Why I vote for Obama.

The SuperPACs have started their bombardments, even on TheWeatherChannel! Neither party has held a convention yet, and its this prevalent? Groan, many Groans.

Once more, this is the personality of the man I believe we all need in that White House in D.C.
The best thing about spontaneity is its honesty, its human elements of truth and of decency.

But how would you like to be that baby immortalized forever with the POTUS with that hair? What were the parents thinking?

Has to be his sister at that table.

As much as I like our President, its the look on the faces in the crowds around him that say more than anything I could come up with.

That looks like a Canadian Maple Leaf thing on the plate. He's a Canuck posing as a real American!

This "spontaneity and honesty" thing will be his undoing!



And, I'm alerting on your post. You have violated the rules of the Lounge with your serious and thoughtful post, troll!

I have dialup, so radar takes forever to load. We had storms, storm after storm after.... The NOAA radio was coming on more than it was off- with alerts. So the only radar I could see, to get an idea what was coming next, was TheWeatherChannel when DISH would come back. TWC and CNN -and the antii-Obama ads pretty much were all that was on besides "regular programming". Have no idea if everyone else was getting the frequent ads by the RNC's SuperPAC allies, but if this is an indication of what we get to face, we'll need to try and recall WHY we vote for this POTUS. By the time I hit the pillow truly wondered if all Americans will decide to root for the underdog POTUS. When I got up this morning, decided I needed to look at those photos again, and that maybe if others had been buried by the same ads, maybe they could use a bright spot.

My favorite is "this POTUS" in the oval office running with the toddler.
