Believe

Belief is powerful. Belief can heal and it can destroy. I believe in a lot of things but until now I didn’t know what it was to believe in a person. I’ve never been about the individual when it comes to belief. Belief in one person is dangerous, I’m someone who believes in ideas. I’m still someone who believes in ideas. I believe in the ideas of Barrack Obama and believe in his ability to bring change to this country.

I want to make it clear that this isn’t blind belief, I know I won’t agree with everything he does. I know he’s not flawless or perfect. I know he’s got much to do to prove himself. I also know Barrack Obama believes in our country and its people. He believes all of them, regardless of their religion, politics or color. He believes that this truly is a great country and that we can come together. I believe Obama is a man who can help bring us together. l believe that Obama brings hope.

Hope is where this all started for me. A year ago I was not excited about the future of our government. I had no idea who Obama was and I figured the democratic nominee would be Hilary. I didn’t believe in Hilary or her beliefs. I believed the country was in a downwards spiral and I had little to no hope that we would pull out of it. Then I heard Obama speak and for the first time I knew what hope really was. In the end that’s what Obama brings, belief and hope.

There’s a long road ahead and I’m still not sure our economy can be fixed. I do believe that Obama will do everything he can for this country. I believe Obama has hope for this country and that his hope can and will inspire others. For the first time I can see our country heading in a positive direction. For the first time I have hope in our future and for my childrens future.

Election Coverage and Technology

I’m flipping back and forth through election coverage and I’m noticing something. It seems that all the news channels have gone technology happy. We have holograms on CNN, virtual rooms on NBC. It’s like they’re trying to be hip with cheap technology tricks. What I want is good coverage not smoke and mirrors to make boring coverage seem interesting. Sadly most of the coverage is bland at best even with the glitz.

I’m watching my first election coverage of the evening right now. So far I like what I’m seeing but we all know it’s far from over. Still Ohio, Pennsylvania and New York have all been called for Obama, that’s important. I’m not going to live blog this election like I did the last one. Just a status update or two at most. Any little things I have to say I’ll post on twitter. I’m very hopeful right now.
