voting for barack obama is a vote in the best interest of the hwole world whether that be a friend of foe of the us and all our citizens. the whole world is watching us and as much as obama is black he is white he has lived abroad as well as here in us with the least scandal and the most honesty of any candidate. so i vote for barack obama because im thinking of my future and may generations to come. i love hillary clinton too. so ill take 8 yrs of barack and 8 yrs of hillary because thats in the best interest of every human on this planet
