Southisms officially endorses Obama

Just so we’re clear, kids, I am not a US registered voter nor am I a citizen yet. My mom’s Republican husband is voting for McCain (despite initially rooting for the more formidable Ron Paul), naturally with the intention of keeping Obama from winning the presidency. If you are a registered American voter, I advise you to vote for Obama instead and let me tell why you shouldn’t vote McCain.
If you are voting McCain, you will give the presidency the political leverage to continue to spend more money on the expensive and highly unethical war in Iraq. As Nicholas Kristof of NY Times had put:
An American President who keeps troops in Iraq indefinitely, fulinates about Islamic terrorism, inclines toward military solutions and antagonizes other nations is an excellent recruiting tool. In contrast, an African-American president with a Muslim gradnfather and a penchant for building bridges rather than blowing them up would give Al Qaida recruiters fits.
If you are voting McCain, the likely chance that your ability to afford medical services will not change from the way they are now. Under McCain’s policy, it will result to Americans still battling with self-interested insurance companies rather than government securing that the insurance is not a question but a right. McCain proposes that the US government should have nothing to do with insurance and is leaving your health care in the hands of those who wish to make money out of you. Good luck.
If you are voting McCain, you will be backing a leader who is hesitant in sending foreign aid where the world needs it, panders to the interest of private corporations and has a little or no humanitarian world view.
Finally, if you are voting McCain, you will give the government the power to withhold or insufficiently subsidize important government responsibilities apart from health care, and that is education, advanced medical research and improved domestic welfare.
Listen to the Global preference, a cry for reason. You are not only voting for an American leader but a world power. Understand the gravity of your choice and how it impacts people across the globe. Sense the desperation for renewal in American leadership and political narrative.
Vote Obama. Vote Change.

I am not a registered US registered voter either but I am here in the US and has been breaking my back to earn a living.
I do not like Obama to become a President of the U.S. because he is encouraging some people to become lazy and become so dependent with government benefits like food stamps and the like. Why on earth would a government decides to give out or distribute wealth to people who don’t work and take it from people who does? Who in their right sense of mind would give tax credits to those who don’t even pay their taxes? Where do you think the government will get this money to subsidize these benefits that they intend or plan to do? Naturally from people who paid their taxes; from people they categorized as “Rich”! I am already being categorized as “Rich” based on their bracketting.
Hello! Wake up! If that materializes I’d rather not work so hard….just earn enough, make sure that my income don’t exceed that range wherein I could be labelled as “Rich” and work just like some of my co-workers who are currently receiving benefits from the government; free milk formulas for their babies (the reason they are not afraid to have more babies because they get their monthly supply and then just sell it to others who unfortunately could not qualify because they are earning a little more); free medicals (without paying medical insurance); free food stamps, and what else! Imagine that? These people I am talking about even refuse work made available for them for reason that they will exceed the allowable income provided for in order to receive those benefits. With Obama’s government, he plans to even give more and take it from people who work hard???
I am not saying this because my husband is a Republican. I hate politics from the start, their dirt and corruption. I hate listening and knowing what they have done for this country. When I came here, I have so much high regard with how they run their government and make this place a Great Country, only to be disappointed to see at how politicians are pulling this country down, how people wants “Change” without even looking deeper if this so called “Change” is the right approach, at how politicians who want to win this election lie and what more at how people could be so blind to see the difference.
How could they easily forget what type of people wants to destroy America, what type of people killed more than a thousand because they hated America? This type of people now wants to rule America, they don’t respect their Constitution and their founding fathers who framed it, so they questioned it and wants to “Change” it. With what???
IF PEOPLE IN THIS COUNTRY WANTS ‘CHANGE” THEN MAKE IT A CHANGE FOR THE BETTER!
In any country in the world, taxes are imposed progressively depending on their earning capability. If you look at all the other first world countries apart from US, they all pay high taxes to their government which may result to lower annual income. But the quality of life of individuals of those countries are better. The US is the only first world country that doesn’t have free health care. The US is the only first world country with a declining literacy rate because there are hardly any substantial support for the educational system. The administrations of the past few years have forgotten how to take care of their people as well as special international interests that would’ve edified the important role of the US in the world. They’ve pandered to businesses. The rich keeps getting richer, the poor even poorer. And I suspect that not too many Americans know what poverty really means.
A constituency that is healthier and more educated will result to more productivity.
Everyone pays taxes no matter what. Many things that you buy are already taxed. Now, the good thing about the change Obama is proposing is that he is bound to lower the cost of Medicine, ultimately, which the Pharmaceutical and Insurance companies have controlled to the extent of keeping Americans from their fundamental health needs. Imagine if your medicine was FREE and that the government is obligated to keep you healthy. That’s how things should be and haven’t been in America. Improving social welfare is really for a greater good and a wise investment.
Now, Obama’s administration will really change a lot of things including minimizing the influence of lobbyists. When that happens, it’s a cultural change in how Washington conducts its business. I am aware that some of the taxes imposed, even the income tax is unconstitutional if you look at it historically. The Federal bank is owned by the richest of the rich. Change will have to take place one step at a time and it should start with crushing unethical lobbying. There’s nothing wrong with lobbying per se, as long as its humanitarian and it doesn’t bypass anyone’s freedom. Cultural change is key to leading America into the right direction.
Now, how deeply are you able to look into the potential change that can take place? It’s either you want it or not.
hehe. u know what kim, i think, unofficially, you are part of Obama’s team, and according to him the best political campaign team that has been put up in the history of American elections. hehehe. one of the convention-breaking things that obama did for this campaign is the use of financing for presidential election or any other elections for that matter. now there’s where Philippines can get a gargantuan lesson from, don’t u think? hahaha. and i’ve been repeating this everywhere, obama is not just a leader, he’s an icon, he’s a symbol, of cultural or religious unity, hope, democracy, liberty, and that is why the he has gone global. and yes, he did it. he triumphed but more important things are up ahead. and if everyone, not just the Americans uphold that collective creed of Yes we can, then we will.
