Barack Obama wins Democratic nomination finally.

Well, an African-American has finally done what many thought was near impossible - grab the nomination of a major political party for President of the United States of America. It may have taken him a long time, but Barack Obama has finally done it.

Senator Hillary Clinton signaled that she is interested in becoming Obama’s running mate. People who watch the US political atmosphere say that if Obama accepts Hillary as his running mate, the Democratic Party will have a better chance versus McCain and the Republican Party come November’s vote.

Personally, I believe that Americans are wise enough to see that McCain is a better choice for President then Obama. Why? Simple: While Barack (and Clinton for that matter) were waving back and forth when it came to policy while they were members of the US Senate, McCain was firm and rarely compromised during his membership. It’s likely that the winner of the vote in November will act the same way they did as when they were a Senator. America needs a firm President, who will get stuff done, and not some person who will be able to be swayed by the best speaker. That is what I think America needs in the next President.
