I’ve lurked on the web, listened to the news, read articles, and been in numerous discussions.  I’m amazed at all of the discussions that are going on about the election.  It seems like everyone you pass has an opinion on why their candidate is the right one and the other one is a liar from the deepest pits of the abyss.

I have taken a step back and evaluated both campaigns objectively and I’ve decided that I will finally give my official endorsement.  But first, let met give a brief commentary:

Obama has indeed helped our country take a step in the right direction.  By no means are our internal race relations at a place where we can be comfortable, but we’re at least moving in that direction.  The same goes for Hillary.  When the primary is up for grabs by a woman and a minority, then we’re starting to move in the right direction.  I would give a nod to Palin, as well, but McCain picked her, so it’s not really as groundbreaking…though it is still worth noting.

That being said, I still think that they are all politicians.  Yes, I know that it’s a harsh declaration, but it’s true.  Not a single one of ‘em is blameless.  They’ve all run for office, made promises that they couldn’t/wouldn’t keep, voted for their own pay raises, and used their positions of power inappropriately at times.  Not a single one of them is blameless, and that’s just disconcerting.  How can I vote for a person that I know will mess-up?

So what’s a guy to do?  Is there anyone out there who can save our country?  Can we be taken from this financial/moral/political valley and raised to new heights?  Is there a candidate that can lift us up from the ashes and make us the dominant yet caring superpower that we know we can be?

Yes, yes there is…

Hey, if you’re going to have someone lie to you, take your money, mess-up relations with other countries, and then live comfortably for the rest of their life off of your tax dollars…I’d like to be that person.
