Dear James, Daniel and Emily
This little story highlights one of the real differences we face in the Presidential election. I sincerely hope that by the time you start reading this we will be talking about the greatness of the Obama Presidency, and how its' message of hope, and the way it embraced cutural change made this country much better. Even if the Obama Presidency is not some hugely dramatic change in our country's history I do think it is important that you understand the differences we faced in the election. On the one hand there was a candidate who embraced his inteligence and education, and yearned to share with others. Who was willing to tell American's: "I do know what is best, and the best and the most popular decisions are not always the same". And on the other hand there was an older candidate who was campaigning on his standing as a military hero, who based much of his campaign on fear: "If you elect the other guy horrible things will happen". And I made what I felt was a clear choice: vote for the man who openly embraced knowledge and not for the man who felt that ignoring the people who really did know better because they didn't really 'know what the little man felt' was good policy.
