Keppin' it Real!

I've never really been one to follow politics or the presidential race. Not because I wasn't interested, but because I never felt strongly about any of the candidates. They have always seemed fake to me. When you don't personally know someone it's hard to trust them. How am I suppose to know you actually care about ending poverty? ...Coming from a millionaire, that's hard to believe. To me, people in politics are not real people. With a team behind them, they almost just have to show up to places. The rest of the work has been done for them. From the speeches, all the way down to what they are going to wear it all planned. This year, it's a different game. With a women & a Black man going head to head, its so hmmm....."Un-American." And I like it, because change is good. I know that it isn't possible for all voters to have a personal relationship with their candidate of choice, but a sence of trust is necessary, and that is what I have found in Barack Obama.
The Obama family is changing the face of America, everyday. Not only are they African-American, but they are REAL PEOPLE! When I hear Barack Obama speak I feel like I'm sitting in my living room having a personal conversation with him. Now, now, now...I know that there is alot of speculations that African-American people are only voting for him because hes Black, but I really don't agree with that. I wholeheartedly believe that the reason that America has fallen in love with this man is because we all can relate to him in at least one way. Unlike other candidates he didn't "change" for his campaign. He still gets his hair cut in the same barber he has be using for years in Chicago, despite his new lifestyle. Obama is a family man, and you can see that his wife & daughters mean way more to him than becoming the president.

I actually believe everything Obama says, and believe that he will lead us in changing America for the better.

GO OBAMA!
