With the political condition of our country and a new election around the corner this is one of the most important times in American history. We are in a war,oil prices are crippling the working class, health care does not exist for those that need it most. Should I go on. I am now looking at them Dem's for our country's leadership. As with everyone running for our nation's top spot I hope Sen. Obama's remarks and campaign issues are not just "talk bandaids" to get to 1600 Pennslyvania Ave. We have the inherent ability to fix our own country. I know for a fact that the small family making 10 bucks an hour would gladly make personal changes if it meant positive changes for the country as a whole. We have the talk, we have the resources, we have the brains, and we have the ability to fix all of OUR ill's. We just have to many politicians that fight all that is good and to old school to change.
