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.

As noted in an earlier post DPC.com (and Scarlett Johansson) support Barack Obama in 2008. We are a little over a week away from Super Tuesday and with each passing moment Obama gains support and it isn’t just from crackpot bloggers in Northern California:

• DPC
• Scarlett Johansson
• Caroline Kennedy
• Ted Kennedy
• John Kerry
• Jessica Biel
• Oprah
• George Clooney
• Jamie Foxx
• Forest Whitaker
• Sidney Poitier
• Jennifer Aniston

Nevada Alumni For Obama

Scarlett Johansson, like DavidPatrickCastro.com, is pro Barack Obama in 2008. DPC.com is not pro Obama due to Scarlett. America is dying slowly after eight years of choking oppression that robbed us of our civil liberties and it is time for America to realize the error of its ways and bring about a better tomorrow. Barack Obama can do this and the American people want their unimagined horizon back after being beaten to a cowering stance.
Change We Can Believe In

Des Moines, IA January 03, 2008

Thank you, Iowa.

You know, they said this day would never come.

They said our sights were set too high.

They said this country was too divided; too disillusioned to ever come together around a common purpose.

But on this January night - at this defining moment in history - you have done what the cynics said we couldn’t do. You have done what the state of New Hampshire can do in five days. You have done what America can do in this New Year, 2008. In lines that stretched around schools and churches; in small towns and big cities; you came together as Democrats, Republicans and Independents to stand up and say that we are one nation; we are one people; and our time for change has come.

You said the time has come to move beyond the bitterness and pettiness and anger that’s consumed Washington; to end the political strategy that’s been all about division and instead make it about addition - to build a coalition for change that stretches through Red States and Blue States. Because that’s how we’ll win in November, and that’s how we’ll finally meet the challenges that we face as a nation.

We are choosing hope over fear. We’re choosing unity over division, and sending a powerful message that change is coming to America.
