so excited its so cold and rainy here in boston and donnie just told me we are booked....yuppie so exciting.. we are going first class... i have never been on first class so sassy...just wanted to share....

I admit I felt a little guilty posting b/c I realized that it may have seemed that I was attacking Obama or criticizing some of your decisions to vote for him (which I genuinly hope you know was not my intention at all). The truth is there is stuff we could write about all the candidates. Like Jamy said everyone has a past and a present. To be honest people's past don't bother me that much b/c how many of us have done stuff in the past that we would never do now? It's how you spin your past to the American people that I have a problem with. Clinton & McCain's past are pretty much all out there in the media for you to read about. Obama's past is a little more well guarded, particularly b/c he is so well liked by the media. I mentioned to my FI that I wished people would vote on the issues and not idealistic issues and he made a good point. He said to me "What's wrong with believing in hope and peace? Yes maybe Obama won't be able to change a lot of what is wrong with the world but America and especially a lot of young people need that idealistic spirit." He made another good point in mentioning that when JFK and Robert Kennedy spoke, they brought tears to people's eyes. They too touted change and hopes for a better America. A lot of people need and want that, and there is nothing wrong with that. Perhaps, like Jamy I have become jaded and I don't believe that these candidates can change things. But like Christine I would like to believe that one day a candidate will be able to do some good for this country and that is why I plan to vote in the upcoming election and make a decision based on the issues as best I can. very well said miss glenda

i just wanted to say good luck...stay positive..

Quote: Originally Posted by Nrvsbride Ok I am going to put my two cents in (more like a quarter). LOL. I am not trying to offend anyone I am just trying to have an honest and real discussion about something that I consider to be an important topic. I like Obama. He is well educated and very likeable. Like many said he gives speeches that move people. If you want to vote for Obama because you agree with his stance on issues then I think that is awesome. But I have to be honest, it scares me a little bit to think that so many people want to vote for him merely b/c he promotes "change". 1. He did not grow up in the ghetto somewhere. He was raised by his maternal grandparents (who happen to be white) and he spent most of his life in Hawaii in a nice area. He went to Columbia University and then attended Harvard University. So the rags to riches story he is always trying to promote bothers me. 2. He denounces lobbyists but the head of his campaign is a huge pharmaceutical company lobbyist. Umm hypocricy? 3. His wife sits on a board for a food company that supplies Wal-mart and other non-unioned companies. How can he and his wife (who has given many speeches on his behalf) criticize Hilary for taking corporate jobs after law school when they cater to corporate America? 4. His wife is also the VP of the University of Chicago Medical Center, which has a policy of urging poor people to seek private healthcare so they won't drain the public resources and will make more money for the private doctors. 5. He loves touting change. Great, I want change too. But how is he going to do that? He hasn't been able to explain how he plans to implement this change. 6. He always talks about how he was against the Iraq war from the beginning. Well sure that's easy for him to say b/c he wasn't there for that vote. I'm not saying the war is right or wrong, all I'm saying is that people made the best decision they could with the information they were given AT THE TIME. And its really hard to look your constituents in the face and say "Oh your husband died in 9/11? Sorry but we're going to do nothing about it right now." Hilary may have supported the war but honestly she is the Senator from NY. What was she supposed to do? Every individual in NY wanted to go to war with their own hands after 9/11 happened. People felt differently at the time. Hindsight is 20/20. 7. Its known in politics that the under 30 vote is easy to persuade by glorifying "idealistic" ideas that sound great but will never be implemented. Most young people can't even point Iraq out on the map. They are known for voting with their heart and not based on informed decisions, if they even bother to vote at all. Do you really believe that if he's president all those old fat, white men in Congress & the Senate are going to let him do what he wants? They will veto every bill he proposes if they don't agree with him. 8. Its easy to say your going to change things when you don't have that much experience as to how things work. Politics is so complicated. Its not as easy as saying "yay/nay" when the vote comes around. It involves complex issues that aren't as simple as saying "Okay I'll just pull all the troops out in Iraq." Most people don't want war, but most people don't understand politics well enough to know that if they just withdraw troops immediately, the more powerful countries such as Iran & Syria will pounce on Iraq and cause severe instability in the middle east. Okay I too am going to step off my box now. I am not trying to push any candidate on anyone, I just want those of you voting for Obama to do so b/c you are making an informed, educated decision and not b/c it feels like he is speaking directly to you. i heart you glenda for your opinion. i thank you for your honesty...i will def be making my decision when i have fully been educated but i what i ment is he has my attention and i like it because it woke me up, and i feel as though when he talks i believe, its so hard to believe today.. but i will def be doing my homework before i vote i did not want to be misunderstood...im so excited i feel empowered to vote this year..

Oh and Erica, your election was yesterday, so I assume you mean you didn't vote yesterday. I hope you will register and vote in the general election now. yes.. i will be voting in the election i was so upset, i thought i was registered and i was not...and it was too late but i am def voting.... there is something about the way he speaks has my attention,i feel he is speaking right to us when he speaks, there is a lot of times when politics come up i do not understand a lot one beacuse i never paid attention he woke me up....so i thank him for that but i will have to see when it is time to vote who i will choose...
