The Lowell Sun Endorses Barack Obama In The Jan. 8 New Hampshire Democratic Primary
Obama, McCain

in N.H. primary

What Illinois Sen. Barack Obama may lack in experience, he makes up for in inspiration, intelligence and potential.

It is true that Obama has not spent decades in Washington. Given the nature of national politics, that should be considered a point in his favor. He hasn't traded hundreds of votes, he hasn't made countless enemies and he hasn't accepted the traditional restrictions of the federal government.

Instead, Obama offers a message of hope and encouragement to a country struggling with a controversial war in Iraq and Afghanistan, with a weak economy at home and a battered image abroad. Americans are desperate to believe there is hope for the future, that the world can be better.

With stirring speeches somewhat reminiscent of Robert F. Kennedy, Obama provides that much-needed hope.

3. Don't you get it The Right
Wing think that Obama is easy to beat. He, as far as I am concerned, is too arrogant and self serving . Not a lot different than bushie.
