I'm rocking the Obama ticket. From the time Barack was elected to the Senate, interviews, reading bios/book, to what he has done within his own state...I don't know what's going to happen. It's pretty exciting to witness what could perhaps be a defining moment in US history, what could be a change in direction and where it takes us. I like his candor and I like his intentions. Whether he can, will or be allowed to follow through on them will be determined. However, I like that he seems to understand his strengths and weaknesses in order to invite Biden onto the ticket to counter and balance. You know what else I like...his wife who is magnificent in her own right. Damn, I like that she represents a person who seemed to be a superwoman but in reality is a woman who has made choices in terms of what's most important to her individually. I like her wit and honest charm. She's not here for herself, her agenda. Her Husband felt that he may make a difference, and as his partner she supports him and his goals without relinquishing her own. I like the fact that despite her own achievements, at the end of the day she is simply a person who loves her spouse, her kids, her life, friends/family, and her career. That she has concerns about alot of the same issues as other Americans and can relate. I like that kindness and an approachable demeanor doesn't mean she's a doormat, but rather someone who walks softly but carries a big stick.
