Obama: An inspiration to us all
I was reading an article this morning about how the enthusiasm gap between Obama supporters and McCain supports in monstrous. Of course, if I was supporting McCain, I wouldn’t feel too enthusiastic either, however, that’s not the point of this post.
What really caught my eye was a comment left on the article by one of it’s reader. I’ve always thought of Obama as a smart, well spoken, hopeful and energetic person, but he’s so much more than that. He, as this commenter so eloquently put it, is an embodiment of the American Dream and an inspiration to us all.
Barack Obama is an inspiration to my family and everyone else. Barack Obama’s story is the quintessential American story – born to black immigrant Muslim father, white atheist mom – yet he found Christianity ( I’m not religious, but I still find this commendable in America ), bi-racial, single mom, raised by grandparents – yet, inspite of these odds, he achieved something wonderful, not by quota system or depriving others, but by pulling himself up. There are 2 ways to present yourself to the American people – pull yourself up through extolling your virtues ( Obama style ) or put the other person down as you have nothing to offer ( McCain/Palin style ). Obama has run the cleanest campaign to date and he is an inspiration to all.
We’re immigrants too ( from India ) and find him fascinating. I feel Barack Obama is America.Hence, we will all be firmly behind him as he takes America back to those soaring heights.
Tuesday’s the day when you can make a difference. It’s up to you.
Go Obama!
Ten Reasons to Grow a Beard
As most of you know, but some of you don’t (how profound was that!), I have a beard (see image on left). I like it. So do some of my friends. Others hate it. However, I have never looked at it as being so versatile. Luckily, this website has taught me something:

Hayden Panettiere: Smoke Cigarettes & Vote McCain
I don’t know about you, but I think she’s hit it right on the head.

Don’t call it a comeback
I’m in the midst of a business trip right now, but felt the need to write a quick post about last night’s debate (if you want to call it that).
Hands down, Obama won. Even looking at it through the eyes of someone who is not a Barack supporter, there’s no denying that he looked more poised, more in control, and gave more specific details of his plan of action. McSame, on the other hand, looked flustered and grumpy. He spoke in mass generalities (just like Palin, what a shocker) and made absurd statements like, “…fixing Social Security is easy.” Oh, I see John, you’ve just been waiting for the right time to do it. Twenty-six years in Congress and you just never got around to it. Nice work.
After last night’s debate, and along with everything that’s happened in the last few weeks, anyone who can look at McSame and still think he’s the best man for the job is certifiably insane (or a racist). Which actually brings up an interesting point: I can actually understand someone not voting for Obama because he’s black better than I can not voting for him because they think McSame is better. That’s sad.
