Endorsing Reform
On this historic day in America, a lot of folks will reflect on where we have come in the past seven years. They will ponder lost love ones and how we will leave the world to loved ones yet to be born. This is an election year, and folks will be wondering who the next President will be. Will it be Barack Obama? Will it be John McCain? In this election, experience is being discussed at great length. Who has it, who doesn’t. The problem is that folks are focusing on the wrong experiences.
In this election, it’s not about which candidate does or does not have the best suits, or the best contacts or job history. This election is not about candidate experience at all.
The person whose experience matters most is: YOU.
What has the last eight years brought you and your family?
Are you worried about fuel prices? Has your house dropped in value? Can you afford to pay your bills? Do you have any money left to do anything else? Before 9/11, were you at risk for a terrorist attack? Are you or your family at risk for a terrorist attack now? Is the Global War on Terror making your world more or less safe? Does it matter if people in other countries love or despise Americans? Does killing people in other countries really make you more safe?
In the last eight years has your employer started sending jobs to other countries? What happens if we bomb countries where your jobs are being sent? Do people in other countries care if the job they have has put an American out of work?
Do you purchase goods that are not made in America? Do you love your country? Will electing a Republican REALLY bring change to Washington, DC? Is a longtime Washington insider REALLY going to reform ANYTHING?
This historic election will guarantee one thing: white men will finally lose the stranglehold of power in our country that they have been holding for over two-hundred years.
I am endorsing and voting for Barack Obama. If you want real reform and real change that will bring good experiences for YOU AND your FAMILY and not for the exclusive Republican elites in Washington, then you will vote for Barack Obama.

After the Palin interview last night, it’s so obviously more of the same. She can’t talk good in the same way Bush can’t.

I still can’t fathom the mentality that apparently half of this country holds that fears having someone smarter than them in charge. “He’s an elitist!” Well, um… yeah. Don’t you have to be just a little bit of an elitist to run for President of the United States? It really scares my how obvious our problems are and how blatantly obvious the well-lit, well marked road to solving them is; and yet half of our “great”nation is scared shitless of a (gasp) “black liberal” running our country. A dude who is planning on assembling his cabinet unbder the inspiration of Abe Lincoln’s advice: surround yourself with people who don’t agree with you. I still have faith and hope in my country- but if this race ends up as close as the media is predicting, th elittle hair I have left will be gone by the middle of November. It’s just plain sad and just plain scary.
