Barack Obama-Voice of change? In the world of politics, a face of true change comes around about once a generation. The last real voice of change in America was the Kennedy family, both John and Bobby. It seems that the time has come for a new voice of change, and his name is Barack Obama. A democratic hopeful for the white house who has continued to gain momentum throughout the primary season, people seem to be drawn to him in a way they simply aren’t drawn to any of the other options. For a change this seems to be less about change for the sake of change, and more about a real choice that this man stands for what the average American believes in. For so many years politics has been about who can do the least damage. Choosing the lesser of two evils is not the way to go about deciding who is going to rule the country, and that’s what we as a country have done for quite some time now. This time around it appears there are multiple legitimate options to run this country, especially on the Democratic side. No matter whether you back Barack or not, the consensus is that he comes far closer to representing what we as Americans believe in than anyone we’ve had as a choice in far too long. Obama has said all along that he believes that change in America starts from the bottom up, which is what this election is about. Does the status quo continue, or do the American people stand up and say it’s time to take some responsibility for the condition our country is in. The majority of people do not agree with the job the President is doing but haven’t figured out what they can do about it. The answer there is easy, vote for the voice of change in politics. This is an election now simply based on who can run the country the best from a logical perspective, because quite honestly, that very likely isn’t Barack Obama. I vote for Barack with the understanding that he doesn’t bring the same experience that others would. I personally consider that a good thing. He hasn’t been indoctrinated in the same way most others have that have been in politics for so much longer. It’s about time the American people had a voice that truly represents them, and Barack Obama should be that voice. |
