I voted for Obama.

To me, every election is about "picking the lesser of two evils." I don't agree with everything Obama says or supports or wants, but I agreed with more of it than I did with McCain's views.

I feel we need to get out of Iraq. I think we have enough problems at home that need our attention. Not that I don't feel for the people in the Middle East, but I feel for our citizens' problems and I think the billions upon billions of dollars we spend over there would be better served healing our own domestic economic, educational, health care, social security, etc. woes. We need to clean our own house before we go marching around telling other countries how dirty theirs are.

I am pro-choice. I did not say I am pro-abortion. I simply do not believe it is up to others' to dictate that choice for someone else. If abortion is a mortal sin, then God will take care of it Himself. He doesn't need help from the US goverment.

I feel Obama is looking more toward the future, not toward the past and the "way we've always done things around here." The future of this country, and the world, lies in technology, economics, and peace. The future lies in young, optimistic people of all races and nationalities working together. The John Wayne, conquer by force and might, come in the saloon doors with six-shooters blazing philosphy is an outdated and dangerous view.
