SUPPORT / SUPPORT
First off, I want to thank EVERYONE who has given me support through what has been one of the most difficult points of my life. There have been some road bumps with people’s opinions, but I’m happy to say for the most part people have offered me their love and support. I don’t think any of you can really comprehend just how much that has meant to me. Whether that was an email, call, message, or a comment right here on my blog… they were all read and kept dear to me. So I just wanted to tell you all that yes, it really has meant that much to me. Lots of impact on my life (for the better).
Second, I want to ask you to support someone else. That person would be Barack Obama. He is offering us a chance to get away from what has failed us and offers a brand new alternative. This is the person that is challenging the stereotypes of our country. This is the face of the new America, a bright future for a country full of potential. I’m not sure if he can stop the recession, I don’t know if he can rectify what has been done in the Middle East. But I do know that it’s not guaranteed with anyone else either and his plans seem sound. It’s just this new vision that I think would be extremely healthy for our country. Sometimes change comes as a forced garment that bulges in all the wrong places and would rip if you bent over. Sometimes though, change is that thing that you’ve just got to grab when the moment comes. And if you’d like me to finish the clothing metaphor, it’s that outfit that you’ve been lusting over for MONTHS suddenly on sale. You just have to buy it and you know it’s going to look good.
Feb. 5. Support Barack Obama. For America.
Hey Paul,
Nice blog I stumbled across. I admire the intellegence and interest in politics for someone your age (or any age for that matter).
My question on this blog would be what changes that Obama would bring in particular would you be in favor of. We hear a lot of talk about “change” in this election, but don’t hear about what specific changes these politicians would bring about.
Look forward to reading more.

From a purely technological standpoint, he advocates things better. More access to broadband (cheaper as well), better patent laws, etc etc.
On the more political side his views on Iraq are more what I consider to be reasonable. He also has a good opinion on religion (in my opinion). His support for Education is also top notch.
I mean, if you just take a look at his website in the ‘Issues’ section…I just see his views as fantastic all around. He could pay more attention to gay rights, but, eh.

He does have charisma, I’ll give him that.
I went to Obama’s website, and there is really not much that he’s for that I agree with, so I wouldn’t know where to start a discussion.
No, I’m not a Fox News Hannitized Republican either. I just think the democrats are dead wrong on growing an economy. One only needs to look at countries like Ireland and Hong Kong to see how one can spur economic growth.
The Republicans on the other hand, talk a good game on the economy, but fail to deliver, so you choose your poison I suppose. I’m also not a fan of the Iraq War, Patriot Act, and corporate subsidies.
Anyways, back to work for me.

Thanks for visiting and commenting on my blog. I will be adding yours to my iGoogle reader. I don’t know whether the ‘most difficult point’ in your life was coming out, or something entirely different, but I’m glad to hear that you had support through that.
And I’m delighted with your Obama support. I think I’m back on the Obama train.
All the best,
Bradley
