So Why Obama?

IMG_0018a
So Carly asked me, “So tell me nice man, why Obama?” For me it’s the way he has conducted his campaign. Instead of the short route with wins in large delegate states, Obama played to the nation. I did not expect to be in a primary state, Pennsylvania, that was contested in April. These things are supposed to be decided early or so the conventional wisdom says. (more)

    So Why Obama? - May 16, 2008 at 2:18 am
  3. Hi :)

    Of course you make a compelling argument. It’s true. He voted correctly, in a time when it was almost political suicide to vote against the mainstream. I admired him for that early on… as in 2006! At one time I imagined the possibility of an Obama/Pelosi ticket, as at the time, Nancy Pelosi was probably one of the most outspoken senators against the Bush administration. I don’t know what has happened since she took the Speaker of the House position, but I am thinking that perhaps she is all bark, no bite.

    Anyway, I believe he is qualified, but I wish he had more experience. We just saw what 8 years of someone who doesn’t know what he’s doing can do to the nation, I wouldn’t think we could survive the mistakes inexperience could do. I am just saying that I would like to see more from him politically, before he takes office as the president. I think we would be in good hands with Hillary for 8 years, and why not think big, and see 12 years of a democratic White House, with Obama as president in 8 years? :)

    Fun sharing ideas with you Pickle! ;)

    Always, Carly
