History unfolding

It's less than 2 weeks to Election Day 2008. In my opinion, every presidential election is historical. This one, however, is historical even for presidential politics. There's a real chance of either a black president or a female vice president. Hopefully, the first, not the second. Yup. there it is. I've revealed who I support. Months ago, I decided to go with Obama.

I have been wondering something... if Barack's name was Barnaby Harold Obama instead of Barack Hussein Obama... would there be all this negative stuff connecting him to terrorists? I doubt it. But the negative stuff is there. Not just from the Republican party officials... but everyday ordinary folks... it's real sad that people at McCain or Palin rallies are yelling things like "he's a terrorist" and "kill him"... I wonder if the secret service got names.

Less than 2 weeks. History unfolding.

Go you must
No guest
Shall stay long
In one place forever
Love will be lost
If you sit too long
At a friend’s fire.
