Barack Obama - "Yes, We Can!"

Here is what I like so far about Barack Obama:

- He does not get ruffled. I like that in a president.

- He is calm, we need that in a president. Like Reagen, he can make us feel good -- there is value in that with these economic times. Confidence = spending = economy stimulated.

- He appears to be a man of conviction. Too rare in politicians these days.

- He appears to be able to work with people on both sides of the aisle. Most politicians are so partisan these days, it seems like Barack can rise above that.

- He has the charisma to be a "healing" president. He can make us feel good about America again vs. Hilary who believes we are all evil. I want Americans to be proud to be American again. I want to see patriotism that isn't centered around militarism. We need to celebrate the freedom we enjoy. We need to teach appreciation of our freedom and American ideals to our kids in schools and not be afraid to say the pledge in high schools. We live in a wonderful country, we need to be proud and appreciate it. We need to fix things, but we also need to be proud. I think Barack can help us get there.

- We need to be mindful of world opinion. I think Barack is mindful. I think he can do a world of good in foreign policy for the simple fact that he seems to lack arrogance. Not all Americans are arrogant like the Clinton and Bush's. It would be nice if the world didn't view us as arrogant.

- He values education -- need I say more?

Many white people won't admit their fear of electing Obama. The big fear is assassination. There are many black people who say they won't vote for him because they know if he is elected he will be assassinated. I'm not one to be a conspiracy theorist, but I understand the fear. We live in a crazy world. We can not let fear paralyze us.

I hope with all of my heart that Barack Obama comes out ahead of Hilary. If she is the nominee from the Democrats, I will be forced to toss my vote over to the Republican side. Hilary frightens me even more than the other options. I'd love to see a woman president, but she is not the one.

So, today I go on the record with my support of Barack Obama. I rarely blog political, but it you are in a voting state on super Tuesday, please consider my logic. I am a typical woman voter who in the past has leaned conservative and moderate in the voting booth. If you Democrats want my vote this year, I just explained to you how to get it. Please realize, if you get my vote you will get many more. I am not alone in my thinking. I will vote anyone but Hilary.

PLEASE nominate someone I feel okay about voting for!!!! I'm sick of voting for the less of the evils. Go Barack! I believe you can unite us and bring progress domestically and internationally. GOOD LUCK and God's speed! I want to believe. I want to be inspired.

Oboma's message inspiring? Yes. Check this out. We are not as divided as our politics suggest.
