Well Its night time over here in Ireland and I am just about to go to bed but I thought I would make an effort to try to convince the few people that might stumble over this blog to vote for Senator Obama in the Pennsylvania primary tomorrow. I started this blog in part because in the last election I was so disappointed that President Bush had been reelected and that same year when I traveled to Europe, I had to listen to everyone I knew tell me that the American people were warmongers, stupid or the cause of all the worlds problems.
I know that is far from the truth because in my mind and since the earliest days that I can remember, I have loved the United States for its role in the world and the good and bad things it has done. With the last administration, this country had lost its course, as conservative ideologies have been pushed this country backwards into history as opposed to propelling it into the future. Voters of PA, you cannot look at the past when deciding who to vote for, you have to look towards the future of where you want America to be. I am currently leading Madeline Albright’s book “A Memo to the President Elect”, and one of the key things she says in there is that the next President needs to have a mix of idealism and pragmatism. This is what Senator Obama has, and he is the best choice for the next President.
Lastly I will support Senator Obama all the way from Ireland and spend my time writing this blog on nights when I could be doing other things because I am a person who believes in Hope. I believe in the betterment of all mankind no matter what part of the world you are from. I believe that we are all free and that eventually all nations will unite in some distant future. We need the person who can set us on this path and that is Barack Obama. Yes We Can!
I know alot of the older democratic voters are unsure about Senator Obama because of his lack of experience so here are some good MoveOn ads that demonstrate why that logic is irrelevant:
