So everybody thinks that graduating magna cum laude from college, going to Harford college, and being an excellent speaker are all great qualifications for being president? Call me old fashion but I'm going more for the leadership from past experiences, knowledge in economics, and the overall best interest for our country when I will select a president this November. Perseverance, flexibility, and determination is what got me through college to graduate magna cum laude also. I give speeches everyday as part of my job as a teacher. Obama is a fantastic speaker, but he is promising the people unrealistic changes. The things he is proposing right now will take time and even elected another term of presidency he would probably still not get around to carry through with it. We are such a diverse country that there will be many people upset with whom ever wins the election this November. The smart thing to do is to just support which ever candidate wins. Protesting gets you no where. I know there is this thing called "Freedom of Speech" well face it, NOBODY wants to hear anybody complain on end about what someone said or did. The real issue here is that not everything in life is fair and everybody does not get what they want all the time. That's when those three words that I mentioned earlier come it: Determination, flexibility, & Perseverance.
