I am a first time voter, I am 25 and I've been absolutely inspired by Barack Obama and the entire election process this time around. He has inspired me not through his exceptional ability to speak publicly but by his message in his speaking. He has inspired me with the same enthusiasm and determination as JFK did in the 1960's and I understand that we prosper not by electing the most capable president but by being a force BEHIND that president. Let me also state that with the present status of the US and the failures of the current administration, I stand and say I take responsiblity for not voicing my opinion in the previous election. Rather then complain about this administration, I want to be part of the solution and Obama is my outlet for that solution. "If I must choose between righteousness and peace, I choose righteousness."
