    Obama Transcends Race

    Senator Obama offers a political vision and integrity that makes us want to be a better people and a better nation. He strikes the same cord in us that JFK did. I haven't wanted to vote in a long, long time and now I can't wait.

    The Clintons make me sick. They run the swarmiest, most low down campaigns ever. The will do and say anything to regain the Presidential office. It is hard at this point to decide which of them is the most offensive. They have no integrity or crediblility and can lie easier than anyone I have ever seen. Hillary Clinton doesn't deserve to be on the same stage with Senator Obama or John Edwards. P.S. Bill's new neck ties make him look like a carnival hustler.
