I don’t know if you are the type of person who follows U.S. politics. The extent of my attention amounts to the occasional groan or hand-to-the-forehead when I hear what Bush did this time. Or what <insert politician here> is proposing next. That being said, I do have my radar tuned in to the electoral race. I can’t claim to have a favorite candidate - though at one point I was curious to see what, if anything, would come of Ron Paul’s efforts. Not much apparently.
Over the easter weekend, my brother mentioned that Obama had given a really good speech on race and politics. I found it yesterday on YouTube. It really is good, and after hearing it I couldn’t help but think that, between him, Clinton or McCain, I hope he wins it.

I listened to the entire video and it is a pretty good speech. I’m not too fond of politics in general though, so I was surprised he managed to keep my attention for the entire half hour. Out of the three candidates, he is the one I am rooting for.
One thing this video made me agree on (as well as any American political speech) is that I am really happy I live in Canada and not in the States. While we are two very close countries, I find the States to be too proud a country. I could be wrong about that, but it is my overall assumption from all the videos.
Vivre le Canada!
