A little over a week from now the citizens of our country will be exercising their right to vote for government officials. What many people do not realize is that in this election we will be voting for the future of our country.
I have to ask. . . What exactly do you personally find so scary about this interview? This video is making assumptions from a conversation on a theoretical topic. From that it plays the whole "socialist" card, which is not the reality here. We are so polarized as a nation that when a political candidate makes a comment about equality or how to do the responsible thing of caring for it's poor and needy, that it immediately becomes a Red Scare. Why are so many people scared to share? Don't we realize that none of money or the things we possess actually belong to us? Isn't everything we have a gift from God, and shouldn't we share every good gift? This doesn't mean we need to take it to the extreme. You are so right that we are voting for the future of this country. What kind of future do we want. . . one that keeps us moving on the same path, or one that turns us in a direction to become a stronger more charitable united nation? I am voting for Obama because of his belief that the Family is the core unit of our society, and that we need to focus our attention in the homes. He believes in providing education to all, in exchange for community service. . . think of that. . . a nation of 14-22 year olds serving their fellow man, a pattern that is sure to continue for a lifetime! And like me, he does not believe marriage should be redefined. I am voting for Obama because he makes calm level headed decisions, even when in a crisis and pushed to a point where most of us would react. I am voting for Obama because he cares that I have almost $15,000 in medical debt that I can't pay, and that I haven't been to see a doctor in years. (Which is nothing compared to what some people in this nation bear.) I am voting for Obama, because I sincerely believe that he understands how to lift America up not only giving the people of this nation the hope and ability to move forward, but also because he has the ability to create a new more noble image for us in the world, which is desperately needed. Having spent a major portion on my adult life outside the US, I have seen first hand how our actions are viewed and responded to by others. Our actions directly affect the world, as is so obvious by our most recent economic crisis. With power comes responsibility and I am optimistic about what our future holds as a nation. I just want to say in conclusion, that I don't want you to think that I am telling you who to vote for. If you believe McCain is the best candidate, I respect that choice. But I think it is important for us to stay true to our faith and campaign on the positive qualities of the people that we support instead of spreading negative things about the opponent. Sincerely, kat
I for one would rather have a war hero for a commander in chief than someone who says this about wearing an American Flag pin..."As I've said about the flag pin, I don't want to be perceived as taking sides," Obama said. "There are a lot of people in the world to whom the American flag is a symbol of oppression. And the anthem itself conveys a war-like message. You know, the bombs bursting in air and all. It should be swapped for something less parochial and less bellicose. I like the song 'I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing.' If that were our anthem, then I might salute it."
Thanks for the audio clip, it's one more reason for me NOT to vote for Obama, oh wait, I didn't and I voted yesterday.
