I'm for Obama

There comes a time and place where it becomes clear what the right thing to do is.

For me, it was last April, when I decided to buck 10 years of activism in the Democratic party, exercise some political courage and support a man whose tone spoke to my frustration in the current political process.

I came out for Mike Huckabee when he was at 1% in the Republican polls, because I listened to every candidate, in both parties, speak. I really liked what Mike Huckabee said from day one. Huckabee understood that there is a genuine frustration among working people and tried to speak to it, but trying to be a change agent in the Republican party is obvious folly.

Now, as Democrats, we have two choices.

One choice is to choose the past, deception, dishonesty, untruth, division, race baiting and hate.

The other choice is hope. It is a smile. It is uplifting. It is genuine. It is ready to unite. It is ready to knock down boundaries I never imagined would be knocked down.

I'm for Obama.
