John McCain States His Opposition To Gay Marriage To Ellen Degeneres

Barack Obama is poised to win the Democratic bid for presidential nominee, and in all likelihood will secure that nomination, despite the lack of interest in a few hillbillies in a few states who shall go unmentioned. This is ultimately the way it should be, and if there is any justice in this world, Barack Obama will go on to win the presidency of the United States.

It's not that I have anything against Hillary Clinton, other than her being a shrew, it's just that I don't feel she has the charisma to unite the nation and create the necessary changes needed to take this country to the next level of greatness.

It occurred to me the other day that not only could Barack's win as President create a whole new dynamic for the United States, but also a whole new dynamic for the world at large. Imagine the message this will send to the entire world.

Barack's ability to transcend his race to become our leader will show the world one's skin color really ISN'T a barrier to fulfilling your dreams. That's not to say people should vote for Barack simply because he's black, but rather because he's capable, qualified, and prepared to take the necessary measures to secure our future. The fact that he's black, is to me, a real bonus. If ever there were a time when I could say worst of racism history were behind us, will be the day Barack becomes President of the United States. Think about that.

As for John McCain, well, he's a fine man and all and he's certainly has many tremendous qualities, including bravery, candidness and experience — but apparently, as is illustrated above, he's still clinging to notions that just aren't in line with the future. I like him, I really do. But I do NOT like his stance on gay marriage, because it implies that we are still a backwards-thinking country.
