We need a problem solver!
Between the obscene amount of money invested in an unwinnable war and China owning the majority of our rising debt America is standing at the precipice of fiscal ruin. We can no longer continue with business as usual. We are obligated to seek change not only for ourselves but for our children.
There is an immediate need for government to reprioritize when hundreds of dollars are spent per child in school each year, while thousands of dollars are spent on a prisoner each year. It is ridiculous to the point that I often ask myself if this is the governments way of actively recruiting prisoners? Why is incarceration of the middle class preferable to the education of the middle class?
I look to our President to be a compassionate problem solver - not a rigid, intolerant finger pointer. I believe that Barack Obama has demonstrated these qualities & America could greatly benefit from his leadership.
BRAVO
Obama chose a running mate to compliment his abilities. We will have real leaders in these two candidates!

Sarah can go back to her wildlife hunts.
She is a small town girl on an uptown mission. Her comment about not having thought much about the war in Iraq really gives insight to her being out of touch. How can anyone with a child in the military not think about a war when over 4000 U.S.soldiers have been killed and thousands of others injured?
If running Alaska keeps her that busy, think of her trying to run this country. The outcry to end the invasion of Iraq did not reach Bush, perhaps it did not reach her either.
Joe Biden is an inspiration to us all. He is a loving husband, beloved father and has served his country with dedication. He provides a wealth of knowledge.
History has been made and there will be a new chapter after Nov 4. Let's vote for the vision - Vote Obama!
Our leaders need to be responsible people who care for others and get their job done. We don't need lazy, procrastinating people who are DESPERATE to win the presidential election. We sure don't need liars either. Regardless of who wins, we should still be respectful of each other and not degrade each other. No one is perfect and everyone makes mistakes. The world seems to forget this constantly and wants to see perfection, perfection, perfection. We need a fair, just, and un-biased leader who, however hard it is, will treat everyone with the respect they deserve, no matter of their religion, color, race, physical qualities, social class, and political parties.
SARAH IS THE LADY
WHAT NOW, OBAMA
Sarah is the powerhouse dynamite that McCain needed! I am so excited! Come on, America! Obama is nothing but bad news...we need to Vote McCain
THANKS AGAIN
BARACK OBAMA
THANKS FOR EVERY THING
KEEP IT UP I WILL BE GLAD IF YOU MAKE IT
CHANGE?
Change is a very big word and even bigger challenge to implement. To make simple or inconsequential changes, one may make radical alterations, in a controled environment, and produce desired results (like a car in a parking lot). But to make radical changes on a grand scale, is not only risky, but reckless and irresponsible (like a nose-dive in a very large airplane) once set in-motion, the inertia can't be stopped. The best route for grand change is in a step by step method, with controls or laws in place to assure the eventual outcome. Like my dad says, if it sounds to good to be true. Americans WISEN-UP
Real change and power is in Congress! NOT in the commander-in-cheif of the armed forces! Laws are made by Congress! Not the President. Look at the National Budget to see where are financial woes really are. Every handout is crippling this country! Dont get me wrong, Charity is the heart and soul of this God-blessed country, but so is wisdom and prudence.
Change Is A Process
As far as experience, everyone has their strengths and weaknesss that is why we have support. No one knows everything even though some of us think we do.
It took us eight years to get us in the mess it will take us time to clean it up.
I would have love for Obama to had pick Clinton but Hillary has a very strong personality and it wouldn't have worked.
