Obama

I have heard from the news reports that say the young voters are voting for Obama. I wanted to know if that is true. If so why are you voting for Obama.

The rhetoric of fear, the games we have seen our politicians play, it's all served to give us a bitter taste in our mouths. And it's also given us quite a reputation around the world.

When you hear the 'smooth' talk, you hear calm, coolness, you hear change for the better, you hear the way the world, and the US could be. If only we had a leader that didn't shoot from the hip, that thought through things, that made decisions for the country, and not for the corporations.

He gives us hope that things CAN change.

This is a very general reason to vote for Obama, and if I got more specific, I'd need more space, and more time. And I'm not sure I'm considered the YOUTH voters, because I'm 33. But I still feel like I can speak to this question.; ▶ Reply to This

If he gives us something to that says the he thinks our troop need more assistant them he might get the respect but for him not to sign the GI bill that was like whow! Ang you were a soldier and wounded. So I cannt respect a man that wont help someone like a solider out. Its like he turn up his nose at them like he's better then them.; ▶ Reply to This
