Office Home And Student The Faculty Lounge Has te

A good friend of mine, who noticed that I had turn into significantly less partisan (on the Republican facet) and perhaps even a little more liberal, speculated that perhaps I had modified as a result of hanging about liberal faculty colleagues.  I suspect that the fiasco of the Bush Administration might have been more relevant- but at any rate, the exchange caused me to think about how my ten years as being a teacher,microsoft Office 2010 Activation, and my years as a practitioner before then,Microsoft Office 2007 Professional Plus, might have affected my politics.

I’m not sure my job affects how I view issues- but I do think it affects how I view individual personalities.  For example,Office 2010 Key, some of my nonlawyer acquaintances view President Obama as strange and exotic- inspriring to those that liked him, scary to the people who didn’t.

 But partially (I think) because of his background like a lawyer and law professor, Obama seemed to me far more familiar and much less exotic than most of his competitors.  I felt like I knew Obama after the first Democratic debate I saw: Mr. Generic Democratic Lawyer/Law Professor, a guy who could easily work three or four doors down from me,Office Home And Student, a man with conventionally liberal views who gets along by going along and rarely says anything surprising about issues. 

By contrast, Senator McCain, the former Navy pilot with a penchant for bold, unexpected (and sometimes stupid) decisions, struck me as the exotic, alien candidate.   There is nothing in my life that has prepared me to understand John McCain, or to predict what would happen in a McCain Administration.

Does this mean I was a lot more likely to vote for Obama than I would have before entering teaching?  Maybe not- familiarity breeds contempt, and I felt like I understood Obama’s weaknesses as will as his strengths.  But it does mean that for me personally,  he inspires far more apathy, and less fear or inspiration,Windows 7 Home Basic Key, than some other politicians.
