Election Day
I voted. Barack Obama all the way.
I don't think I've ever known a candidate before an election as well as I know Barack Obama. I didn't vote in the primaries, and I've only come to know him from his books, debates, and media appearances. But if I look at that sum of information, there remains no clearer choice for president of our country.
His passion, intelligence, and character remind me of the person I want to be. They remind me of my father. They remind me of what we should all aspire for in this life. We should all have the compassion to give as much to our fellow men as we give to ourselves. We should all have the wisdom of seeing the world through un-American eyes. And we should all have the courage and grace to stand up to violence with calm discourse in preference over impulsive aggression.
As a hope for my son and our country, I pray that Barack Obama becomes President of the United States of America.
