At the beginning of the election, I didn't care who won. I heard people talk about it, but, like other teens, I wasn't really interested. The fact that my parents supported McCain didn't really help. If I supported anyone, it was McCain, without even knowing about his campaign.

But all that changed when my friend showed me two videos. Part one can be found at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IH0xzsogzAk. Part two can be found at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GEtZlR3zp4c. They feature McCains lies and how they hurt the thruth of both campaigns. I admit that before I saw those videos I thought that the choice of my parents was MY choice. I admit that before I saw those videos I didn't completely support Obama. I can also say, though, that after I saw those videos, I began to "snap out of it". I realized that every choice I make is mine, be it about the 2008 Election or otherwise... it belongs to me and always will. And no one can change that. Not even parents!
