As I surf the blogosphere I am continually reminded of the blind hope of the future first black president. So I started to think about my own support for Barack Obama and why I believe he will be an effective leader. Why should voters have the Audacity to Change?

In the last 8 years we suffered from a suppressive, fear mongering & quasi-dictator. Barack Obama is only messenger for CHANGE, HOPE and optimism. He embodies a refreshing face to a bitter world.

Maybe he doesn’t have years of gridlock Washington experience. But lets look at what we do know about him; how he’

s ran his campaign.

A) Financial Management
>>About $140 Million Dollars from a HUGE base of support (involving more people in the political process not simply those with large wallets.)

B) Organizational Abilities
>>11 out of 13 Caucuses were won by LARGE margins primarily accredited to his (and his staff’

s) ability to organize.

C) Speaking Ability
>> Listen and watch the man; he restores the face of optimism that most of us can’

t even recall feeling.

D) Transparency
>>He disclosed his tax info, when Hillary refused. Also, his creative uses of information technologies speak loudly to a vision of transparency. The internet helps us all put ourselves in the limelight for open praise and criticism.

  



If Superdelegates Decide, I pledge to Boycott the Democratic Process

Did you know your vote may not count this year? Assuming your a democrat from Florida or Michigan your vote was predetermined to be useless. According to the rules set forth by the DNC; democracy is a joke. As we “spread democracy” around the world, have we trumped “Democracy” at home? 

Now aside from the past, in a few months superdelegates could deside to ignore voters intent and misrepresent their congressional districts. I’m not saying this is inevitably going to happen. I do think it’s a worthy cause to stand up and express your discontent with the very notion that our will may not be properly represented.
