You know, allow me a minute to put aside the music videos, the gossip, the whatever.
I’ve not really explicitly stated my preference in politics. I pretty much try to stay away from the whole issue and keep my thoughts to myself. That said, I have never ever been as energized as I am about this country as I am in this time right now. This election has moved me on so many levels and has stirred up passion that I didn’t know I had.
I tuned in about halfway tonight to Barack’s 30 minute commercial (see above if you missed it as well) but the first thing I heard him say was “he was shaped more by his father’s absence” and the fact that his mother made him get up at 4 AM to do lessons and whatnot.
THAT right there is why I want to vote for this man. He just seems smarter, a breath of fresh air, and ready to take on the great challenge that is righting this country. I want to vote for him because I can relate to him. He is more reflective of my life than any other candidate of the history in American presidential hopefuls.
My view of politics is that “you always have to choose the lesser of two evils”, and while I may not agree with EVERYTHING he agrees with, the majority of the time I do. And that’s why I am voting for Barack Obama this weekend when I mail in my ballot.
Like Michelle Obama pretty much said, I am finally proud to be an American!

this man gives me shivers and goosebumps and makes me cry frequently. i absolutely love him. he is so smart and eloquent….and it makes mccain look so idiotic. this guy at work and i talk alot about politics, and we said that what we want someone thats smarter than us running the white house. i respect john mccain, but he is another republican . and you know he will die. old ass man. so do i think im smarter than sarah palin? FUCK YEAH. i dont think im smarter than obama. i love the fact that he was a product of a single mother. so am i. i love the fact that he lived in different countries. it shows that he will respect other countries. i love the fact that he put himself through school and understands hustle. because he will be empathetic with the fact that i want to go to school and will get my degree any way i can. i love the fact that he understands the need for better health care. i love hte fact that when i went to gay pride, his campaign was there supporting gay and lesbian families…just like i was. i love the fact that he understands a womans right to choose. i love the fact that he calls people out when he needs to. i love michelle, and her willingness to sacrifice her husband because she knows we need him. please vote please! lets make history

He makes me almost wish I was an American, so I could vote for him. He will be the best vote for not only Americans, but the world too.
He is a likeable, but not populist man. He seems intelligent, a strong man, a good father, a good leader. Vote Obama!

“them” anyway-bril, you bring shivers talking about the way he brings shivers! I love the way that community organizers rolls his sleeves up every time he deals with the people!
