Now it’s time for Kansas to put forth their say in who should be the Democratic Party’s Nominee for President.
This year I am in a position I haven’t been for a while. I am a civilian essentially in the process. I don’t work for the Party or an elected official. I am capable of unleashing my talents for one of the candidates.
As you can tell from the title, I am choosing to support Barak Obama. Two reasons why.
First, he is someone who truly can change not just the party in the White House but the nation. We sorely need this. America is reeling from 8 years of the Bush Administration. The nation is fractured and standing on the edge of serious economic problems. Add that to the existing problems with the military and our standing in the world and something needs to be done.
Obama is the person who can bring people together to get things done, not score political points.
The second reason rests with the fact that he was born in El Dorado, Kansas. And the old partisan in me would love to stick it to the Republicans in this state by having a Democrat born in Kansas elected President.
Now it’s time for you to go and caucus for him on February 5th.
