Thank you Lil Dancer and I would also add as accomplishments, Senator Obama has given many voters a voice that never felt they had one, united and excited young voters, brought this country together in a way I have not seen since John F. Kennedy and, yes, given me hope for a change. I honestly don't remember when "hope" and "change" became dirty words. My favorite quote has always been "Never take a person's hope away . . . it might be all they have." I've kept that in mind all of my life. I never stomp on people's dreams or hopes. The good part of all of this is that Senator Barack Obama has the intelligence, broad spectrum of plans on ALL the issues and guts to back them up with. (I should say I also love Hillary, but for a few different reasons.) I don't know about you but I'll vote for hope and change anytime over same old, same old. Just my opinion.
