Reasons to be political…

     With much talk about the 2009 presidential campaign lurking over our shoulders. We still desire the need to form politically correct ideas.  Many people are torn between Democatic and Republican party nominations. However, when factors are overlooked suggesting us to open our eyes to what is realy happening to the economical and social structure of the United States. We seem blind, and often overlook the important issues that face us as a nation.  The amazing thing is that the general public does not always see so clearly when behavior exhibits lack of moral concern.  Why be political?  During the national Republican convention it was reported that the wife of Senator John McCain spent an estimated $313,000 dollars on wardrobe and accessories.  This comes as no surprise to the millions of displaced workers who can barely afford the cost of commuting to search for jobs.  Over half of the funding allotted for wardrobe could have been used to help fund art programs in schools that struggle with keeping music, art and culture alive.  Oscar De La Renta definitely would not have been devastated, nor culturally starved if Mrs. McCain decided to make a formal debut in a classic little number from Target.  We can not forget the beautifully crafted garments Senator Barack Obama’s wife wore at the Democatic National Convention.  On closing night of the Democratic National Convention Michelle Obama gracefully showed the world that fashion can kill, as she “walked the runway” with here husband–”Fashion is just a gesture,” words once quoted from Anna Wintour, chief editor of Vogue Magazine U.S.  This reassures us that we as a nation continue to run the gauntlet of public scrutiny.  This presidential campaign is about the people, and not traditional politics.  History must be made and this gives American people enough reasons to be political.
