Change.



Barack Obama, if he becomes President of the United States, will bring change.

And it's not even just the policies he preaches or even the speeches that he gives. His mere presence has already improved general foreign opinion of the United States. Which is something the United States needs right now. Change. Especially after having their reputation torn to shreds because of the Bush administration.

And it's not because of band-wagoning on George Bush and his occasional speech errors. But his policies, especially dealing with Iraq, have been especially destructive because it discredits the United States and instills fear into the world because of the United State's disregard for the United Nations, her allies, or just the world in general.

But it's important for the American people not to simply jump on the most popular figurehead because as it's been proven before, that leads to error. Remember, after 9/11 the whole United States as a people rose up and demanded for the invasion of Iraq without really understanding what was going on. So again, understand. If you know what Obama stands for, awesome. If not, open a newspaper.
