Opinion: Sarah Palin's Speech

In Sarah Palin's speech, she accepted the duties of being picked as John McCain's running mate. In watching the video of Sarah Palin's speech, viewers can also see her appreciation for Sen. John McCain and how McCain said that he would rather lose an election than see the United States to lose a war. Palin then went on to bash Obama by stating that he basically does not have what it takes to run a country and has no experience. This will no doubt set the Democratic Party in a steer over what was said about Obama.

I have written a lot of news articles on what I like to call "political naughtiness." Political naughtiness is a term used for when the presidential campaigns continue to bash each other by smearing their good name. We have seen this back and forth from Obama and McCain, and now we are seeing it again from Palin.

The reason they try to smear each others names is to try and pursue the way the voters will vote when it comes time. This presidential election has already made history with Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama being the first woman and first black person to ever run for president and make it that far and now Palin has made United States history as being the first woman to ever be elected as a running mate. It seems that this year with so much history being made that they could come up with something better to do than to talk down on each other.

As a voter and a citizen, I believe, and so do many other Americans, that the downgrading is getting ridiculous. I was actually glad when Obama made the statement saying that a person's family should not be attacked and should not be an issue in this presidential nomination.

It seems that the media has been following Sarah Palin and her family around and making bashing comments about them but the truth is that the media and most everyone wants to know who everyone is that might be helping to run this country. I can understand the busy bodies and why they are trying to dig a little deeper into their personal lives. I, for one, do not want someone to run my country if they have a lot of webs in their closet.
