Election News

I have worked hard not to include political commentary on the bog but I can no longer hold back...I was a strong Hillary supporter and had a very difficult time getting behind Obama (even though he would be getting my vote) However, after watching the third and final presidential debate of this election season I was won over by Obama. I finally felt that he provided a vision for the future (short and long term) that will impact the majority of the inhabitants on this planet (regardless of political affiliation).

I think Colin Powell stated it nicely on Meet the Press this morning when he endorsed Obama.

So when I look at all of this and I think back to my Army career. We’ve got
two individuals, either one of them could be a good president. But which is the
president that we need now? Which is the individual that serves the needs of the
nation for the next period of time? And I come to the conclusion that because of
his ability to inspire, because of the inclusive nature of his campaign, because
he is reaching out all across America, because of who he is and his rhetorical
abilities – and we have to take that into account – as well as his substance. He
has both style and substance. He has met the standard of being a successful
president, being an exceptional president. I think he is a transformational
figure. He is a new generation coming in to the world, on to the world stage, on
to the American stage. And for that reason, I’ll be voting for Senator Barack
Obama.
