How did you first become an Obama supporter? [View all]
Leading up to the the last Presidential election, I was 100% for Hillary Clinton. ( I still have the remnants of a "Hillary" sticker on my car.) I had liked and voted for Bill Clinton and hoped she would bring about the same era of peace and prosperity that he had. I thought she had the experience, the smarts and the political savvy to beat the Republicans. Her record on women's rights was impressive. I thought she, as President, would rapidly end the Iraq war. My daughter was enthusiastic about a guy named Barrack Obama. I hadn't heard of him and never thought he had a chance in the world. As I became more educated about Obama, the more I shifted my support to him, although I thought his lack of experience would be a major downside in an election. His record on women's rights was excellent. He was against the Iraq war. I heard him speaking, and I liked what I heard. When Hillary dropped out and endorsed Obama, I was an Obama supporter immediately, especially with the nonsense and lies coming out of "McSame" and Palin. To be honest, the Republicans scared the Hell out of me and I would have voted for any Democrat! I went to the polls, voted Obama and I am so glad that I did.
I very proudly voted Obama/Biden in 2008 and will do so again in 2012.
