What can I say.  I am so incredibly proud to live in this country today.  My faith has been restored in the American people that we have truly come full circle.  It is not just that Barrack Obama, the next president of the United States, is African American.  It is that he is an educated, charismatic, brilliant African American man who will be the first to hold the highest office in this land.  We have finally broken the cycle and opened the door to all people who are capable to serve.  I am confident that my daughter will one day soon be able to see a woman hold that office.  For that I am beaming with pride.  For my daughter, my nieces, and my nephews to be able to imagine that someone that anyone no matter their color or sex can indeed succeed to the leader of the free world with overwhelming support from the citizens of this country.

For those that voted for John McCain, I am sorry that your candidate didn’t win.  I was incredibly moved by the speech he gave last night.  He truly is an American hero and proved that he has a lot of class.

 

I introduce to you the new first family!

There’s been a lot of talk lately from the McCain campaign that Obama is going to “Raise your taxes” and “spread the wealth around”. He has even called it another form of welfare.
Now, I don’t care who you vote for (okay that’s a lie because I really want to see a good President in office.) But if you are going to vote for McCain I just want your reasons to be based on facts and not lies or misrepresentation.
McCain may call taking money from the wealthy and giving it to the poor welfare but how is his welfare any different? McCain will take money from the poor and give it to the rich, that is called corporate welfare. It has been going on for a long time in this country, too long. It’s time we get a president that is going to do something about it.
I also wanted to share that I currently recieve e-mails from both Obama and McCain’s campaign. About 99% of the e-mails I get from Obama’s campaign are about OBAMA and what HE is going to do for this country. However, 99% of the e-mails I get from McCain are not about McCain and what he is going to do. I find that scary.
My point for writing this post is to share with you the Obama Tax calculator. All you do is put in your yearly income and it tells you how much money you will get back in taxes with Obama’s plan as compared to McCain’s.
