I fully agree with both Bluesssman and Billua.

I was pulling for Edwards prior to him dropping out of the race, but Obama was my second choice of the whole Dem field of candidates - so he's my choice now.

Obama has always come accross to me as a real person. One from a diverse background that also has that unique ability to bring folks from diverse background together to achieve a common purpose. Man, what a talent that truly is. And Obama has it! How long has it been since we had a leader like that?

His recent speach just convinced me even more that he is indeed ready to run this country and to get some things fixed that Bush and others before him have neglected or screwed up.

Obama did not shy away from the issue about Wright, but rather addressed it and then moved on, asking the most pertient question of the times (paraphrased into my words) ; Do we Americans want to waste time wallowing in petty politics that uses labels (race, gender, ethinic background, etc.) as a distraction weapon, or do we Americans want to discuss and focus on the REAL problems and issues (health care, economy, jobs) facing this country?

I would prefer that our leaders do the later and get things fixed!
