FIRST BLACK DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE FOR PRESIDENT HAS ARRIVED!!

This speech has illuminated him as the right man for the job!! I am elated of course that he is of african descent such as myself. But more importantly, he is presidential. He does not just appear to be. I expect a president to be highly intellectual & educated by the best institutions. After George Bush, all Americans should demand an intelligent & responsible leader. Not a reckless one whose brain seems to have no thought process.

This country cannot afford to get it wrong this time. John Mccain's female choice for VP, Sarah Palin, will certainly sway some ignorant female voters who call themselves democrats. You have to be able to identify with the beliefs of the candidates & the positions they take on the issues. I am a woman who never believed that Hilary Clinton would effect great change for me. The fact that she is a female is not enough for me. Being black is not enough for me either. Hilary Clinton is a great female politician but she is just that. Barack Obama is real to the very core of his being. I feel like he genuinely cares about blacks & females. Whereas, Hilary Clinton only cared about the plight of women. She lost me on some of the comments she made concerning race during her campaign. In my next posting, I will be looking in-depth at one of those statements. You see, I do not like to misquote anyone. The beauty of the internet & youtube is that I can let the reader see comments for themselves. This way, you can decide if it has been misconstrued in anyway. In closing, I hope people really make an informed decision this time around. Stop voting with your emotions at play. Use your mind because the country is at stake this election cycle. Until next time!
