Barack delivers
[Read the article: Barack delivers, Hillary disappoints]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]The voters in Iowa spoke loudly and clearly that they want change, reconcilation, and hope and an end to the polarization and lying the Clintons are so famous for. The voters in New Hampshire will need to decide whether they want a candidate like Barack Obama who will bring the nation together to solve the problems we face and has an excellent first lady in his wife Michelle, a woman of intelligence, class, and dignity, or whether they want to go back to the good old days of the Clintons and Monica, Travelgate, White Water, Vast Right Wing conspiracies, unending lying and polarization. I for one, a lifelong Democrat, choose Barack Obama, and thus choose change, reconciliation and hope.

It's Time to send the Clinton's a Message
[Read the article: Bill Clinton: The Chris Matthews of South Carolina]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I am a lifelong Democrat, and I am absolutely disgusted with the mud-slingling, character assassination, incessant lying, and politics of personal destruction the Clinton campaign and former president continues to display. I will vote for John McCain before I ever vote for Hillary Clinton. The Clinton's win-at-all-costs campaign of lying, rumor, innuendo, tearing your opponent down and trying to scare the public is something they are experts at. I am enthusiastically voting for Barack Obama who is a person who can unite us all to solve the many problems our country faces. He brings inspiration, hope, and change, and we certainly need change and that means no more Bush or Clinton's in the White House. If one compares the spouses of the two main Democratic contenders you have Michelle Obama, a woman of intelligence, grace, class, and dignity and then you have Bill Clinton. Enough said. America deserves better than what the Clintons offer. When the Clinton's come asking for your vote it's America just says NO.

Barack Obama - The Best choice for a divided America
[Read the article: Obama's the most liberal senator?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I am a moderate Democrat but I am enthusiastically supporting Barack Obama because I believe he will bring about the changes our nation so badly needs by reaching across the aisle and working with members of both parties. The bitter partisanship in Congress is making it impossible to get reforms in healthcare, the environment, immigration and our foreign policy. Hillary Clinton has ran a nasty, mean-spirted campaign against Obama, full of mud-slingling, character assassination and the politics of personal destruction. As President she and her husband will make the presidencies of Richard Nixon and George W. Bush pale in comparison when it comes their vindictiveness, secretiveness and wanting to get back at their enemies.
America has too many problems that need to be resolved and they never will be resolved if we demonize those who disagree with us. Obama has proven he can work with those whose views don't always equal his in a way to find common ground and get meaningful legislation passed that will benefit all Americans. He will hold true to his beliefs but will still be able to get majorities to pass legislation because of the type of leader he is.
We don't need more partisanship in Congress, we need less. We don't need more lies, more mud slinging, and more dirty campaigning. Nixon is long gone, and Bush will soon be gone. If revenge and getting back at the Republicans is your motive, then vote for Hillary Clinton. If progress and change and laws protecting our environment, extending healthcare to more of our citizens, a fair and decent immigration policy, and a foreign policy that will restore American values without making us a pariah in the world is what you want, then you have one clear choice: Barack Obama.
