Oh-Bama!

I am a Republican. I am conservative with my business, with my money, with my feelings, with my politics. I believe that less government is better. I believe that I am responsible for me and that everyone else should take responsibility for themselves too. I don't believe in getting inadvertently pregnant or the expectation that if I do someone needs to give me a monthly check to pay my bills. Conversely, I believe that women have the right to choose and that you should be able to marry whoever you want. So maybe I am a republicrat. Or a demolican. That being said it may come as a surprise to most who know me that I voted for Barrack Obama.

I watched all the debates. I wanted, desperately, to hear something from McCain that I could get behind. It never happened. In fact, the more he talked, the more fearful I became. He is a scary little man.

Now with Obama, the opposite is true. His cool, calm demeanor over the course of time has made me want HIM to be the leader my country. I want HIM to be the one who has his finger on the button. When he speaks, he reminds me of video that I have seen of John and Bobby Kennedy. Listening to his acceptance speech made me feel like maybe, just maybe, he gets it. And that gave me hope.
