Change is Good
OBAMA by Shep Fairey
I am a pro-choice feminist, and I’m voting for Obama.
I have always valued passion over experience. Those values have helped me live a life that I love and face challenges without being governed by fear.
We need change, big change, and we need it bad. Is Obama guaranteed to bring it? Of course not. Is he the most likely candidate in the field to do so? Most certainly.

Don’t forget that he has been vetted in meetings with Wallstreet. If he hadn’t passed muster with corporate powers he would have been Edwardized by the media. I see another Clinton coming. (Bill that is.) Meaningless feel good rhetoric in the campaign and a sellout to corporate interest in office. Will he be less of a corporate sellout than any of the Republicans? Probably. Will he be less of a corporate sellout than Hillary? If yes then not by much. Once again it will come down to the somewhat lesser of two evils. Sorry to bring you down but that’s how I see it.

Obama is about pure ambition. This is going to be the most sensational example of buyers remorse!

What politician ISN’T about pure ambition at some level? I sure hope he’s ambitious, and confident and yea, maybe even a little bit arrogant.
I don’t think Obama is a panacea. He’s a politician, a lifelong one at that, and I’m deeply suspicious of anyone who chooses that path and not only manages to stay on it, but thrives. That said, I also think that Obama’s campaign has already done the country an enormous amount of good - it’s energized young voters, and it’s gotten people to the polls.
It’s all meaningless feel good rhetoric, from all of the candidates. Whether he’s less or more of a sellout isn’t really relevant, I’m impressed by his willingness to suggest that change is good, and to admit to be being human.
I’m not really interested in engaging in a political debate in my comments, nor am I am terribly fond of the condescending “you’ll be sorry” tone of the last two posts.
As I said in my original post: I’m a pro choice feminist and I’m voting for Obama.
I said it to say so, and I don’t feel the need to defend my choice.
Get out and vote!
