As the state of the union winds to a close, and it becomes apparent that with Bush it is more of the same yadda yadda, (in spite of the fact that his
legacy is failed); I want to take a second to say,
please support Barack Obama.
Some say that Bush's time in office was the catalyst for catharsis. Like a deep cleansing at the spa, all the shit rises to the surface. Civil liberties, habeas corpus, ignoring Geneva, war, spying, torture, disproportionate tax relief for the wealthy, a failed economy; every child left behind, lack of global warming legislation, moreover the
failed and corrupt political system in our country; in short, all the shit that has been festering in this country has risen to the surface under Bush and the time has come for
change.
Barack Obama embodies change. He stands for a new brand of
visionary politics that seeks not to rule by creating policy in a system where corporate money has far too much influence, but to inspire and mobilize the disillusioned masses. Barack seeks to change the system fundamentally so that it serves the people in the way that the founding fathers intended.
This country can be great, and not just because of a charismatic leader but because of the people within it and their
capacity to do the right thing.
