Why do I want Obama to be president cont...

I hate to quote the current Bush but, Obama is "a uniter not a divider". I didn't get a chance to watch the debate in SC tonight but after reading comments on ABC's website, I had to post about a comment made by a Republican:

I watched this debate as I have all of the previous debates. It's getting punchy in there all right...but we knew it would especially with a Clinton (or should I make that plural) in the mix...I appreciate Chuck Todd's comment that Hillary "rarely answers a charge directly"...The only thing Chuck is you should change the word "rarely" to never...The Clinton's game plan IS never answer directly, choosing to carefully word answers without subject and verb and few adjectives using words and phrases right out of the latest opinion poll...Course I guess, it depends on what the meaning of the word "is" is....On Obama, I understand his "anger" so to speak, but in my opinion it was justified...I like the guy, and quite frankly, this long time Republican voter (me) is seriously thinking about voting for Obama for President...I can't remember the last time I voted for a Democrat, but he thinks out of the box, and I liked his brave statements about Reagan this past week. We need a President who thinks BIG, reaches across all aisles for support in Congress....Demo's and Rep's can ONLY fix what needs to be fixed by coming together, which would never be the Clinton way of doing things....She prefers to hit the people over the head with a hammer until they are knocked out or give up from the pain...The country needs to wake up and give Obama the chance of a lifetime...He seems like the only one with a fresh vision of our country and what America can become with the proper respect and dedication.

Obama can bring people together and make Republicans take a second look. This is why I can't be for Hillary--I don't think the entire nation would get behind her and vote for her. It'll be Democrats vs. Republicans. With Obama, people will actually have to think before they vote (what a concept!). I just had to share--and by the way, I'm an Independent voter (just in case you were curious).
