I have plenty of criticisms surrounding all four of them (Obama, Biden, McCain, & Palin) that I wouldn’t have if better candidates had not intentionally excluded from the running (like Kucinich, Nader, McKinney.. maybe even Paul) by media and political – for lack of a better word – elites. But far more criticism can be heaped on the Republican ticket, McPalin and everyone surrounding them are some of the most evil people on the planet; we can’t let them continue the shameless inhumanity of leadership which defines the Bush administration.
With Obama, I have some hope of not just change but improvement, of the chance that he and his administration will listen to us – we the people, not we the corporate lobbyists.
I know he’s making a lot of concessions to gain support from the owners of powerful industries.. but I also know that he has a shred of compassion for people beyond than his inner circle. If he doesn’t lose that on the way to the white house, then we have a chance to start saving this country.. this planet, from significant disaster. Because the road to disaster is what we are on, what Bush has accelerated, and what McCain would continue if he had a chance of being elected.
So it’s not all tea and roses.. but that’s why Obama and Biden will have my vote. They’re the best choice that industry has allowed us to vote on. They are the best chance we have for a better future.
