20. People try desperately to label things to understand them, but perhaps
Edited on Sat Jun-28-08 08:11 PM by TBF
Obama defies easy labeling. He was opposed to the war when it wasn't cool (which shows me his pacifist leanings), he speaks of raising taxes of those making over $250K a year (shows me he has a brain), and he says things like we are not white america and black america - we are the United States of America (tells me he cares about all people).

Our current president is easy to label: fascist.

I'll take my chances on the peace-loving, brilliant, caring man who happens to also be multi-cultural and bi-racial. Seems like he understands alot about ALL of us, not just the wealthy few. You can label it if you'd like, but I'm just going to work my butt off to get someone more like most of us elected to the presidency.
