Barack Obama

I've been basically ignoring the political world for awhile. It's been bugging me, and annoying me, and I'm just ready to cast my vote already. I'm tired of fighting about what I believe in around my life. I'm tired of feeling like I'm defending my beliefs 24/7 to my co-workers (which is honestly, what happens at work anytime something about politics comes up). I'm just ready for this to be over with...so that WHEN Barack Obama wins this election...some things can start changing in this country.

I'm a support of Obama...yes. And, its not because he's a democrat. It's not because he's an amazing speaker (although, really, he is). It's not because I believe he can do more than McCain can (although, I do). I support Barack Obama because he cares about people...all people. He wants this country to be what it was back in the days when we were respected throughout the world, and looked up to, and a country where people wanted to come because their dreams could come true. I think Obama believes in that, and believes we can go back there.

I hate partisan politics. If you think about it...both sides want the same thing. We want our freedom, we want the opportunity to be successful and make our dreams come to. All of us! Republicans and Democrats. No matter how many people say Republicans don't care about people, I don't necessarily believe that. I think they do...it's just they don't wear it on their sleeves, and they like keeping their money to themselves more often than not. But, that doesn't mean they don't care about people. I just happen to be one who believes that Democrats, most of the time, are willing to put aside some of their life benefits in order to help those people. Republicans just talk about it!

Anyway...I'm getting ahead of myself. I really just wanted to post this article on here for you to read, if you feel so inclined to. Yea, maybe it's liberal media...but I believe what this article says. It's the first step into politics I've taken for about a month now. It reminds me how much I do like Barack Obama. So, read if you'd like!
