OBAMA '08
I had the rare pleasure of seeing Barack Obama speak live yesterday at my school Boise State University. I had to completely give up on politics about 8 years ago for my own health. The more i leaned the more i was driving myself to an early grave. But I was really impressed by Obama and inspired. He actually gave me a glimpse of hope for this corrupt, maniacle government. Some of the changes hes wishes to instill if he becomes president are:
1. Universal Free Healthcare for all Americans by the end of his first term
2. $4000 college credit for students wishing to seek higher educations
3. Get our troops out of Iraq and get the real enemy, Bin Laden
4. Completely take lobbiest and PACS out of the whitehouse and stop letting them set political agendas
5. Bring Amercan starndards of education back to the forefront
6. Bring America to the forefront of preservation and protection of our earth
This is not saying that he couldnt be totally blowing smoke up our bum bums, like so many politicians have done before. But the thing about Obama is he really sounds like hes speaking from the heart. His whole campaign is based on CHANGE. He wants to completely change the way this country works and re-instill a sense a pride in our country which the Bush Administration so easily destroyed. It seems that no one wants things to continue as there are, and we all are so despritly calling for change.
So now i may enter back into the world of politics. I just might have to get passed my moral and pholisophical reasons of completely withdrawing from politics, to vote and support this empassioned individual in the hope that their is still the chance that we can change this country back for the good.
I highly recommend that you go and find some of his speeches on youtube.com or elsewhere and listen to what he has to say.
OBAMA ‘08!!!

Free healthcare would be a drawcard…I am always gobsmacked at how bad the healthcare system in over in the US…and I haven’t even seen Sicko yet.

Nolan, I’m with you on this, generally. I voted (by mail) last week for Hillary Clinton; but I am looking for the changes advocated by both Democratic candidates. Either one of them will make a great president. After 8 years of the current president, just about anybody is preferable and would do a better job. I am glad you’re fired up. I am glad that your generation is getting fired up too. This election is really about your future and my grandson’s future. Voting is one of the very last rights that you have that can actually effect meaningful change in your life. Tell your friends to vote, and make sure they all vote in the general election in November ‘08! Cheers! Chris
