Conversations With Marva: Why I Am Voting for Barack Obama

  • ByTheSeaMe · 2 years ago
    Thank you!!! I don't know anyone that has actually read his books and explored his ideas that ISN'T voting for Obama. Even people I know in their 80's are excited about him. He crosses all barriers IF people actually put aside their pre-conceived notions and find out what he's about and what he has done and what he'll fight to do. No human is perfect, and Obama doesn't claim to be, but I agree that he inspires and garners more trust than any other candidate on either side. I haven't seen this much excitement - from all age groups - since the Kennedys. IF people actually get out and vote (and if the voting isn't rigged), I think we'll see how skewered the polls have been and Obama will be the clear winner. There is no doubt that Republicans feel that they can beat Hillary, so they WANT Hillary. The press has tried to pull all sorts of childish games (puns on his name, false info about his spiritual beliefs and schooling, saying this or that group of people won't support him), but still he held his own and has drawn crowds that may start out only curious, but are firm supporters after hearing him speak. I believe he is the person to lift this country out of the major corruption of recent years and lead us in a better direction. We've had decades of two families in White House power - it's time for a real change.

    I totally agree...it is exciting isn't it? And it is refreshing to see him, honest and real, accomplished and hard-working, committed to his family and to the country and to people and to making things right, staying in the fight...I love it!

    Thanks for visiting!

    It is depressing to me that someone who decided to hold an honest campaign does not do better in the polls.

    I read "The Audacity of Hope" but not the other as yet anyway.

    I think it is important that people keep making it clear they want him. I'm very disappointed by the fact that media have already decided Clinton is the winner and from the standpoint of linguistics when you tell people something million times it often becomes the truth.

    Isn't it though?

    You would think that the amount of money his campaign raises, the number of people that come out to hear him speak, and the amount of support that he gets would say that people are encouraged by his campaign...but that is not the case, unfortunately...

    I am so tired of HRC being shoved down my throat because that is who THEY want...THEY being the media, the powers that be...it makes me ill...

    Thanks for stopping in!

    Paul Levinson, a professor I read sometimes, a real Ron Paul buff had an article he asked me to digg today about how MSMBC denigrated the Poll after the debate in which Obama came out shining.

    Now Obama's Poll Results Are Denigrated by a "Professional" Pollster

    (((shaking my head))) add one more reason I'm voting for Barack...

    What a sad state of affairs our political/voting system/America/media is in...

    Like you, I have only read his first book, "Dreams of My Father" and I was impressed with him because of his willingness and him actually working with the people.
    What surprises me though is how people keep on saying that they like him but that tney do not think he is going to win. If we actually take action on our dreams then the man will win so let's continue to be positive!

    Great entry!
