You Trust Larry Don't Ya?

Hi-ya Folks! Larry Earl here to tell ya a little about this up coming election and maybe i'll cut ya a deal on that Ford Taurus over there!  

With the 2008 political election on its way, two mavericks from different cultural backgrounds, in the United States, are competing for the race to the white house. Hi folks!  Well here's a little information on me; my name is Larry Earl Buttgrinder and I'm here to give you guys a little info on the two candidates that are running this November.  Now I've been working in my daddy's garage for the last 35 years and I've seen some pretty fancy things in my time, but whooee.... these boys take the cake.  I don't know too much about government, however, I know a lot about cars and trucks.

These candidates have been working like machines and living on the road for many months gaining support from all over the country.  Now I don't know much about fancy schools or anything like that, but I've been selling used cars off of the corner of Niagara Falls Blvd. for some time now and I've seen some things in my time--Lemmie tell ya somethin'. 

In some aspects these political titans represent an automobile. Barack Obama is comparable to the new 2008 Dodge Challenger R/T, where as John McCain is similar to your grandfather’s 1968 Lincoln Continental Mark III. When the November election reaches it final lap these two American classics are going to come flying off the highway and only one is going to make it to the White House.

Obama is metaphorically comparable to the new 2008 Dodge Challenger R/T because of its sleek, new era design, which is guaranteed to turn heads. The media has been talking about Barack Obama ever since he was elected senator for Illinois. When this new aged muscle car comes down the road you’ll hear him coming. You see that fresh coat of paint, hear roaring of the motor, and you think “I want that in black.” Although color is just a feature its what’s under the hood that really counts. Obama’s main objective is foreign policy, believing in political negotiations, and coming to terms with other countries. Considering he is a new American sport model, other European and Japanese models might be skeptical about his ideas. His plan about the War in Iraq has everyone hyped up on his “promise to the nation” to end the war after putting so many miles on it already. Obama's car is able to avoid propaganda with those “Rev. Jeremiah Wright” slow Sunday driver’s. By maintaining focus on the campaign he passes on by simply giving a friendly wave and smile. Having beaten that Chevy Diesel 3500 Silverado pickup truck, Hillary Clinton, in the Democratic Derby, Obama has managed to hop in the fast lane to the November Election. With barley a winter’s worth of driving, voters and delegates are concerned about what this model has to offer for the country. It looks great in the driveway, it’s fun to ride, but how is this model going to handle come the harsh seasons the country has to endure. Another one of Obama’s drawbacks is not having someone riding shotgun with him. How is one to manage the democratic election without a running mate? Whomever he chooses as a running mate, he is entitled the “pink slip” for the white house.

With the pealing vinyl top and all the original parts, John McCain is a perfect representation of your grandfather’s 1968 Lincoln Continental Mark III. One of the older generations of luxury cars, heads still seem to turn when he rolls into church every Sunday. McCain a war hero and a leader by heart, making him an excellent candidate for the upcoming election. His promising theme, “change is coming,” warms every delegate’s heart, but still isn’t guaranteed under warranty. Considering what the country has been through in the last decade, maybe change is a necessity. Being a prisoner of war, he has experienced many miles in combat, and has the scratches on his bumper to prove it. His views on the War in Iraq are similar to Obama’s, nevertheless; he wants to ensure victory of the U.S. Though the fluids have been changed constantly and the tires have been rotated, the car has definitely seen better days. McCain may have seen many upstate winters and has had enough flat tires to fill a junkyard, but seeing how your grandfather still puts that final coat of wax on it every time, why bother selling it for scraps? 

If McCain doesn’t win your vote with his loud muffler, his running mate will. Being stored in a Northern Alaskan Garage Sarah Palin is every American, soccer mom’s, dream ride. Like the new 2008 Honda Pilot, with all those features, moms and politicians love, insures quality of control of the driver. Coming standard, it seats eight for those ever-expanding families and is great on gas, considering she’s in the heart of oil country. McCain’s political campaign is as strong as a V8 engine giving him much potential to ensure victory for presidency.

Obama and McCain are two very unique individuals who are perusing a job as the next president of the United States. This is an earned position and should not be taken for granted, no matter how these political advocates speak to the people. Driving up a hill shouldn’t be a chore for the next candidate. Whoever takes the presidency should always put their best foot forward and put the people first! 

A car is a car to some people’s perspective, getting them from point A to point B. Considering what this country has been through the last eight years, a nice calm ride though the country would be pleasant.
