Like you, I was first introduced to and impressed by him after having read The Audicity of Hope. I am reassured by having a president who exudes intelligence and a rational, thoughtful understanding of what our country stands for and what individuals of all walks of life need in order to live well and equally.

I support the President ...Hi Beth -- Good for you. I support the President because this election really is a choice between policies that benefit most Americans and policies that don't really do that, no matter how much they're disguised. Privatizing Medicare would be a big mistake, as anyone who has watched their 401K dwindle must agree. I can't imagine telling 85 year olds that their vouchers won't get them enough coverage. I'd rather have a President that looks out for everyone, not just the privileged few.Martyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05696228344180197628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-736448434152217111.post-74106150579278659302012-10-15T23:15:00.037-04:002012-10-15T23:15:00.037-04:00You articulated much of why I voted for him in 08 ...You articulated much of why I voted for him in 08 and why I will again.

Also, though I am a liberal, he is a pragmatist.

You write so beautifully and with such eloquence that I can't help but be emotionally impacted. <br /><br />I share your support of the President and your reasons for that support. I also don't agree with him on everything but I've never known anyone with whom I agreed on everything! I like where he stands on the really important stuff.<br /><br />Well said, my dear friend. <br /><br />Thanks for the unicorn, rainbow picture that left me with a big giggle at the end of your post. I love it!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04614116686638969278noreply@blogger.com
