Starting from to-day in Denver is the Democratic Convention at which Barack Obama is to be invested as the Official Democratic Candidate for the USA Presidential Election. On Friday 22nd August, Barack Obama named his Vice Presidential Candidate, perhaps to the chagrin of many who expected a Obama-Clinton ticket.
Perhaps it was wise to have dropped Hillary Clinton as , the campaign for the nomination was long and hard with personal attacks to each other, which may in the long run in a close official relationship may have repercussions. And secondly it would be favourable to Hillary Clinton, not to be the Vice President now as it may affect her future campaigns for the Presidential elections of 2012.
Anyway, the choice has been made. The selection of Senator Joseph Biden who had been holding the position for 35 years, and his experience as the Chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee will stand well to make the Obama-Biden ticket to be favourably accepted by the Americans of all political and racial shades.
Joe Biden exudes energy and it would be a quality to match Obama’s more youthful exuberance, considering that septuagenarian Mc Cain’s would be hard put to contribute any thing different from what the Americans have had experienced through out the Presidential periods of Reagan or Bush. It is time that America looks at the world and its political systems with a new eye. It is time also that American politics of aggressive interference, pushing itself like a thug to change the world governments to follow the line demarcated by the American State Department ends.
If America is to be a world leader in the modern time with new political super powers like Russia, China,Iran and India coming into being, it has to change its hitherto followed outmoded policies. It has to change the system to one of generosity, acceptance, dialogue and friendly coexistence.
For this reason Obama-Biden ticket seems most suitable, and therefore, hope that the Americans change themselves to accept change without sticking to old hackneyed, deplorable ego centric world leadership mentality.
