Why Obama

I talked to my dad yesterday about Obama's Thursday night convention speech. And as I left the gym today and saw an Obama commercial on one of the televisions in the locker room, I realized why I support Obama so strongly.

It's not because I think that he's going to go to the White House and fix all of our problems.

Instead, it's because he seems to understand those challenges in the same way I do.

And while I know that I don't have answers to all the issues our next president will face, it's gratifying to know that one of the candidates at least is sizing up the world similarly to me.
