Its Going to Happen

Today is the last day of September, and in two days the Vice-President Debate will take place in St.Louis, Missouri. I am really excited for this debate as well because its another chapter in the books. Last week I was interviewed by FOX 21 News and they asked me what I was looking forward in this Election and basically why I was going to vote. I told them that no matter what happened in this election I just hope that the president really steps up his game. I want a president that will fight for the people and not against the people. I want a president that will help us save rather than help us spent. I want a president that I can ultimately trust so that I don't hide in emotional distress. 

The reporter actually told me to specify my passion for politics, and they found kind of wierd that a 19 year old actually was passionate about politics, and to be honest with you, I never really knew that I was really into politics until September 11 happen. So I explained to her the process of how I got involved in political youth movements and how politics for me is a piece of bread in the morning. I also realized that in my culture, there are not that many of us that are really involved in these movements, because we are scared of judgements. 

"It is hard to handle my life right now," I told the reporter, because of the mere reason that I love creating change but it is hard when you have all these policies to follow created by society and or social structure. She could not believe those words were coming out my mouth. Overall the interview went very well. She was so supportive, something I needed. 

After this past weekend I could not believe what I had witnessed. And I probably still can't. When I came back to school people were really excited to talk about the debate. It was so great to tell them how it was and what I had witnessed. I told them how I wished my friends were there to witness it with me.

The policies that Obama and McCain disscussed were asked very directly and well. But to be honest it surprised me, and this is from my personal opinion, that they were just blaming each other. That reaction did not just come from me but a lot of the viewers as well. Obama still thinks we are not safe, but now thinks we should send more troops to Afghanistan, and McCain thinks that we should send more troops to Iraq. Well at least that is what I got from it. I know that the debates are going to get better , as it winds up to November 4. But let's see this thursday how it all works out for Joe Biden and Sarah Palin.

Muchas Gracias y Adios!
