Ronaldo, Maradona, Barack Obama and John McCain

Posted by mcdamas on June 16th, 2008

Every of us knows who these four figures; Ronaldo, Maradona, Barack Obama and John McCain are. Ronaldo, a young talented aggressive and dynamic Spanish soccer player, is certainly the most stared at when playing the ball along the green grass. He always has a great instinct to make a goal. Every ball caught in his feet is surely making a score, be it to deceit the opponents and break through the opponent’s area closing to goal keeper or to make a free kick. Ronaldo always attracts the spectators’ amazement. Handclaps and standing ovation are always orchestrated to support him. He is the play maker in which without him the Spanish team is out of performance. He is the inspiring figure. With him his team mates are inspired to perform their best. He is the field ruler in which his presence on the green grass field brings hope and optimism.

On the other hand, Maradona, an old fat bulging sluggish veteran drug addicted Argentine soccer player, is no more of play maker but rather a sensation maker. His presence in the grass field is mostly intended to entertain. He is no more goal maker. He even is not inspiring at all. What he is doing when playing soccer now is just to show off that he used to be a great player. Every time he performs, he merely tries to remind public about his glory in the past. Nothing’s more.

Barack Obama is just like Ronaldo: talented, inspiring, dynamic, aggressive, goal oriented. He has a good instinct to make the best for the people. He triggers the people’s spirit to awaken and win the life. He contaminates the sense of possibility and optimism to all young people from all walks of life around the world. He offers freshness and coolness. He is the real inspirator. His simple and plain style with his down-to-earth personality exactly represents the world majority. His multi blood and culture existence is just the perfect blend of the world representative in the White House. He is the man of the century.

John McCain is just like Maradona; sluggish, sensational and veteran. He stands up in the nomination just to show off that he still exists. He is not inspiring at all and nothing can be brought by him but his glory of the past. He tries to invite public to recall what he has done because the public have already forgotten. He wants public to see what his role in Vietnam, in the Army and in the Bush administration which all cause misery and cry. He is no more to serve the best for the country but to get the last chance to earn from the country. Under his administration, what can public hope then? “Give me the last term to be in the office” campaigns McCain.

“Ask the people what you can give to them. Do not ask them what they can give to you”. So, who deserves to sit on the throne of glory now: Ronaldo or Maradona, Barack Obama or John McCain? Consult to your conscience to get the answer!
