Okay. Remember. I own this blog. Sort of. I'm going to be blunt and direct.
Time is short and the river is rising. November isn't very far away and we have a lot of mis-information, vitriol, and ridicule to swim through. I will be voting for Barack Obama for a number of reasons. Here are three of them: Decency, Leadership, Heart.
Barack Obama is a decent man. He could have been a drug dealer, given the shaky start he got. Instead, he is the President of the United States. He has courage. He is the epitome of a self-made man. He has a gift for leadership. He is widely respected and revered throughout the world. He has presided over a Congress with the lowest approval ratings in history and he has done it with dignity and grace. He is a family man and his dedication to his family is publicly demonstrated.
Barack Obama is a natural leader. He inherited an economic mess that nearly plunged us into a depression that would have made the first depression look like child's play. How soon we all forget who was responsible. Our present situation is not something our government created. Corporate greed and de-regulation of Wall Street brought us to the brink. Barack Obama has had to preside over a painful recovery made even more difficult because he has had to deal with a congress filled with obstructionists and know nothings who are blocking economic and political reforms.
Barack Obama has a heart. He has repeatedly defended the rights of the disenfranchised and the poor. He has expressed concern for the growing inequality in our society. Through sheer force of will, Obama confronted a disastrous health-care system that will bankrupt our Country if we can't get it fixed. Barack Obama has consistently kept attention on the needs of those least able to advocate for themselves. He best emulates the teachings of Jesus Christ and I'm serious about that comparison.
Decency. Leadership. Heart. Barack Obama does not deserve the vitriolic, hateful comments and opinions I see daily online. He is the President of the United States and he has served our Country faithfully and with tremendous courage and honor. I will be voting for him and hoping that he will represent our Country for another four years.
There. I'm done. For now.
