Hard work of being a presidential candidate by Zuzana Fabcinova

After June, 3, when Barack Obama passed 2118 delegate mark and became the Democratic presumptive nominee, political struggle between him and Republican John McCain, who remained last two candidates, is getting sharper and sharper. As November (and the day that will decide) approaches, both candidates for the post of successor of George Bush are trying to present themselves from as beneficial view as possible and at the same time, they do their best to defeat their rival. That doesn't only mean talking about advantages their own plans, but also pointing at worse sides, sometimes even attacking plans of their opponent. It is not enough to concentrate on your own aims, first you have to do detailed analysis of goals of the second candidate and consequently you should represent everything what he is not and vice versa. Variety is simply good. Candidates had better present their opinions in the most visible way, possibly the most aggressive and make their ideas sound more important than they actually are. Accusing the opponents of not trying to bring the best to the nation is not out of the question. At the same time, nominees must act most politely and be on the best terms with their rivals.A bit confusing, to attack and accuse along with being polite and friendly. An incredibly tough work for both candidates. I wouldn't change with them. Maybe the reason is that I am not ambitious enough, I don't understand politics, economy and all the things required and the fact that is not so irrelevant is that I am too young. But if everybody had the same attitude, there would hardly be some politicians and presidential candidates. That could mean abolishing all elections. And that would conclusively lead to simplifying our lives.(Don't take this too seriously.)
