One of the good things about being in the U.S. is that we have this great opportunity to be able to follow one of the most interesting presidential elections in the world. So much money spent, so much talk, gossip, words, rumors, lies, strategies, tensions; so little content. Pretty much the average American TV show!
The recent trend in television is characterized by numerous successful series like 24, Lost, or Prison Break, that thrill our senses and keep us busy wondering for the rest of the week what will be happening next week. Here, we have two superstars and an intense promotional campaign monopolizing the attention.
Analysts keep saying that people focus on personality rather than content. Unfortunately for our two runners, there seem not to be any real answer to the current financial turmoil; this explains why both of them have been avoiding answering the questions and just repeated that greedy investors from Wall Street are evil... pretty demagogic.
As pretty much anybody from outside the U.S., I tend to support Barack Obama rather than McCain, because I think it is high time to have someone who would think twice before invading a country as leader of the most powerful country of the world. Many comparisons with the Great Depression and the actual financial crisis have arisen; at this time, America was down on its knee, and what brought it up again was.. WWII! Hopefully, this won't be the remedye again.
