I have a confession-I did not want Obama in 2008. I wanted Joe. BUT I think the stars lined up righ

I love Joe-always have, always will. I am grateful for Obama but I wanted Joe .

I think the stars lined up the right way. Obama was right for 2008 and now maybe this is right

and someone above knew we needed Joe NOW For THIS TIME

Joe knows what it means to be US.

He knows real pain, struggle and heart.

He is genuine

I kind of thought the roles would be reversed - Joe and Barack instead of Barack and Joe, with Barack running in 2016.

and I chose him over Obama. He has always been my favorite of ALL politicians. He so deserves to finally be able to assume the role of Commander-in-Chief!

I had moved to another state after the 2004 election and when Obama won the Iowa primaries, I registered to vote. I voted for him on Super Tuesday, went to rallies, knocked doors and made calls.

My parents wanted Hillary to win but all of my cousins and aunts and grandmother were Obama fans. I even tepidly wore an Obama t-shirt to our July 4th BBQ.

My daughter was 3 at the time and called him “Orock Obama”....good times

I saw his speech in 2004 at the convention but tuned out of politics after Dubya won again
