That's so not on. Not only does it mock Obama, it mocks all the people who believe in him. Ultimately, the people who change the world don't do it alone; they do it by rallying the masses, getting them to do the dirty work.

It really does seem like she's trying everything she can to win, and I have difficulty voting for someone who puts winning above being right.

I was deliberately staying away from posting until this, since I really don't get a say in the candidacy. (Darn Michigan! This whole primary season has been a debacle of the first order.) I think it's exciting to have such diverse choices, and I'm glad it's mobilizing voters. It's about time people under 30 got out to vote! YAY!

I do believe the important job of a President is to mobilize the nation's constituents. That's why campaigning makes sense. Someone who can get voters has a leg up on creating change. As a nation, we need someone who will be able to get people to make big changes: energy efficiency, ending war, building relationships with other countries, national health care. I'm tired of politicians pointing out what needs to be done, but not making the steps. I like his campaign message: that people may need to WORK to achieve the greater good. That's why I'm a Democrat in the first place.
