The last few weeks with what has happened in the financial world, we have actually found out what was the essence of the Bush directive: Wait and it will be corrected alone. The amazing thing is that there are people who actually believed it and waited and they are ready to do so for another eight years.
Another amazing thing is that this Bush directive was followed in every single issue making you wonder how the hell public health and insurance could work it self, while the only ones who have it are the ones who have the money to have it. And it didn’t stop there but it expanded in education, in employment making the poor poorer and more unemployed and homeless. The democracy of the United States of America found troubles even in its foundations with a president who ignored even basic human rights in the name of a war in the wrong place.
The war against terrorism became a personal war against Saddam and later transformed into a war for profit with all the American companies that the family Bush or the Cheney’s had investments or interests to make unbelievable profits, the same time hundreds of thousands of Iraqis were killed and hundreds of American soldiers. American soldiers that were not killed to defend American soil or their land, American soldiers keep dying in Iraq defending Bush’s and Cheney’s companies while their families back in the state endanger of losing everything because of the unbelievable handling of the economy.
And there is a man who tries to become the next President of the United States promising to follow this directive, the George W. Bush directive the very same one that Palin, McCain’s running mate, ignored when questioned in an interview.
The American electoral system is a bit strange for us who vote straight for our prime minister or president and varies from state to state leaving a lot of room of all kind of cheats and tricks and far more room to lawyers, after all that’s how Bush managed to beat Al Gore. But the last elections proved that the young people and the poor have a voice and now the numbers are bigger and the tricks the Republican Party has used are known so what is left is for the American people to practise their right aware of the obligation they carry towards the whole world, obligation to hope and change.
The last two weeks we saw everywhere from the campaign to the news even in blogs what it means a dirty war and Goebbels propaganda methods; McCain supporters and the Republican Party has used everything. Despite all the talk about the reverent who supposedly influence Barack Obama there is still a 40% in the state of Texas who believe that Obama is a Muslim there for an enemy. These are the people who vote for McCain and makes you wonder if that’s the icon America wants to show.
Here in Ovi magazine we know that over 40% of our readers are from the USA and we hope that they can see the reason for voting a candidate who among others can take care of the people and not private companies, we hope that the American people remember that the American constitution starts with the words, ‘we the people’ so they can elect for president the man who is from the people to the people and among everything else he is one of them and understands them.
A man who doesn’t think that a plumber makes more than 250k a year, I’m sorry but when somebody makes these sort of money he is not a plumber but the owner of a company that hires for pennies plumbers and uses them to make this sort of money. A man who understands the need of national health insurance because his very own mother had to fight for it on her death bed and a man who has worked and hasn’t lost the count of how many houses he owns.
It’s the day for the American people to make a use of their day off, for the students to practise and learn democracy it is the time for the people to say no to the Bush and McCain gang. Most of all they have to start this wave of hope for a change that will spread to the whole world and bring hope from the refugee camps in Darfur until the starving people of Congo and Zimbabwe or the neighbourhoods of Paris and Warsaw even in Tokyo.
