Barack Obama – Yes we can

I can’t remember if I’ve ever wanted to hear a person’s speech after they realized they would be the next U.S. President, and I know I’ve never listened with hope. These are two of three very amazing things that happened tonight.

Hope is an awesome thing.

I Love It!

My friend Seth sent me this video of his daughter’s political views last week and I love it!

Enough said.

I Can’t Seem to Care About the 2008 Election

I know it’s blasphemy, but I am not really feeling anybody…I’m not feeling this Obama or McCain.

I need to get into it, research the candidates and see which one is less of an ass. I feel like I should go Democrat as the last Republican has been such a disaster and lately these Republicans have been somewhat evil, working all the angles in a negative, self-fulfilling way. Their focus is on money and power, not on people and definitely not on the planet.

On the other hand, Democrats seem to be wishy-washy, very easily bullied, controlled, not very organized and somewhat dull. Where has all the revolutionary spirit gone?

Both sides aren’t super fresh or exciting to learn about, but I am speaking out of ignorance, you never know what may come around the corner….well sometimes I know, but on occasion things surprise me.

I’ll list some sites I intend to use for research in case anyone else out there is stuck like me or just interested. If I happen to come across anything, i will update this entry with more on this issue.

Here’s some 2008 Campaign Research Links:

1. The Nation
2. The Economist
3. Colorlines
4. Mother Jones
5. Bitch
6. Yes!

I want to get excited about elections and not feel doomed to choose between Tweedle-Dee and Tweedle-Dumb.

What to do…
