Just the other day in my United States History class, my fairly conservative professor was criticizing the mainstream media as too liberal and said about the mainstream media being based out of New York and Los Angeles. He said I don’t know about you guys, but I don’t think like people from those cities. Perhaps he is on to something. The mainstream media are the people trying to spoon feed us Hillary 2008. What true progressive could want this? Her main concerns are with a political legacy rather than progress. Why else would her views change so much so fast?

Barack Obama is much more dynamic and exciting. He is a fresh face that can beat Hillary. As I have stated so many times on this blog, I live in rural Pennsylvania where small town swing voters do not particularly like Hillary. The mainstream media sometimes acts as though Hillary already has the White House in 2008. No matter what Hillary does to make herself moderate, she cannot lose that reputation as a liberal New York carpetbagger who is the wife of an adulterer in rural areas. Don’t get me wrong, I like Hillary. She is a great Senator, but I just feel that she is playing politics way too much with her potential 2008 bid.

Barack Obama has only been in the Senate for two years. He does not have a lengthy voting record that can be attacked by a conservative opponent. Obama is just that kind of guy who you would feel bad for trying to attack. He just seems like an all around nice guy.

I mean, I just have so much support for this guy I don’t even know how to word it. Let me put it like this…last week I saw that new movie BOBBY. Obviously, the movie portrays Bobby Kennedy as this larger than life guy who was going to save the country. It makes you think, wow, why can’t we have someone like that today?

RIGHT AFTER the movie, both my buddy and I started talking about it and we realized we were both thinking the same thing. The only person who can be like that today is Barack Obama.

I am telling you, this is the guy we need in 2008. I really think he could put this country on the right direction. He would be the first African American president. America is ready for an African American president!
Even Neil Young thinks Obama can do it:

Someone walks among us
And I hope he hears the call
And maybe it’s a woman
Or a black man after all

Yeah maybe it’s Obama
But he thinks that he’s too young

Well, Neil, it does not seem like that anymore. Obama is talking about running! Now, let’s get behind him and send this country back in the right direction! Because no matter how many video game violence awareness ads she gets in with Joe Lieberman, Hillary can’t win back the heartland.
