said that it is not redistribution of wealth, but it is doing what is fair.

Do you know what that says to me? They want you to work to become successful in life, but don’t become too successful because thats not fair if you are too successful. And because you were so unfair and so successful they are going to have to take action and make things fair again. They are going to take your unfairly earned money, and give it to the people that really should have earned it. That makes things fair again. What a great policy!

Why vote for Barack Obama?
