Life In The DPC!

Barack Obama will step up to the podium at the Denver National Convention shortly and it is time for this scribe to reflect on why he is Pro Obama.

Simply put, I support Obama because I can relate to him. We’re both former smokers, multiethnic, Chicago Bears fans and while he currently resides in Chicago I was born on the suburbs of the South Side.Of course he’s a White Sox fan but nobody’s perfect.

The 2008 Presidential Election is the most important campaign in my lifetime. I am only 30 years but in this short lifetime I have seen America plunge to an all time low. Unemployment is sky high, bills can’t be paid, houses are being forgotten and foreclosed and ultimately the public has lost faith in the people that are supposed to support them.

Does Obama have all the answers to cure what ails America? Probably not because that is too much to expect of any one person but he offers hope to the people and that is the greatest commodity available. John McCain, like George Bush before him will keep America isnpired through fear and he will perpetuate 8 years of terror.
