Spontaneous Musings

Thank you for posting this. I've found it to be very interesting and informative. I decided to vote for Obama a month or so back, largely because I like what he is saying, and feel that, of all the candidates, he offers a new spirit in politics today, one that is very much needed after all the divisiveness of the past two decades. Also, I don't like the Bush-Clinton-Bush-Clinton thingy. We have way to many capable leaders to have two families keep changing the presidency in this manner. I don't like dynasties and think they are harmful to the country. I think that, even though he may not have the experience that others claim, Obama can, if elected, change the tone and the direction of the political discourse, which is reason enough to elect him in my view. Also, I keep reminding myself that we have a large and capable civil service to help any President, regardless of that President's experience or lack thereof. As you can guess, I voted for Obama in our recent primary in Maryland. BTW, I am just so proud that my party will almost certainly nominate either a woman or a person of mixed descent as it's Presidential candidate. I just think it's high time that something like that happened.
