Home Stretch

Here we are. It's the home stretch of this year's election. I was excited about it, but now I just think I'm burned out on the whole thing. I'll be happy when it's all over with. Of course, I'm hoping for a certain outcome. But in the end, I just want it to be over. I watched the debates, which were boring. I've listened to their ideas and policies. I've seen the commercials. I'm tired of it all. I think the fact that the world series will be backing up it's start time for a thirty minute commercial really makes me want to wish it all away. What can he really talk about in thirty minutes that we haven't already heard? It's ridiculous. There is no reason for the overkill. It's not like we can really trust either candidate to change things. Their job is to make us believe that they have our best interests at heart, but they don't. They just want to get elected. I don't trust any politicians. Before this whole thing is over though, I do want white people to stop assuming that Blacks are voting for Obama only because he's Black. These are the same people who are voting for McCain because he's not Black. It's a blatant slap in the face. I'm proud of him for getting this far, but if he gets to office I fear for him. We'll really see how far this country has come in November. Until then, I wish it would all go away.....
