Well,
there is nothing wrong with that...This election is a litmus test for so many issues in this country.
That is the most profound statement I have ever heard from you, Naughty. And I doubt many people realize just how true that is.
I see all the polls. I see all the predictions. But I'll believe it when John McCain concedes defeat.
I want to be very emphatic in that John McCain is a great American patriot. He has served our nation well. He has been a maverick in the side of some of the Republican presidents helping all Americans.
But America needs a new leader now. One that has the ability to be a leader, the vision to be a leader, one who can keep his cool in hot situations. My admiration for Obama has grown throughout the election. He has shown that he indeed can carry the same torch that John Kennedy carried some almost 50 years ago.
Our nation is very troubled. We have the highest percentage of our population incarcerated in the entire industrialized world. We have quit working on real solutions to real problems and have been using band aids now for eight years.
In particular our minority boys and girls who are being left out of the prosperity club at school and in the world desperately need a ray of hope. John McCain can't provide that ray of hope. It's not that John McCain doesn't care. John McCain simply doesn't understand what it is like to be in high school, college or just that age and not be a member of the prosperity club. Nor does John McCain understand what it is going to take to get things back right again.
The numbers of young adults that are members of the prosperity club are dropping for all races, genders and in all areas of the country. Meanwhile the members of the "Left Out" club are mushrooming. Our country must give those young people hope again.
There is no American on the scene that can do that at this time but Obama. Hilllary comes in a close second. but still Obama is the man for the hour.
Nuaghty said the most profound statement I have ever heard. Her words are a vast understatement.
If we could see in a crystal ball the results of an Obama presidency and a McCain presidency then I think people would really understand.
The animosity the growing discontent about how the nation once the land of opportunity has become the land of no opportunity is just almost boiling underneath the water. With this big of a lead right now, should Obama lose,
I'm very concerned of the violent reaction of these young adults, black and white, male and female, hispanic and all that have been left out now for eight years.
Should this election get taken away from Obama, my sympathies would be with this young adults. I'm white, male, come from a good linage back to pre-Revolutionary times, college educated and all, but my sons unlike me have not been able to gain entry into the prosperity club. The economy is wrong for them in their twenties to get in. They are still having to use my card to get into the door.
