The choice is clear as to whom to vote for

Whom to vote for this year? There is a differcult question to answer and originally back before John McCain took the lead position for the GOP I was leaning towards Ralph Nader. However the dangers of John McCain winning is to great to risk that so Barack Obama will be my choice this year. Over the weekend Barack Obama is contrasting Iraq’s budget surplus and America’s budget deficit as one of the reasons a change is needed in Washington. The Senator from Illinois makes the comments in the Democratic Radio Address. It's the first time he’s delivered the weekly address since becoming my party’s presumptive presidential nominee. He said, “We learned this week was that the Iraqi government now has a $79 billion budget surplus thanks to their windfall oil profits. And while this Iraqi money sits in American banks, (thank you) American taxpayers continue to spend $10 billion a month to defend and rebuild Iraq. That’s right. America faces a huge budget deficit. Iraq has a surplus.” He went on to explain that, “Now, Senator McCain promises to continue President Bush’s open-ended commitment to the war in Iraq, while refusing to pressure Iraqis to take responsibility for their own country. Let me be clear: we are well over five years into a war in a country that had nothing to do with the 9/11 attacks. Furthermore our brave men and women in uniform have completed every mission they’ve been given. Our country has spent nearly a trillion dollars in Iraq, even as our schools are under funded, our roads and bridges are crumbling, and the cost of everything from groceries to a gallon of gas is soaring." He made a profound point... with the following statement, “the American people are worse off than they were eight years ago” and that the choice the presidential election between him and presumptive Republican presidential nominee John McCain could not be clearer." Barack Obama is correct, we can either chose to continue down the same road and watch this nation go from an economic recession to a depression or we can bravely stand up and choose someone else. John McCain has spent 30 years as a Washington insider doing the business of special interests at a profit to himself. If he was the great reformer - the maverick that his advertisements claim him to be then this nation would not be in the trouble it finds itself in now. John McCain has no answers to the problems that middles class Americans are faced with - John McCain is the problem and the choice for me is not McSame but change and I intend on voting for Barack Obama.
