Political Rant ahead...consider yourself warned.

Here are a few of my thoughts on the State of our Union and why I have decided to vote for Obama next month.

DC is woefully corrupt. The politicians have perverted and warped our government into a quagmire to be truly ashamed of. No bills get passed unless or until enough politicians get their palms greased by corporations and special interests.

They'd rather give my social security to Wall Street than to me.

Health care is not only out of reach financially for many of us, but it's become a stale joke.

We keep paying terrorists for oil when we have plenty of our own.

I could go on and on.....

The whole thing is a stinking shit sandwich and they expect me not only to take a bite but to be grateful to them for preparing it for me.



I like McCain and think he'd do everything in his power to make things better in America, but I doubt he'll be able to affect the kind of change we need. With him as President he'll be in a constant battle with the partisan House and Congress to get even the toilet paper changed in DC. Regardless of his ideas and motives, he'll end up being ineffective at best.

Regardless of his campaign rhetoric, Obama epitomizes the problems in DC. I believe his solutions will only dig us deeper in the hole. He will however have the majority support and admiration of the lowest rated Congress in our history. Thats why I'm voting for him.


Most Americans are blinded to the problems in DC. It's like watching a football game where everyones cheering on their team, even though the players are a gang of overpaid, drugged up, cheating derelicts. They believe that the politicians might finally do the right things by us. They are drunk with hope and addicted to government control and just as an alcoholic needs to hit rock bottom before they can open their eyes and help themselves, we'll need to hit the bottom to finally stand up and force them to do the right things.

McCain will be able to keep us afloat but I believe Obama can help us get to the bottom and I believe he can do it in only one term. Maybe then will we require our representatives to represent us and not them. Perhaps then we'll tell them they have a single term in office and they can go back to their day jobs. Maybe if the lobbyists go bankrupt, the bribes will dry up and being a politician won't be so profitable.

"Change we need"? Bring it on!
