Mood:  d'oh

Let’s not make a mistake, I am supporting the Barack Obama/Joe Biden presidential ticket.

Admittedly, I was originally campaigning for John Edwards. I did not like Hilary Clinton, because I felt she lied when she originally ran for the junior New York State senate seat. She said she had no presidential aspirations. What? I saw a mile away that she did, and had no problem with it if she only had said it outright. I had nothing for or against Barack Obama, because I simply didn’t know him. I knew John Edwards from his previous presidential run, and liked him. Also, I liked that he had an average-sized, older  woman as a wife. (What? Like you don’t make some choices based on shallow reasons.) But after John Edwards dropped out of the race, I became a Barack supporter. 

I believe that Senator Obama can lead us out of the darkness of the past seven years that is George W. Bush. I believe he will get our soldiers out of a war that we should have never been in and are not winning. (Make no mistake, we duped into supporting this war. There were no weapons of mass destruction. There was no connection between 9/11/01 and Iraq. Osama bin Laden was not in Iraq.) 

I believe that Senator Obama will restructure the government’s policies and funds to help the citizens of the United States more. I believe that education, healthcare, social security, the housing crisis, and the economy crisis will be significantly improved so lower-class and middle-class Americans will not have to suffer financially as much. I believe with the help of Senator Biden that Barack will help the United States gain back its international respect, and we will no longer be seen as bullies.

Here’s What Barack Obama Believes

• He is pro-Union. I’m a union member and come from a pro-Union family.
• 
  He believes in a free market economy but also defends social welfare policies like Social Security.
• 
  He supports equal pay.
• 
  He is opposed to education vouchers for private schools, and is for making public schools better.
• 
  He supports teaching theology but not creationism/intelligent design as scientific fact.
• 
  He wants to lower the United States’ consumption of oil and have cleaner energy alternatives.
• 
  He wants fair taxation meaning those who make the most money pay more taxes.
• 
  He wants to end the war in Iraq.
• 
  He is pro-Choice.
• 
  He supports GLBT civil unions, and doesn’t believe homosexuality is immoral.

• 
  He supports age and developmentally appropriate sex education in schools.

So come on, ya’ll, let’s vote and get this man

into office. He’s not just going to be Black America’s president but all of America’s president. He wants to make life better for all of us. John McCain resembles George W. Bush and we don’t want another four years of Bush, do we?
