Why I am thinking of voting for Obama.

Why I am thinking of voting for Obama.

I am a white 57 year old Conservative Republican who tends to lean toward the Libertarian point of view. But, in this election I think I might vote for Obama. Now I am still not 100% shore but I am thinking of it. I am also thinking of switching parties so I can vote in the Demarcated primary. Let me explain. I know that while he was a state representative he did not do anything, and while he was a congressman he did not do anything and ever since he became a US Senator the only thing he done is running for President. I also have listened to his speeches and even though he has only said he would make changes but has never said what or how. He is never specific and always invades the questions but yet he is inspiring. He is a true politician a lot of hot air and no substance. There is another reason, we will be making history. The first Black President. Imagine how far this will go to heal race relations in this country. As a Black friend of mine told me, look Dave he has not let Jessie Jackson or Al Sharpton get close or embrace him. You know they are fit to be tied; electing Obama will put people like them out of business. Then maybe this country could finally move forward. It was after her statement that I started to think of voting for him. I thought she made some valid points.
