Most Recent Posts Obama 08Posted May-24-08 04:44:38 PDT Updated May-24-08 04:58:38 PDT In this country vast numbers of people have a tendency to ignore politics and politicians. It's hardly surprising with the way that certain politicians seem less than trustworthy or misrepresent the system to better themselves. Voter empathy is rife. However, despite all this we cannot ignore the importance or significance of the present presidential race going on at the moment in America. This has profound repercussions for the world at large.
Do we want Senator McCain as President? Another war-monger. More years of the same Bush politics. More years of war, instability and fear?
Do we need another President Clinton in the White House (some might say, the same type of Clinton in the White House)? More lying, more underhanded politics and more "I'll do anything to stay in office" type leadership.
Or, are we ready to embrace change? Are we willing to allow the people a chance to speak? A change from politics controlled by special interests and lobbyists. A change that has never been imagined since the likes of JFK or dreamt of since the days of Dr Martin Luther King? Someone not only ready to lead us out of Iraq but lead us into a more respectable and honest way of doing things? Real change, real hope and real substance.
The world is in the fierce urgency of now!
That change is Barack Obama. In my opinion he is the only person capable of REAL change.
Do not assume that because he's other there he's not important. Just look at the effects of George W. Bush as president:
Barack Obama 08 for President.
As a UK citizen I wish I could vote.
