i love barack obama.

i don't want to stray from the point of this blog, but i also feel like this is the best way to express my opinion and not offend people.  well, i might offend some people, but i guess i feel like they don't have to read it if they don't want to.  not like a million people read this, but i do think that maybe all of them don't agree with me.  :) that's fine, just wanted to share my opinions on all this political mumbo-jumbo that's happening.  as most of you probably know (hayley a little more than others :)), i've never really supported our current administration for any of their 8 years...  which means that, obviously, i'm not going to support voting for 4 more of the same.  and i, like a lot of people, i think, have gotten more into this election than any other- for whatever reason.  i'm trying to find a good way to write that i'm trying to see both sides, but let's face it, i support Barack Obama and do not support McCain.  i feel like a lot of people, on both sides, listen to what their own candidate has to say, take it as it is, and don't question it.  i feel like i'm about to go off on a tangent and not stick to the point, but after this week, listening to the speeches at the republican national convention, i'm depressed.  i know that politics is a lot about painting the other side negatively, but they stooped pretty damn low this week.  i don't want to start ranting and raving, but they were just mean.  the first night was ok, but rudy giuliani and sarah palin (don't get me started) took the stage and didn't say a damn thing about why we should vote for john mccain, just made fun of obama.  my dad (who i happen to think is one of the smartest people i know) says it's because they're obviously afraid of not being elected.  i think he's right.  i also think they shot themselves in the foot (feet).  after the RNC was over, the john mccain campaign raised 1 million dollars.  and obama, 10.  i think that sums it up.  sorry this wasn't about babies... :) and to leave you on a lighter note, i love jon stewart!!!  please, if you've taken the time to read this, watch this clip.
