What's His Name? Obama Bin Laden?

Purely jest. I'm finding myself truly interested in the political landscape. For some of you, the following might be disturbing and feel wrong, but I can't help but be excited about Barack Obama. He's a politician that makes me want to act instead of react. Many people, who in the past were numb to politics, are coming out to vote. His speeches and charisma are causing some to name drop MLK and JFK. He doesn't share all of my beliefs, but he is willing to work with others, despite party affiliation, to make things happen. And, in a time when our country is looked upon with scorn, what do we need more than a charismatic, world-wise president. I'll be the first one to say that I was turned off in 2004 when actors and musicians jumped on Kerry's bandwagon. I felt like it was more anti-Bush than pro-Kerry. But now I see people with Obama buttons (Wilco) or others putting on support shows (Arcade Fire), and I can't help but think that they are just as hopeful and excited about Obama's potential presidency as I am. Oh, and O approves. I have finally voted for the right reason--I'm for a candidate--Barack Obama.
