These are my personal reasons for supporting Barack Obama. They are written right out of my heart and soul. I'm sure you have other great reasons. Please add them in response and/or use these however you wish for the good of this cause.
He brings a fresh approach to politics. Being comparatively new to Washington is a plus. Abraham Lincoln had less government experience before running for President.
He is intelligent, well educated, broad minded, with fresh approaches and new ideas for effective change.
He is optimistic for America’s future.
His “audacity of hope” heralds a fresh start, a new Spring for America after a long Winter of despair.
The breadth of his cultural and racial heritage gives him consciousness of the vibrant nature of our world community and of America’s meaningful contribution within it.
His varied cultural and racial heritage speaks for a new America of the future that will be multi-racial and multi-cultural in origin in a greater sense than now. America more than any other nation will reflect the coming together of all races and cultures to form a new world humanity heralding a new future for all people.
His ability to get to the heart of an issue inspires us all to think deeply in all aspects of our lives.
He demonstrates the great spiritual and philosophical traditions of all humanity in the personal wisdom and spiritual values he brings to any discussion. This will empower him as a world leader as well as our President.
He is one of those rare individuals, such as Lincoln, Gandhi, Kennedy, who possess a quality somehow beyond the normal because of their depth of commitment.
He is a beautifully human individual, full of love for his family, his country, and for life in general. He knows how to have fun.
He has a sense of humor about himself that protects him from grandiosity and makes it possible for him to recognize and admit a mistake.
He knows how and when to say, “I’m sorry!” – and to say it in such a way as to increase understanding of all issues and bring people together for solution.
He involves everyone in effective change, helping to create a new community called America where all are involved and committed to each other and to the nation.
He is a great organizer, involving everyone from the ground up. Just witness his successful campaign and how so many are enthusiastically involved!
Finally, in the words of one of my readers on the Barack Obama website - He is a great listener who cares deeply for each individual he meets.
Please comment and add your own reasons!
The time for Barack Obama to be president is now, not later. America needs Obama and his leadership at this very moment.
You add so much to what one can think of these events. Obama would do well to read your words and take heed.
ReplyDeleteCharasmatic...yes! Educated...yes!!
Good organizer...hmm...OK
Did he get some of my money..YES!
I agree that Obama is in a time that may well be his. I hope that he has good sense to use his campaign to better his position then maintain that moral character that draws constiuents such as me to his camp to eventually recieve my vote and others on election day.
I certainly join you in that hope. and I add - trust - from my faith that he will do just that!
