I'd rather love than hate.

Anonymous asked I doubt Obama will win.

What is it about Obama that you like so much, anyway? Why do you think he is a good president? Why do want him to win the next election?

Just curious.

I think Obama has a sizable chance at winning.

I think he’s a great President because he knows how to get us on the road to becoming a more progressive and liberal nation. He knows not to rush reforms and not to rush our country into things we’re not ready for. He’s taking it slow, so we can have a better outcome, and I seriously admire that. He started a movement, not just a campaign, last election. A movement that captured the hearts and minds of almost everyone in America. College kids became a part of the political process because they knew we needed change and they saw that in Barack Obama. The election of Barack Obama was our chance to change everything. The race barrier, backwards policies, and significantly improve our global image. In my opinion, he’s done all of that and is on his way to doing even greater things. He knows when to compromise but not give up what he believes in, which is saying a lot compared to his Republican friends. He’s calm, cool, and laid back. He’s down to Earth and knows what it’s like to be an everyday American. He’s even a great dad and husband, you can just see that in his character when he’s around his family. He doesn’t let the hate or the ridiculous critics get to him, he knows what he’s doing and he knows how to get things down in our messy political system. He loves his country enough to try and change it for the better. He represents everything a great man should be.
