You couldn’t get a job at McDonalds and become district manager after 143 days of experience.
You couldn’t become chief of surgery after 143 days of experience of being a surgeon.
You couldn’t get a job as a teacher and be the superintendent after 143 days of experience.
You couldn’t join the military and become a colonel after a 143 days of experience.
You couldn’t get a job as a reporter and become the nightly news anchor after 143 days of experience.
BUT….

‘From the time Barack Obama was sworn in as a United State Senator, to the time he announced he was forming a Presidential exploratory committee, he logged 143 days of experience in the Senate.
That’s how many days the Senate was actually in session and working.
After 143 days of work experience, Obama believed he was ready to be Commander In Chief, Leader of the Free World, and fill the shoes of Abraham Lincoln, FDR, JFK and Ronald Reagan. 143 days?
We all have to start somewhere. The senate is a good start, but after 143 days, that’s all it is – a start.

AND, strangely, a large sector of the American public seems to feel comfortable with this and campaigning for him.

We wouldn’t accept this in our own line of work, yet some are OK with this for the President of the United States of America ?

Come on folks, we are not voting for the next American Idol.

It took a little while before we knew about him,
And not because of his crossover in the local gym,
She was a mayor of a town nine thousand strong,
Two years living in a mansion it didn’t take as long.

A no nonsense graduate of prestigious Harvard Law,
Community service, state senator, you mean that’s all?
On the other hand, overnight sensation, shinning star,
In the political arena this one’s predicted to go very far.

So, exactly what is the difference between these two?
One dons a suit the other a dress yet both wear shoes,
Is this the reason one will win and the other will lose?
A billion dollars spent surely this isn’t why we’ll choose.

The answer lies on the surface it’s not hidden underneath,
Maybe it’s how fast they do or do not move with their feet,
This couldn’t be the reason or can we really be that dumb?
Why are more Americans is singing the praises of only one?

Well, which one is that if you’re from Jupiter you might ask?
Does either of them have a particularly stellar experienced past?
Involvement in a big city with more than special interest needs?
Or, the biggest state as wildlife roams freely to graze and breed?

Issues are many, opinions already vary, whose wrong who’s right?
Both agree in defense of this great nation if there’s a need we fight,
Different areas but, it’s the same twenty-four hours day and night,
That for the year of our Lord in 2008 the answer is Black vs. White?

No way, it’s impossible, can’t be, I’m talking about these United States,
Is it or is it not a unified diversity a main reason this country is so great?
How could such a mighty nation become the strongest resting with hate?
Won’t a house divided against itself eventually suffer a destructive fate?

Let us not forget our other two candidates, show respect for John and Joe,
Realization is they’re not garnering votes for what they do or do not know,
In a horse race the winner claims first place who cares about place or show?
All candidates have one thing in common; forward they want America to go.

Approximately seven weeks before the polls open and it is time to elect,
It’s not just president but many will have state and local offices to select,
It’s best to vote for the people qualified instead the most popular for sure,
Because anything that happens afterward… Remember the choice is yours.

He’s seeking the highest office, for now she’ll accept second in command,
Hey! Wait a minute it might not be about color just a woman versus a man,
Whatever, time’s steadily inching ahead & never in reverse moves the clock,
So, right or wrong, Black vs. White, the chicken or the egg, Sarah or Barack?

Poems By Luke Easter

The question still is DO YOU CHANGE..
does the people of america really want change or do they want thing to continue…all the spin about the Lady VP. and who is better at this and that does not count…CHANGE..is about looking at what you have now..and where you are…and make the change..
