i was a former Hillary supporter.. but a lot of how i feel still aligns with Obama’s policies..
so i guess im somewhat obama’s supporter by default.
mccain..hell no. excuse my language.
it would be AWESOME if it was a obama/hillary ticket
i think they can get over their differences/past or at least some/most of it..
OBAMA AS PREZ /HILLARY AS VP!

As a Columbia student, I’m extremely proud of Obama’s accomplishment.

obama is def a likable candidate…but my interest in politics is practically nil. sorry. i can’t place my faith in a person who has a way with words. that way i don’t get disappointed. i only hope that whoever is up next does a better job than this president.

i’m much more superficial so i’ll turn to a new topic that’s closer to my interests…dramas!!!
i must say that My Sweet City with choi kang hee is adorable. i only started liking her recently after years of feeling like she was just too spacey for me. in this drama, her spaciness is totally cute. it’s offbeat while using familiar material (old maids, younger men, BFF guys/gals, white-collars, etc); it’s promising. i’m interested to see what you think, though, tastes seem to vary unless it’s something as phenomenal as coffee prince/samsoon/dalja.

I went to Obama’s Rally in Dallas.
It was my first act of political activism, then I voted in the primaries.

Either way you look at it, both parties have moderate views, it’s just the two major ones that divide the nation: Iraq and Economics.

I’ll be voting for the first time in a presidential contest in November, I hope Obama wins, just so I’ll hear something different in the news other than how many bomb blasts occurred during the day, the latest death toll from the latest natural disaster, and the soaring price of oil due to US dependency.

I’m sorry, I know that I have to be aware of these things, but sometimes it gets too depressing (so depressing, it’s heart-wrenching). I really hope a different leader will inspire different changes in the way things are being dealt with now.

As you can tell, I totally bought into Obama’s message for change.

As long as Hilary doens’t win, I think I’ll be one happy American. Though Clinton AND Obama have lots of weak points, I’m not willing to give up the Presidential title to a devil woman. And I’m not sexist, I would gladly vote for a female candidate, just not her.

So I guess my vote goes to Obama, I would vote for McCain but I’m not Republican plus I don’t agree with his status on some issues.

I like the way Obama presents his speeches, it’s like watching a black priest preaching. Racist, I know.

there’s nothing wrong with inspiring hope, it’s just sometimes people can be too optimistic and then disappointed later on. i just reeeeeeeeeeeally hope, if elected, Obama will be able to do a good job. under the circumstances, nobody seems to be able to, thus the pessimism.
america just needs some good diplomats, especially as a declining power.

Remember, ACTIONS speak louder than words(however well they are spoken)!
If Obama gets elected I’m waiting to see just how many of those fine words translate into reality. I live in HOPE!
