I'm never one to raise a stink. I don't bring up politics or who I'm voting for/not voting for unless someone brings it up first because, frankly, it's not really anyone's business. But today I cant ell you that I am proud to admit that I voted for Barack Obama.
I didn't vote for him because he's black. I voted for him because he hass promised the change that this country so desperately needs. I voted for him because he will strive to keep those who can't afford health insurance (like my best friend and her 2 year old) able to go to the doctor. He will cut taxes on those who are already penny pinched and tax those who can afford it. He will work on a plan to get us out of Iraq and out of Afghanistan.
Will he be perfect? No. Nobody is, but I have faith that he has the best interest of the country at heart. He loves America and he will strive to make our country better than it ever has been.
To those who voted for McCain, I give my condolences. I'm sure he would have done a fantastic job. But this country has had enough of Bush and his Republican doctrine. McCain would have been more of the same. I hope we can all band together as Americans -- not Republicans and Democrats -- and support our country.

Obama is the man...
I don't normally post this close together (I just posted last night), but Kristal mentioned Obama's transcript in her blog and I checked it out. One of my pastors and another woman were talking about it at David's wake a week and a half ago, and they said he was so eloquent.
Well, lemme tell ya, had he not already had my vote, he would have gotten it after I read this speech. It was a speech made in response to the comments of his pastor, Rev. Jeremiah White, and it calls on us as Americans, noot white or black or Hispanic or Asian or Native American, but people who live in and love this country, to be the catalyst for change.
If you have a few moments, read his speech. It's amazing.
And, in case you were wondering, here is the Rev. Wright's comments that caused such an uproar:
And here is the video of Obama's speech in response to that, the transcript of which I linked to above. (It's a long speech.)
Listen, whether you agree with my particular political affiation or not (I'm an independent and vote for who I think will do the best job), something has to change in this country. Can it be achieved in the four to eight years this man might be president? Probably not, but we can make significant strides forward if we would all just get over ourselves and our pity parties and ouor "holier than thou" attitudes and just love each other. Respect each other.
