Barrack Obama

I have been a Hilary Clinton supporter since the beginning but now that it is just between Obama and Mccain, I'm going for Obama. I've realized though not to look at things in face value. Throughout history the U.S have used the good cop and bad cop model in regards to who leads the country.

On the other hand though I can understand why people are so passionate about what Obama represents. For many blacks just the idea of someone that looks like them is very inspirational and gives them hope that they too can strive and achieve great things. I agree it might be a little bit niave but in the absence of black males in prominent positions I'm not surprised. Some whites feel it highlights how much the U.S has moved on from segregated toilets to potentially a man of color leading our country. I think perhaps it may alleviate some guilt they may have. I also feel that the Bush administration has caused our country such embarrassment and resentment, black and white. Obama represents a welcome change from that. As for me I'm too skeptical to buy into their speeches from either Obama or Mccain. I'm interested on what goes on behind the scenes, the machines that drives both candidates will ultimately see their agendas realized.
