I’ve always taken pride in seeing both sides of the coin. In recent years I’ve considered myself more center-left than just straight-up liberal. Not all Republicans scared me. Neither did all Democrats. I have the gift of hearing both arguments and standing by the side the made more sense; not by the side that I was “supposed” to stand by.
I mean really, our motto here at Patriot Missive might as well be “All politicians are full of shit”, as Skitz M. Jones so rightfully says.
But I can’t deny the energy I feel from Obama. I can’t deny the logic and sense he brings to the table.
After watching this Presidential race from start to finish, I can’t deny that at this point with only 5 days before the general election I am 100% behind Barack Obama.
“I realize that I am not the likeliest candidate for this office. I don’t fit the typical pedigree, and I haven’t spent my career in the halls of Washington.
But I stand before you tonight because all across America something is stirring. What the naysayers don’t understand is that this election has never been about me; it’s about you.
It’s about you.
For 18 long months, you have stood up, one by one, and said, “Enough,” to the politics of the past. You understand that, in this election, the greatest risk we can take is to try the same, old politics with the same, old players and expect a different result.
You have shown what history teaches us, that at defining moments like this one, the change we need doesn’t come from Washington. Change comes to Washington.”
