5. A democrat is needed to protect the Supreme Court and produce any positive changeUpdated at 4:32 PM


Obama is a politiican and he is not my dream progressive candidate. I am still pissed that he squandered his opportunity to stand up and fight for a real bailout instead of allowing the Bush people to rob our treasury. There is legitimate reason for progressives to be angry.

However, reality is reality. And, the reality is that one of two candidates will win on Tuesday. The choices are simple: Do you want a President who stands against everything you believe in OR do you want a President who stands for SOME of what you believe? Do you want a President who has the intelligence to lead a broken nation OR do you want a President so ill-fit for the job that he may completely destroy any chance for the rescuing of this nation & the globe? Do you want a President who will listen to Al Gore or do you want a President who is completely owned by big oil?

When reviewed in that light, Obama is clearly the only choice...

I am a default Obama supporter. But, I am a Obama supporter. He has my time, my money, and my vote. And, if you want the progressives to feel maybe even a little happy about a Obama Presidency, tell them to watch his speech on race on youtube. You can't watch that speech and not believe that this man, just maybe, will be able to do the job...
