The result of 2008 American Presidential election will be reveled after November 4th. As a Taiwanese, I feel not so strongly related to it. After I am not American, my words, my thoughts won't matter. However, on the other hand, America as the most power country , also known as World Police. It is extremely important for almost everyone who lives on this planet. To be honest, you will never know ,maybe one day, one decision made by Americans will change your country, you life. Imagine, one day American tell Chinese it is okay to attack Taiwan.... Under this kind of fear, I have been told it is more beneficial for Taiwan if Republican get the office. They would lean more to Taiwan.
The election at 2000, I remember I was trill to find out that George W. Bush got elected. At the time, I thought it might be better for Taiwan. The fact is, nothing changed . Everything remains the same like the Clinton's time. Party shifting doesn't mean much. Of course, it will be a bit different but nothing drastic. At least not in eyes. It makes me wonder, if it doesn't matter much who takes office, then maybe we should really look into their economic, education, social welfare policy, etc.
This year, I start to pay more attention into American President election. Mostly because we are facing the greatest repression after 1920. Even till now, none can make a solid conclusion why the great depression happened in 20's, not to mention the one we are facing now. We are at our new "low". However most of us fear that this is not the darkest time yet. The worst is on its way about to come. At such a chaos time, we need someone who cares about us not the lobbyists, speaks for us, not for the big corporation, knows what we need, not what the top10% need. For some reason I can really see this quality in Obama. Yes, it could all be a very successful campaign. This will all be another campaign slogan.
This might be a weird analogy, but I can really see the similarity in Obama's campaign and communism.This probably is going to cause a lot of confusion and misunderstanding. After all, people who grow up with capitalism often intimated by communism. But what I meant here is not about that, I meant the power to affect you, the power to make believe. Yes, I want to believe. I want to believe that we can change, we can make a difference. No matter how many times, I have seen Obama's campaign, his foreign, energy, economic, education, tax policies and etc. I feel like I can see hope in America.
Lyrics-
It was a creed written into the founding documents that declared the destiny of a nation.
Yes we can.
It was whispered by slaves and abolitionists as they blazed a trail toward freedom.
Yes we can.
It was sung by immigrants as they struck out from distant shores and pioneers who pushed westward against an unforgiving wilderness.
Yes we can.
It was the call of workers who organized; women who reached for the ballots; a President who chose the moon as our new frontier; and a King who took us to the mountaintop and pointed the way to the Promised Land.
Yes we can to justice and equality.
Yes we can to opportunity and prosperity.
Yes we can heal this nation.
Yes we can repair this world.
Yes we can.
We know the battle ahead will be long, but always remember that no matter what obstacles stand in our way, nothing can stand in the way of the power of millions of voices calling for change.
We have been told we cannot do this by a chorus of cynics...they will only grow louder and more dissonant ........... We've been asked to pause for a reality check. We've been warned against offering the people of this nation false hope.
But in the unlikely story that is America, there has never been anything false about hope.
Now the hopes of the little girl who goes to a crumbling school in Dillon are the same as the dreams of the boy who learns on the streets of LA; we will remember that there is something happening in America; that we are not as divided as our politics suggests; that we are one people; we are one nation; and together, we will begin the next great chapter in the American story with three words that will ring from coast to coast; from sea to shining sea --
You can't say she is amazing...I mean she is okay but that is it!She is that kind of girl who plays at the local little crappy indie pub where smells like cigarette, sells cheap booze. People who hang there are all younger than 28 with no exception. Use something Marge would say" There are filled with nice fat girls who can't afford being mean. To be honest, I don't like Marge, no..that is not true. Truth be told, I don''t really know Marge. How can you dislike someone you don't even know? Somehow Marge got this miraculous power which would trigger people's unpleasant feelings toward her.
