I finished reading Dreams from My Father, and the Audacity of Hope a while ago. I thought that dreams from my father was won of the most interesting books that I have ever read. Audacity was interesting because you can see why he takes the positions he does. I would have to give both books 2 thumbs up.
all right, now that I'm done with that. Is anyone else sick and tired of hearing McCain? I mean it seems that every time this guy opens his old mouth he digs himself into an even deeper whole. "the fundamentals of our economy are strong"? wtf!? and then he said that the "fundamentals" are the american workers? Bullshit. ok. now my question is, why are the polls this close? I know that Barack has pulled back ahead, but with all the gaffs that the McCain campaign has been making lately (blackberry), but shouldn't Obama be ahead by 15-20 points. Is it just because people aren't paying attention? Are most americans just ignorant? or are the polls just not accurate? If someone has an answer please let me know.
That's enough ranting and raving for me. Peace out.

I am an 18 year old college student from the U.P. of Michigan. I am white, very white, half German, and Half Finnish to be precise. I am supporting Barack Obama because I believe that he is our best chance to bring respect back to these United States. I think that we need to get out of Iraq to focus on Afghanistan,and to free up the trillions of dollars that this useless war in Iraq is costing. November 4th baby! We will show the world what America is all about! The American Dream is real.
I bought Dreams from My Father recently and am in the process of reading it. So far I love it, I'm on chapter 17 and am advancing rapidly in it. My favorite chapter so far was chapter 14 when Barack first met Rev. Jeremiah Wright and went to church at trinity united. I loved the fact that those people in the church still had the desire to sing/shout praises to the Lord, even though many of them were in bad situations with scarcely a way out. Kudos to Mr. Obama on his excellent writing ability. I'm really pulled into the story of his life. After I am done with Dreams from My Father, I am going to begin to read The Audacity of Hope, which I picked up at the same time.
