The belief that our destiny will not be written for us, but by us, by all those men and women who are not content to settle for the world as it is, who have the courage to remake the world as it should be." |

i don't care what anybody thinks anymore...I DON'T WANT OBAMA 2 WIN!!! there i said it!!! i can't stand the fact that black people (no offence) only want 2 vote 4 him bcuz he's black too. thats kind of racist & is a discrimination.i'm sick and tired of obama's fairytales about ending the war.itz so not going 2 b as easy as he makes it seem. i want hilary 2 win the presidency & obama can b the v.p. that wya, they'll both be making history.1st woman president & 1st black v.p. plus,having hilary as president would b a lot better because bill clinton was an awsome president, too. who doesn't like bill clinton???seriously, well...thats wut i believe & i don't care what anyone else thinks & NO I AM NOT RACIST!!! I'M A REALIST!!! {i feel a lot better now }

I am guessing that both these people would make a better president than Bush though i have read some of Hillary's propositions and there were a couple of points i wasn't convinced with...though same would go for Obama...it is a really hard coice...

They both seem to be on the same page about education and ending the war in Irag. these two things are very important to me.
This is going to be a hard chioice.
