I'm Voting For Obama!
Joe the Plumber?!?! Are you kidding me? In last night’s debate, Obama showed that he is ready to be our next president with his intelligence, focus, and yes, his eloquence. McCain showed himself to be an ass. Obama seemed a little shaken at points, but he still maintain his coolness and stood his ground.
Afterward I found myself so impatient with the post-debate spin that I gladly changed the channel. I am starting to realize that my past frustrations may have been driven more by where I have chosen to get my information – cable news, for instance – rather than the information itself.
I received an email from the Obama campaign this morning that included this line:
The most dangerous thing you can do right now is nothing. Your support and hard work are exactly what we need between now and Election Day.
Okay. Point taken, Senator. Last night’s debate was a reminder of just how much is at stake. When my presidential-politics free week ends this weekend, I am going to think more carefully about where I get my news and I’m going to work harder to make the time I spend on this election more worthwhile. Maybe I’ll finally find the courage to make phone calls or knock on a few doors.
