What I Learned about People Today...

"The Democrats don't have a single white male running for president, I have to vote Republican." - A Good (Educated) Friend of Mine

There are plenty intelligent folk in this world that are simply racist. That pains me. It shows me exactly where we are limited in this world. I shows that I am a human being and I am flawed, and I will always be ignorant and irreverent of my flaws, so much to the point, that I will celebrate my ideas associated with said faults.

I am going to vote for Barack Obama I think. It seems the most intelligent choice given my options. It even seems to be an intelligent choice with all options I could conceive. Mr. Obama feels like a strong, morally bound man. Someone with inner integrity independent of anyone he knows and anyone who needs and wants something of him. Of course, it is his job to sell me that picture of himself and he might be successful, but I feel it about him.

Hillary Clinton has one thing going against her, Hillary feels like the rest of the Senate to me - slimy. I can't put my finger on it, I just don't trust it. And those feelings have proven me well over and over. Too smooth, too polished, too accepting of the status quo. Mr. McCain...Thank you for serving. Thank you for giving to our country. We love you. We appreciate you. But you have been in it too long, you are one of 'them' and I don't trust you. Neither you Mitt...especially you Mitt. Giuliani, you and Huckabee remind me of Bush, folksy cowboys with Charisma and Charm with no substance.

Speak strong Mr. Obama. Believe.
