Presidental Candidates

Relating to a previous posts about the financial crisis and the Presidential candidates, a clear contrast to the leadership abilities and style surfaces between the candidates. While both McCain and Obama said they are likely to vote for the $700 billion bailout plan, there approaches were very different. Obama took a more passive, measured approach, favoring to use the philosophy of using more than one mind when examining the situation. Where as McCain took a head on attack halting his campaign to go to Washington to deal with the issues directly. McCain went as far as to call for replacing the Security and Exchange commission president, Christopher Cox. I'm sorry but the image of McCain swooping in, halting his campaign to save the day is a little too much to swallow. Even republican politicians remarked that McCain didn't even leave an imprint on the bailout plan legislation, creating a phony image, which comes of as a gimmick that sadly may people are likely to buy. The differences between the candidates style is clear. McCain is going to take an aggressive approach, hoping to exert raw political power to achieve is motives. Reflecting the structured combative past in the Navy. In contrast to Obama who will take a more gauged, calculated approach, which in consequence at times looks like a slow reaction. I only hope that voters can see the vast differences and vote accordingly.

Globalization

The full ramifications of the global market place arise out of the Finance Crisis, with the news that foreign banks may receive a bailout from the U.S Treasury Department. The theory is that the major foreign banks operating in the U.S, qualify for the United States tax payers money as they have a major stake the lives of Americans and consequently our economic future. Protecting the "system" is the call of duty. Secretary Paulson and Federal Reserve chairmen Ben Bernanke told congressmen that the legislation is necessary to return stability. As necessary as it is to protect the economic future for Americans, it is aggravating that were paying the price for uncontrollable greed from millionaire executives. These executives, with enormous salaries are getting saved, and I don't think they will even muster up an appropriate thanks. The legislation outlining this clause is likely to pass thorough congress, with experts saying huge margins. Heres to Globalization.

Gatorade

Recently I have noticed the tremendous variety of Gatorade sports drinks. For example, there is the regular Gatorade with the traditional offerings of Lemon Lime, Fruit Punch and Orange. Gatorade A.M, I don't know what ingredients made the distinction of an A.M sports drink, nevertheless a great marketing idea. Performance Gatorade, Tiger Gatorade with added electrolytes, and G2 featuring less calories. Oh but the list goes on. Gatorade Rain, Fierce, Extremo, X-factor and Frost. Each with specific concoctions of flavors. What makes a Frost, from a Rain, from a Tiger, who knows. All I know is that they are good.

Politcal Ad's

We have all seen political ads countless times, and there can be no doubt American's will have the misfortune to see countless more in the upcoming weeks leading up to the Presidential election on November 4th. The content of the ads are erroneous and have little to the with the actual issues the country is facing. For example, the ad in which McCain compares Obama to Paris Hilton and Britney Spears, only serves as a distraction from more important issues. Even former Bush adviser Carl Rove said that McCain has gone 'too far' in some of his ads. Now that says something. The Obama campaign has accused senator McCain of "cynically running the sleaziest and least honorable campaign in modern presidential campaign history." However, from a political standpoint the ads are benefiting McCain in an American institution of negative attacks with well established roots. Obama contents that McCain and vice president candidate Sara Palin of avoiding the issues, focusing instead on distorting his record. The media frenzy surrounding these ads are a unexplainable phenomena within themselves. My perspective regarding the ads coming from both sides are that they are lies, with desperate attempts of persuasion. At such a critical crossroad in history, with the future of the United States the subject, I believe its time to show a little more prudence and maybe have a intelligent conversation if only for the sack of variety.
