Why I Support Obama

Many write about what Obama will or will not do. However, I think if we're really listening to his message we need to think about what we will do for, surely, what is happening must continue whether Obama becomes President our not. I think the most stunning, exciting, and wonderful thing about his campaign is the organization that supports him. His candidacy has created the largest and flattest political organization this country has ever seen. We need to learn from this, to build on it, and to ensure it develops into something that gives greater and greater representation to us, the people who power this country.

It's truly amazing that people of my generation (I'm 61) have grown from the "people our parents warned us about" to "the one's we've been waiting for." I haven't been this pumped in over thirty years.

Let's just remember, while it is well and good to revel in Barack Obama's nomination for President of the United States, he cannot single-handedly do much, especially in the aftermath of this criminal administration we've suffered for the past 7 1/2 years. We, not he, are the change we must believe in.
