I love politics. I love the argument, I love the convictions, and I love the deep critical global meaning of it all. I had some serious issues in deciding my candidate, as I assume many people have this year from how close these contests have been.
Sure, I was disappointed with Bill Clinton’s behavior and Hillary’s manipulation of vocabulary. This certainly did not bring me any closer to voting for her, but ultimately it was not the reason that I voted for Barack Obama. I voted for Barack Obama for one simple reason. One deeply intellectual and experienced person in the Whitehouse can only do so much. One truly inspirational leader in the Whitehouse can drive the cause to a much larger group, and can motivate an army of intellectual and experienced people for the greater good.
I love the line “We are the ones that we have been waiting for.”
