Election 2008

Last night Diane and I did something historical, we voted for the first black man for President of the United States. with 14 days to go before Nov 4, the polls all show Obama with between a 9 and 11 point lead over McBush (McCain). It is my daily prayer that the good Lord does not give us another 4 years under Republican rule. In just the past two weeks this country has had a financial meltdown, with folks like myself losing over 2 trillion dollars in 401K savings. We're bogged down in two wars costing us over $10 billion a month with no end in sight. The de-regulation of the financial services and insurance industries, le by Phil Gramm in the last days of the Reagan administration (1999) only took about 19 years to unravel our entire financial world, with a Republican (Socalist) led bailout of some $700 trillion dollars.

John McBush has stooped to a new low in campaigning. His and Sarah Palin's daily attacks on Obama with lies and half truths which even past Republican campaigns never stooped as low. John McBush is running scared, telling lies and with God's will be heavily defeated by close of business on Nov 4.

I am proud to say that I voted for Obama, that I believe him to be an honorable man with the best interests of this country in mind. Unlike John McBush who is so consumed with being President (knowing it's his last chance at 72 to run for President) that he has said and done anything and everything, if it is true or not, to be elected. We have had Presidents like John McBush before...namely George W. Bush, our current disgrace of an American President.

It's time for a change and not one that moves us from one Republican dictator to another, but a new President who believes in the best of this country. One who believes in economic development over war. One who is committeed to a "Green Economy" and not one based in selling arms to anyone with the money to pay for them. One who wants the middle-class to succeed, not some "trickle down" philosophy that hopes the folks in the middle and at the bottom will somehow get some benefit from the rich getting richer.

Yes, it's time for a real change and Barak Obama is the right man, at the right time, for the right cause. God bless this planet and may America once again be a leader in peace and not a puppet of the super rich and powerful. I encourage all Americans to vote for their future by voting for Barak Obama.
