UNACCEPTABLE

Bad president, nice dude -- give the guy a break.

1 DAY

I have butterflies!

SOMETHING NICE

John McCain is a patriot that deserves all the respect that can given to a man who served his country the way he did. He is to be commended for his ability to reach over party lines and fix problems, and his attempt to help the economy by suspending his presidential race shows just how much he loves his country and its people.

2 DAYS

Are you ready? I hope you've been practicing your early morning routine, clocking the fastest root to the polls, ironing and re-ironing your Barack Obama "HOPE" shirt, I know I have.

DON'T FORGET TO VOTE McCAIN NOV. 4 2008

I don't care who your voting for just do it and for the right reasons. I'm flying home tomorrow! That's a lie I do care who you vote for--OBAMA 08 BARACK THE VOTE BARACK THE VOTE BABY BARACK THE VOTE AND TIP THE VOTE OVER!

PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE -- WHAT DID YOU THINK?

Seriously, no judgments, how did you feel about the clash of theses political titans? I don't know if either of them made me feel 100% confident in their abilities and I want to feel 100% considering we have no money!

SILLY LADY!

I love woman and they have just as much of a right in the White House as men but this woman -- if I hear another Palin supporter tell me that they like her because she's a good speaker and PRETTY -- wow. Apparently looks can run a nation. About her being a good public speaker, she lies A LOT. Well, you should decide for yourself, take a look:

This woman could be our next president considering there is a high possibility McCain won't make it through his first term in office due to his old age, and in case you lost track McCain knows absolutely nothing!

WOW! THIS GUY IS WORSE THAN PALIN. Okay, don't vote for a black man but I'm not down with two idiots either. If you don't like Obama just stay away from the ballots.

Lastly if you are hung up on the idea that Obama is Muslim, please do some research. The man is a Christian. He may have had a Muslim father but he chose to be a Christian. You have to pick one, is he Muslim or are we going to condemn his CHRISTIAN church because of the remarks made by his former pastor.

As a reminder:

"What is it exactly that a VP does everyday?"

ANOTHER NIGHT AND I'M PISSED WITH PALIN

I was going to write a long rant on how much I dislike the woman but Matt says it best.

Governer Sarah Palin

Scares me. She's been in office (Governer of ALASKA of all places) for two years and now she is the next Vice Presidential candidate. She has this tendency to manipulate the truth into a believable lie (about a bridge that links two parts of Alaska. You know you're a newb when your scandal is labeled "A Bridge to Nowhere",) and shes HOT! I take that back. The hot part doesn't scare me, if someone has her number please let me know so I can ask her out. Is it just me or is this a political ploy to get McCain a leg up by pitting a female Vice President against a black male President. This is the most non-PC presidential race I have ever seen HAHA!

Man of the Year

Barack Obama is the name on the tip of everyone's tongue whether your going to say "What does Obama stand for?" or "I am currently watching Obama make history," he is the most talked about man at this time in our lives and possibly one of the most talked about black men in history. Now before I start this political rant let me just say I am voting for Obama.
Now this is not a discussion of Barack's health care plan, his philosophy on how to improve our economic decline, or his thought on the war in Iraq and our need to pull out (that's what she said, thought I'd make the joke before you did.) This is about the notion that many of Americans are voting for Obama in order to make history by placing an educated black man in office.
I can't deny that my first inclination was to vote for this man because the idea that an educated black man had finally come to a place in which he could run for office and win intrigued me. But as time goes on and Obama continues to define his views as more than just the cliche of "change," I find myself trusting him as a person with this country and its citizens. So, I offered up a challenge to my parents and my friend Ken. If John F. Kennedy and Barack Obama were running at the same time who would you vote for. Now I understand that they lived in two different times but if I think about it I believe many of the things they stand for are similar. The answers I received were all "If I had to choose I'd pick Obama."
Okay, so Obama beats J.F.K., but thats a different generation of people (Ken is 50.) My generation is much more torn between Obama and McCain, you may question "Why Jordan?" well I'm glad you asked. In todays world racism is disguised, hidden behind PC terms and city lines that seperate Compton from Beverly Hills. African Americans that lived through segregation have more of a connection to the historical aspect of this election. The words of Dr. Martin Luther King are coming true.
Because racism is seemingly a thing of the past to this new generation (i.e. I can go to school with white people, drink from the same water fountains, and pee in the same bathroom) the Obama wave hasn't struck us as hard. We understand the significance of this event but we're more focused on whether or not Obama's plans for health care will really come through and help heal an ailing nation.
That being said, the fear I have is for Obama's safety. If something happens the nation will be a scary place. Take the beating of Rodney King and the LA Riots, or the death of Martin Luther King and the riots that followed that incident. Those all happened in a time in which racism was more apparent in everyday life. In today's day and age, where racism is seemingly a hush hush topic, I can only imagine what will happen.
My hopes and prayers are with Obama and McCain we will see what happens after the election. GOOD LUCK AND VOTE SMART!
