Barack speaks to my heart!

Addressing a crowd of more than 1,600 in Manchester, Obama urged
Democrats to harness the momentum of last month's election and craft an
agenda that reaches beyond party lines. After years of partisan bickering and
"slash-and-burn politics," Obama said, Americans are yearning for a new style of
leadership.
"There's no reason why we can't create a system where everybody
has decent health care. There is no reason why we can't have energy independence
in this country," Obama said. "There is no reason why we can't craft a national
security strategy that is tough and smart, because what we've seen is tough and
dumb.
"That's not a Democratic agenda or a Republican agenda," he said.
"That's an American agenda."

I will never claim to be a guru in politics. I majored in Political Science for two years in college, and switched to English, because I found it very hard to enjoy my time in the classes that were needed. Yet, now since I have become a husband, dad, and, I guess, a grown-up I have taken much more of an active role in who is representing our country. Obama, is the first politician since I have become educated enough to know what kind of politician I want representing me, that I have felt drawn to. I have heard the comparisons to Bobby Kennedy. Now, I didn't ever get to see Bobby Kennedy, but I am much more interested in him know because of Obama. So, I will now become a better person because I will go back to our history and learn more about Bobby Kennedy and the Kennedy family because of Obama's influence. He has really spoke to my heart. He makes me trust him, and I have not ever felt that way about a politician. I am not some love sick teenage girl, although I may sound that way right now. I am doing more and more research into Obama, so I can truly make an educated decision of whether or not to follow him, should he chose to run. So stay with me, and let's find out if he is the real deal. And, if he can find a way for everyone to have health care (like most countries do) I think we all would feel like he is right for us.
