In the paper months ago. We need this reminder again.

I like Barack Obama. Not just as a candidate, but as a politician, a man, and a human being.

The reason why I like him? He allows my dream to exit. He proves that a young man from the middle class can defy the odds to excel quickly in his career, all while following his dreams. Obama’s platform rebels against the standards set today by politicians from an old era. And not only would Obama simply achieve his dream. He would leave a lasting impression on our country and inspire millions of minorities and young people to partake in the elections.

Hs ideas and platform not only evoke hope and great enthusiasm for an individual philosophy, but they make one believe in a new generation of politics and ideas that may evolve into the modern day face of reform. IT would be a great chapter in American History to elect a young, fresh, mildly experienced candidate into the role of chief executive. He would be a young president in a country that is seeing issues arise on diverse topics that senior politicians simply can’t relate to. Obama is the change we speak of. We want to move on from the so-called “experience” of Dick Cheney and Hilary Clinton, and move forth toward a new style of thought and government. One that can help people who personally bring down unemployment rates by working 3 “Wal-Mart” jobs. Analogously, through this new political movement, Obama is doing to American politics what Tiger Woods did to golf.

The opposition’s best tactic is to keep challenging the Obamians to explain what this change is. It is hard to explain, because what it is is a philosophy; A strong modern-day social liberalism. Obama’s reforms would be reminiscent to FDR’s New Deal, allowing a new movement in Government. Barack truly represents what the modern-day democrat is.

We are the United States of America. Our country is a Republican Democracy, not a Constitutional monarchy. Should we enter 30 straight years of Bush and Clinton family rule? The Young people want something new. The American People want something new. That is what we mean by change. Change to the Presidency, change to the Congress, change to the ruling party’s last name. If Obama’s dream becomes reality, then the much needed American Dream will live on as well. Keep the dream alive.
