Obama

This is my own personal opinion. It is not something posted for SDRoads while she is on vacation.

First, I should tell you that I have not been a supporter of Barack Obama.

But I believe every American should listen to each of the candidates, in their own words. We should not only listen to pundits and the commercials. We need to listen to the candidates themselves.

As I listened to Barack Obama's speech from Denver, I was truly inspired. I feel Obama is saying hopeful and convincing things about Americans and unity in our country. I hope we can believe what he said. I look forward to hearing John McCain speak in St. Paul, in his own words too. We all need to really listen, with an open mind, to both candidates before making a final decision of who to vote for in November.

Thanks to SDRoads for letting me express my own opinion here on her forum.

The Con

Well, Obama sounded rather CONvincing in Colorado. As a matter of fact, he was downright inspiring, truly. He nearly had me sold. Let*s hope he means what he said, unlike some people (People who just say what the American citizens on the whole want to hear, just to get the vote.). Because, even if he looses this Election, he can still run again in the next one. But, basically, and sadly, it seems to all boil down to this: Who is the stronger party? Maybe that is why Hills gave up. Lots of political maneuvers on behalf of the major political partys.~ You scratch my back, I*ll scratch yours. Don*t get me wrong. It*s nice that the Clintons, including Chelsea, have been so gun~hoe for The Big O. But, sometimes I wish they would talk
about her, and what she could do for our Country, our Great Nation. Oh that*s right, they can*t, given she opted out. And, did y*all notice how Obama mentioned that we are all fighting for our country, not only for the Republicans or the Democrats? However, I still can*t help but think that, overall, there is still some political dirty pool. There*s a lot going on behind the scenes. And that is my commentary.*SDRoads 08/29/2008
