Enter Barack Obama

In a few hours Barack Obama will most assuredly be voted into office as the President of the United States of America. It will mark an important milestone and accomplishment for our country, as we see that equality for all people is still taking strides and today it takes shape in a black president. I think the Democrats and basically all those opposed to George Bush from day one deserve Obama's presidency. They felt they were cheated in 2000, and they felt neo-conservatism and smear politics snatched Kerry's chances in '04. Now they have a perfect political storm brewing and nothing can stop their man this time. They deserve it. I feel like if John McCain wins this election - like he has a chance- we'll have half the country happy to see a Republican still in office but only mildly excited about the chances of a rebound for our country economically and in a worldly sense. Yet, on the other hand, we have a group of people standing behind Barack Obama truly inspired by his words and fully expecting his Presidency to bring the "change" the masses are anxiously awaiting. I don't totally understand what this change is going to look like. or what exactly is going to change but neither do most of the Obama supporters. They just want change in general and they're going to scoop up whatever Obama wants to send their way. I can see why. They see our country in a dead-end war looking more and more unintelligent and out of touch in the world and yet at the same time in the midst of a catastrophic economic collapse affecting literally millions of Americans, They want this all to change.

I'm still not voting for Barack Obama. This is what I know about him: His underlying believe and desire is for fundamental change in the US. Does this not scare you people? What change is he talking about? He wants money in the hands of haves, going to the have-nots. He's Robin Hood with with millions in big money financing and a flag lapel. Or sometimes not. He has raised more money than any other candidate in history yet George Bush received more from small donors. What does this mean? He claims to be a man with his own values and ideas not controlled by the Washington Elite yet instead, he gets introduced to the public as a politician by convicted terrorist Bill Ayers, decides to conduct financial dealings with Tony Rezko, a now indicted felon, and spends two decades attending the Chicago Trinity United Church Of Christ listening to the ranting of one Mr. Jeremiah Wright and feeling so comfortable about the man he chose him to baptize his children and be the priest for his wedding. We've all heard Rev. Wright's ideas of America and his hatred of White America, yet most as voters completely disregard any mention of this. Does it not matter? Maybe not. Maybe Wright's ideas were like a "crazy uncle" as Obama calls him and didn't actually sink in to or represent those listening. If you listened to Michelle Obama you might think otherwise. She has called the United States a "downright mean force in the world" and has recently claimed that only now is she proud to call herself an American. Is this who we want in the highest office of the land?

Tomarrow will bring hope to a lot of people and that is a good thing. Let Obama have his chance. Let the Democrats rule all three branches of the Federal Government and do what they can to bring this "change". Let them tax the rich and pretend that will bring wealth to poor people. Let them pretend that we can just snap our fingers and bring free health care and education to all that want it. Let them think that those around the world who despise America will re think their position with Barack in the oval office and decide to never plan another terrorist attack again. Let them think anything they want about this facade Barack Obama. They deserve it.
