What Barack Obama Means to Me

If you have never seen Barack Obama speak in person, please find and event and see him right away.  His message and his delivery will blow you away.

To me, Barack Obama means change.  His ideas about how to change Washington and the process of partisan politics that our country has begun to tire of are utopian sounding- similar to my own.  Barack Obama = dramatic change.  If you have any doubt about this, just look at Iowa and New Hampshire- more young people voting, more people voting in general, and Barack Obama pulling from Democrats, Republicans, and Independents.  This is amazing, just what the United States needs right now.

If Barack Obama becomes President, one can expect intense changes to occur within the American political system.  To me, Barack Obama is the candidate who has the best ability to make these changes.  His work in the United States Senate and in the Illinois Senate have proven that he can work together with Republicans on issue.  This will help end the years of partisan politics that we have become used to.  This, I believe, is the only way that we can get major legislation passed on issues such as the War on Terror, Iraq, healthcare, Social Security, immigration,  and the environment.  Also, Barack Obama is the only Democratic candidate who stands a chance of winning against a Republican in the national election.  Hillary is too divisive to gain votes from swing voters and Republicans.  Edwards is too far behind in the polls.  Barack Obama is a joiner who can join Democrats, along with Republicans and Independents to vote for him- as seen in Iowa.

Go Barack!  Keep it coming.  "Yes We Can"!
