It is not the critic who counts...

Pondering over all the different news about the 2008 Election, I just want to blog about it in a way that makes sense to me, the ordinary American voter, simple but not naive.

"Here and there, and now and then, God makes a giant among men. It is not the critic who counts, nor the man who points out where the strong man stumbled, or where the doer of good deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly and comes short again and again, who in the end, knows the triumph of high achievement, or if he fails, fails while daring greatly so that he may never sit with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat." - Teddy Roosevelt

AMERICA IS SEARCHING FOR A LEADER. THAT LEADER IS NOT ONE MAN. "WE THE PEOPLE UNITED AS ONE UNDER GOD." "YES WE CAN!" I support Senator Obama because I believe that he can and will deliver what he says for our country. He speaks like no other candidate. He speaks of uniting all races Asians and Pacific Islanders, Hispanics, Blacks, Native Americans, and Whites, and we all need to be united as one nation with a president that we believe in.

I'm supporting Barack because it's time to put an end to the say-anything-to-win politics of the past. Together, we can face the challenges of the future with a new kind of politics and a new kind of leadership.

it is very clear to everyone that this campaign has generated unprecedented enthusiasm all across the country. Hundreds of thousands of supporters have attended events, canvassed their neighborhoods, and organized their communities for Senator Barack Obama -- and I'm one of them.

The race for the Democratic nomination is still extremely close, and we have the opportunity to make a real difference. I'm supporting Barack Obama, and I hope you'll take a minute to learn more about Barack and this movement for change:
