I Voted
Alright, I voted this morning before work, it took about 5 minutes. This has been the second election that I have been eligible for, but the first one that I was really proud to take part in. Voting today made me feel like a little kid again, when you’re required to do the pledge of allegiance everyday and sing the national anthem in school. I felt very proud to be an American; I have actual hope that the next person in the White House will be someone who exudes “intelligence” and “sound judgment”. Someone who speaks to the rest of the world, they might look at him and think “Maybe Americans aren’t so bad”.
I think that separate from any policy, or tax cut, the President should come off as the MOST qualified person in the world to speak on your behalf to the rest of man kind. When you see him on TV addressing the world you should be thinking “hell yea, that’s my President, knock ‘em dead”; not “Jesus, is he drunk?” or “I hope the rest of the world realizes we’re not all like that”.
Although a President’s policies are paramount, I think that people underestimate the importance of their persona. The way they keep their composure, the way they deal with tough questions, and even the way they spin the truth in their favor (every politician does this) all have a great affect on how America is viewed by both friends and enemies. With my candidate in office I feel confident that they will represent all of us well each time they open their mouth to speak. I know that in any other situation, whether this person was your lawyer, your kid’s teacher, or your boss at work he’d still be someone who you could trust, someone who you’d respect, someone you could believe in to do the right thing. I am definitely looking forward to the next 4 years.
