I may vote for him.
I will not donate to his campaign. Obama was the first candidate I have ever donated my hard earned pennies to. Will it change anything? Not likely, other than my own wallet.
I will not actively try to sway peoples opinions away from any candidate in favor of Obama. In 2008 i spoke endlessly to the less/non informed voters about the situations in America and how I felt Obama could be a voice to change them in a meaningful way for all of us. I see now that was a fruitless effort.
I will not locate friends and family who are not registered to vote and go through the hard work of convincing them how important it is to take part. In 2008 I got six people registered and drove them to their polling locations to vote. All told me they voted for Obama based on the months of information I had pumped into them. I am personally ashamed of that work now with the results of the Obama presidency and have spoken at length with them all about it.
I MAY vote for Obama, but I'm sure as hell not going to do anything more than that for him, like I did in 2008.
