Who will be the next leader of the free world?

We already know Mr. Zardari is our President, I am referring to the US elections that are happening in 20 days, unfortunately the leader of the free world is a misnomer, but sometimes these things stick for no reason.

I have been following the build up to the elections in one way or another, sometimes willingly, and at other times, forced to by the media coverage. So we have seen a long drawn out democratic nomination battle between Ms. Clinton and Mr. Obama, and the lackluster republication candidate Mr. McCain. So here is what I think.

The republican candidates for president and vp are straight of out the medieval world. Ms. Palin would put our Jamia Hafsa ladies to shame, with her views on most everything. She thinks that the polar bears will start living on land once the ice melts after they drill the arctic for oil. Just for that, I love her. Thanks to her unwavering belief in god, if it is his will, the polar bears might learn to fly or swim to the Antarctica. She is the product of the neocons age, only god can help US (both the United States and us) when she becomes the President (the actuarial chances of Mr. McCain surviving the next few years being pretty low). As for him, he belongs to the old boys club, who will make sure that the rich get more and bigger tax breaks and everyone and everything else can go to hell.

The democratic candidate Mr. Obama seems a bit more interesting. He is not the typical African American, because he was born to a Kenyan student and American mother. Spent his early childhood in Indonesia with an Indonesian step father, came back to live with his grandparents and went to Harvard Law School. So he is not a brother from the streets of South Chicago. His nomination as the black presidential candidate is a first in the history of US, so its a small but significant step. Mr. Obama is trying very hard to shake off his dubious middle name of Hussein.

With the economy meltdown and Bush and the congress bailing out the financial market, a lot of Americans are very unhappy with the republicans and this shows in the recent opinion polls with Obama leading ten points ahead. The question is whether this will show in the actual polls.

My prediction is that it will not, and the republicans will have another four years in the white house. This is because of the dumbing down of the American society, thanks in part to two terms of Bush and born again Christians and Muslims in America and the rest of the world. My only worry is whether Ms. Palin can become the next President or not because I fear for Alaska and polar bears.
