My Endorsement for Senator Barack Obama

Heimermann Endorsement for Senator Barack Obama

Official News Release: www.AsherHeimermann.com

Senator Barack Obama has outlined the fundamental choice in this race: He believes that the catastrophic failure of the Bush years has led us to a moment where it's not just Democrats who are listening to what we have to say, but Independents and Republicans. Thats why this election is a chance to turn the page by offering the American people a fundamentally different choice in 2008 - not just in policies, but in leadership style.

The other top candidate in this race has run what Washington would call a "textbook" campaign. But the problem is the textbook itself. It's a textbook that's all about winning elections, but says nothing about how to bring the country together to solve problems. It encourages vague, calculated answers to suit the politics of the moment, instead of clear, consistent principles about how to lead America. It teaches you that you can promise progress for everyday people while striking a bargain with the very special interests who crowd them out.

When Senator Obama is the Democratic nominee, his Republican opponent won't be able to say that he was for the war in Iraq before he was against it; or that he supported an extension of the Iraq war into Iran; or that he supports the Bush-Cheney diplomacy of not talking to leaders we don't like. And his Republican opponent won't be able to say that he flip-flopped on something as fundamental as whether our nation should use torture because his answer has been clear from day one - never.

Senator Obama is in this race because he doesn't want to see us spend the next year re-fighting the Washington battles of the 1990s. He doesn't want to pit Blue America against Red America, he wants to lead a United States of America. He doesn't want this election to be about the past, because if it's about the future, we all win. If this election is about whether or not to end this war, or pass universal health care, or make college more affordable, it won't just be a Democratic victory; it will be an American victory.

I don't remember sharing this with you DUers but I thought you might want to read this.

1. Good Lord...
   
...when I was in 9th grade, about the only thing that was on my mind was winning a part in the school play and keeping my face free of blemishes.

You are one enterprising young man!

2. Yeah.. when I was in 9th grade, I had a crush on the Thompson brothers..
   
I couldn't decide which one I liked best, so I decided to break both their hearts and dumped them for Cory, my science-lab partner..

There's more since my fellow alum did that mercy euthenasia on the cherub, who shouldn't have been hanging around Skins's island anyway, he being too young and too naive.

Posting an article "teaser" on DU, then saying,"To read the rest of this article, click here," and it took you to his blog. Oh boy.
