Obama for President
I’ve decided to support Barack Obama for President. I am convinced that he has the best chance to restore America’s standing in the world. I also think that he has the best ability to work with members of both parties in congress to help pass some desperately needed legislation at home to undo as much as possible of the damage done in the last 7 years to our constitutional rights, environment, health care, education, and the working class. While the differences between the Democratic candidates are minor in comparison to the gulf that divides them from the Republican candidates, there are significant problems I have with many of the other Democratic candidates. I cannot get over Clinton sponsoring a bill outlawing burning the flag. I also think she is very divisive, and that will hinder her ability to make needed reform. I was also put off by Edwards’ flat-out dismissal of gay marriage, even though I like him overall and he is my second choice after Obama. Richardson was even worse on the subject of homosexuality, claiming it was a choice before making the redundant statement that he is “not a scientist”.

Of course, since we live in Florida, it’s not like our choices for the primary count anyway..

I like Obama well enough, and will vote for him for President without heartburn if it comes to that. Clinton is too aggressive for me - by which I mean her war votes and Iranian stance, not her personality.
