Voting

So I've officially done it, I've officially voted in the 2008 presidential elections through north carolian's early voter system. More or less, this system is based on the absentee ballot system, only instead of filling out the ballot at home and mailing it in, you go to one of the states designated early voting places and vote as if you were voting on election day.

So who did I vote for? Hmm, should I keep that a secrete? Leave you all in suspense? Naaaw, I voted Obama. The most important issues for me are the war on terror, and how it's been going in the wrong direction, and the future of healthcare in our great nation. I strongly feel we need out of Iraq, a new focus on Afghanastan and Al-Quida/The Taliban (particularly the capture or death of Osama Bin-Ladin), Iraq.... Lets face it, there's only one reason why George W. Bush invaded Iraq, so he can show up his father by ousting Saddam Hussain, that was in. Pure and simple he just wanted to prove he could finish the job his father was smart enough to leave unfinished years ago.

As far as healthcare, I'm a very strong believer that there needs to be a safety net for all american citizens, no one should go with out the medical attention they require. That's excatly what the Senator from Illinois is proposing, not communism or socialism, a safety net pure and simple. Basically for those of us with employer provided healthcare, we're keeping our current healthcare pure and simple. For those people that have employer provided care, but have to pay crushing fees to get coverage, the Obama administration is going to make sure your employee buy in price gets reduced significantly. For those of you who just don't have any sort of healthcare, you can buy into a federal plan, very similar to the very same socialized medicine system that Senator McCain has had access to his entire life.

So anyway, that's my adventure for today, and the reasons why I'm currently feeling more "GoBama" than pro-mccain and voiced my opinion appropriately. For everyone else out there, I strongly urge that you make sure you get out and vote!! Have a great weekend y'all
