I've watched with frustration as the nation seems fixated on on anything but issues. As often as Obama tries to bring focus to the things that make our lives better, the McCain campaign distracts and distorts. Indeed, McCain has now taken to distorting a report about how he was distorting the facts. It is now wonder Americans are sick of politics as usual.
Well, I got a huge breath of fresh air today. Literally. I stayed up until the wee hours last night getting my work done so I could take a few hours today to go with my daughter's second grade class to the zoo. As I watched her incredibly hard working and dedicated teacher go about the crucial work of shaping my child's education, I was reminded of how many true heroes we have living in our midst. The people who do the hard work, day in and day out, of shaping a society we are proud of.
The real question in this election is not who said what, or who runs the meanest ads. No. The real question is whose policies will make the lives and work of these heroes easier. Who will help firefighters and police save lives. Who will help teachers shape the next generation.
The answer to that question: Barack Obama.
