Not sure if there will ever again be an election like this one in my lifetime, and I am so proud of my country right now. Many people wanted to know why I was going to vote for Obama, and the reasons are many, but most importantly he inspires me to be a better person. I don’t think I’m alone when I say that, and so I can imagine a multitude of people out there striving to make the world around them better.
Both he and Michelle Obama make me want to be a better person. Here’s to making the world around us a better place. Yes, we can!
Hate to see the nation being run by a hack
Dig the situation that he dug in Iraq
Half the population wants to give him the sack
And now he’s lookin’ round for somebody else to attack
We need somebody great to get us back on the track
So we’re takin’ it back with Barack, Jack!
Choo Choo, Change to believe in
Woo woo, we can achieve it
Choo Choo, Change to believe in
Takin’ it back with Barack, Jack!
Now that global warming is a matter of fact
The only real question is just how to react
The new administration needs the guts to enact
Drastic legislation, leave the planet intact
We can’t be foolin’ round with some Republican Mac
So we’re takin’ it back with Barack, Jack!
Choo Choo….
He only gets his money from your regular macs
Doesn’t take a penny from some whackity PAC’s
For bringin’ folk together he’s the man with the knack
And he’ll supply the hope and inspiration we lack
Cause he’s the best we got and did I ….mention he’s black?
So we’re takin’ it back with Barack, Jack!
Just for the record: I like McCain. I think he’s a good person and has done a lot of good during his political career. During this election, I was cheering for Hillary and think she would be a great president. BUT, now that she isn’t in the running, and McCain is pandering to the right and has selected a conservative, seemingly simple minded person, as his running mate, I’m taking it back with Barack! Oh, and I love Michelle Obama. She will be an awesome first lady.
ps: For any real swing voters out there: I read all of the above three candidates positions- everything they had written on their websites. Overall, I agreed the most with Hillary, then with Obama, and then with McCain. Although Obama did have a few ideas I liked better than Hillary’s concerning taxes.
Before you knock either Obama or McCain, I suggest reading their websites and their voting records and deciding based on the facts rather than inflammatory emails. I think they are both good people but with very different ideas about which policies and regulations they want to implement. Check out the issues.
pps: I can’t say the same about Palin. I think she is unfit to be vice-president, her views are extremist and she seems inept- in the same ball park as George Bush.

Will somebody wear me to the fair?
Will a lady pin me in her hair?
Will a child find me by a stream?
Kiss my petals and weave me through a dream
For all of these simple things and much more a flower was born
It blooms to spread love and joy faith and hope to people forlorn
Inside every man [...]
