Intentions are everything!!

As a woman the strategic and manipulaive tactics of John McCain picking a woman as his VP to gain support from Hillary Clinton supporters is offensive and quite honestly too late. Besides undermining the intelligence of the American people with a strategic move that would put the dirtiest chess player to shame, he is about 48 hours too late. After Hillary Clinton's magnificent speech on tuesday night and Bill's excellent and eloquent address on Wednesday I think Its safe to say that any Hillary supporter that wasn't feeling Obama before the Democratic convention has moved to Obama with an urgency of unity. With every interview after interview there is proof of this; hard core hillary supporters (I used to be one by the way) who decided that Its not about the person...rather, its about the cause: Well needed change.

John McCain...I'm dissapointed. NOT because you picked a woman..but for the REASON. A person's intentions mean an awful lot to me....and I think many American's feel the same way.

A FAN OF THE TIMES

I AM ABSOLUTELTY LOVING THIS. ALL OF IT. To see a Black Man...intelligent...respected...handsom...family man...it warms my heart and makes me love being black even more than I already did. I am so proud of him and all of his accomplishments. I interned for Hillary and a lot of HATERS try and act like that means I can't like Barack. Well they can go kick rocks. I love OBAMA and am excited that he is where he is. The country needed him to step up...to expose the good and the bad when it comes to race relations in the U.S. among other very important issues.

I feel this weird sense of 'history is being made..so pay attention' creeping up on me. Think about what we are living through as a people. Barack Obama represents more than just the First Formitable Black Democratic Nominee for President. He represents the dreams and hopes of a people who for OVER 400 years....IN THIS COUNTRY...ON THIS SOIL....suffered and endured being an oppressed people. He represents the dreams and hopes of ANYONE who has ever worked and strived toward ambitious dreams that were for so long considered by the world to be TOO ambitious and out of reach in 'these times'.

We should all be so brave as to answer our call to greatness! I am excited. I will cry if he wins and cry if he loses. Its that deep to me.

40 years from now I will be excited to tell anyone I know that I was apart of this great movement. My grandchildren will ask me if 'I was there when....' and I will smile and say 'I sure was'
