Obama-Biden Ticket & Dems Prepare For Convention

Yesterday Barack Obama announced that Delaware Senator Joe Biden would be his running mate as Vice President of the United States. While many Obama supporters feel he made the right choice, there is a lot of criticism coming from the Hillary supporters as well as democrats in general who believe that Joe Bidden was not the perfect choice for the VP slot. Biden has also been put under the spotlight for making remarks about Obama’s qualifications as a president back in 2007. The media has been eating it up like candy because it sort of makes Biden look like a hypocrite since he did accept the position as VP from Obama. I honestly think that when you’re in a race & you’re running against the other candidates, of course you will say whatever you feel is neccesary about your opponents in order to win. However I am human & still a bit skeptical because when I watched the remarks Biden made about Obama last year on FOX I thought to myself he did a complete 180 and has a different mind set now. All in all it looks as though the two have come together which is what really matters in the end, Biden must believe in Obama & feels he is able to work hard to bring change to America or he simply would have refused the offer. I also think it’s absurd that Hillary supporters are still complaining about Hillary not being on the ticket. Obama has the right to choose whoever he feels is right for the job & if he felt Biden is that person then so be it. We all just need to come together as democrats so that McCain will not win the White House in November. I honestly think the guy is crazy!! I would NOT feel comfortable with him making decisions for this country at all especially when it comes to the war in Iraq or facing any other obstacles with any enemies overseas. He does not seem like the kind of guy who would make good judgements for the better of this country and he is NOT in touch with the middle class working families let alone the poor & he frankly doesn’t care. NO matter what he says we all know the deal. But hey, hillary supporters will sacrifice not only their future but their kids future just because they didn’t get their way. So sad. What do you guys think about all of this? Do you feel that Obama made the right choice? Speak on it.

The Democratic Convention is under way as we speak and will officially kick off tomorrow ending on August 28. Bill Clinton along with his wife Senator Hillary Clinton are both expected to give speeches at the convention. Hillary will be asking her delegates to support Obama as well as asking for her supporters to jump onboard. For any political junkie this has got to be the most exciting & interesting moment in politics history. As we have our first African American male accepting the presidential nomination from the Democrats as well as all the controversy surrounding the split democrat party & their struggle to unite before November. It can’t get any better than this right? Keep it locked to CNN for all of the updates concerning the Convention and don’t forget to tune in for Obama’s acceptance speech on Thursday night.
