When I vote for Obama, it will be a vote for Obama and not just another vote against a Republican. I truly like McCain, but I believe more in Obama's abilities to lead our nation than I do McCain's. (Sorry McCain!) Even though I am a fan of short and sweet speeches, I found that this very long speech was true to Obama's heart and simply wonderful. Even though he spoke negatively about his opposition at times, it was generally very touching. Just like McCain's! The stage was over the top, yes, but I do understand that it was a tribute to Martin Luther King Jr. so people need to lighten up about that. Some say that Obama's celebrity is a trivial thing, but may I say that it is a power. Because of his intelligence and eloquent nature - and frankly, because of his race, he is loved and respected on every continent of this turmultuous planet. If he is elected, then he will be the first truly historic figure of the twenty-first century, and no, not as the anti-christ! Think of how much power he will have with this advantage. I believe that as a man of law, he will not be too corrupted by this power. He does Not want history to remember the first black president as bad or mediocre, after all. He will be particularly on his toes, yes-yes? Obama is young, energetic, and wise and I believe he is ready for the challenge to do something groundbreaking. Thank you, Fora, and thank you to anyone who reads what I have to say with an open mind.
