I’m not much of a political guy. In the past, I paid little attention to the candidates and their platforms thinking one was going to be about the same as the next with minor differences.  How wrong I have been. As you know, I am all about emotion and touching people and the from the very first time I listened to and watch Obama I was taken by his spirit and persona. For the first time, I followed his campaign and continued to be moved by his speeches, his platform and his take on key issues that drastically affect us all.

I do not wish to use my site as an election campaign supporter but as I watched Ted Kennedy at the DNC last night it took me back to a different time. A time when under the leadership of Ted’s brother John F. Kennedy there was hope for our country and anything seemed possible to achieve, and most importantly there was unity. I couldn’t help fighting back a tear as I thought about the impeding fate of Teddy and realizing that he was our last connection to that era and when he’s gone…it will be no more.

I was equally moved by Michelle Obama’s speech to the convention. She showed such heart and compassion and reaffirmed for me my feelings and intuitions about Barack.  In a time when thousands of our friends and children are dying in a war where we were deceived about it’s necessity, in a time when the average American does need to feel taken care of with the promise a real heath care program and the promise of a world class education, and a time when our government wants to censor the last true channel of information on the net.   Yes.. as our world becomes more and more economically and politically demanding, we need a leader that can re-unite us again, make us feel safe, and return our country to it’s original luster. We NEED change!

I also had the pleasure of having breakfast with Joe Biden a few years ago. I was equally impressed in the same way as Barack but for different reasons.  Biden undoubtedly fills the gap that Barack needed filling and they make a powerful team.

Finally, the idea of a potential 8 more years of Bush politics with McCain is a scary, scary thought. I can not believe anyone would truly desire that.

As I sit here today, I am convinced that our hope lies in the Obama/ Biden ticket and I lend them my full support. That same choice is yours and I encourage you to really think about where each of the two platforms are coming from and vote that choice in November. It’s Time For A Change!!
